Just like human skin, a dog's skin can be prone to allergic reactions that can manifest as skin irritations, itching and discomfort. Learn more about dog allergies on our dedicated page . Regular skin care of your dog is a crucial aspect of their grooming routine, especially when dealing with allergic skin.
Why is it important to have a routine for allergic skin?
Establishing a routine for managing allergic skin conditions in dogs is crucial for several reasons. Allergic skin issues, such as atopic dermatitis or food allergies, can significantly impact a dog's quality of life, causing discomfort, itching, and potential complications. Here are some reasons why a routine is important:
Manages lifelong disease: Allergic skin conditions often persist throughout a dog's life. Even if the skin looks normal, it is not, requiring continuous care and attention. A well-established routine ensures consistent management to keep symptoms under control and maintain the dog's skin health. As soon as the signs get out of control, having a routine allow to react quickly and get medical attention.
Treats hidden discomfort: Even if their skin appears normal on the surface, they might be experiencing underlying itching or irritation that is not immediately visible. In any case, even if the skin looks normal, microscopical changes are present and will contribute to a relapse in the future. A routine helps in addressing these subtle discomforts that might go unnoticed.
Ensures well-being: Chronic skin conditions can cause intense itching, discomfort, and pain for dogs. A well-designed routine helps alleviate symptoms and keeps the dog more comfortable longer.
Reinforces the bond: Dealing with a lifelong disease requires a sustained and trusting relationship between the owner and the dog. Following a routine establishes predictability and consistency, reducing stress for the dog. Using products practical and pleasant to use allow to strengthen the bond between the pet and its family over the long term.

Understanding the specific triggers for your dog's allergies is crucial in developing an effective management plan. Regular veterinary check-ups and observation of your dog's behavior and skin condition can help identify and address allergic reactions promptly.
What to use for allergic skin?
It will depend on what’s causing the allergy and is likely to evolve over time, and is often a combination of solutions. If not managed appropriately, the symptoms can rapidly worsen and become much more difficult to control.
There are four approaches that we can take to manage dog allergies:
Avoid the allergens where possible (e.g. frequent cleaning to minimise dust mites, regular preventative flea control, avoiding certain foods or cleaning products)

Let’s focus on the topical approach as it is the heart of the routine. Topical products bring soothing ingredients where needed. When dealing with allergic skin, it's crucial to choose topical products that not only provide soothing relief but also repair the damaged skin.
DOUXO® S3 CALM soothes itchy, irritated and sensitive skin while balancing skin microbiota which is commonly unbalanced in sensitive skins. It helps to protect the skin barrier ecosystem from allergens and improves skin hydration.
DOUXO® S3 teams developed a specific patented routine for allergic dogs, requiring less shampoos than usual, relying on the leave-on Mousse advantages. We recommend to bathe the dog once every 3 to 4 weeks with DOUXO® S3 CALM Shampoo, to remove dirt, debris, allergens, crusts, etc. mechanically and then use DOUXO® S3 CALM Mousse every 2-3 days. The mousse is complementary of the shampoo, bringing the ingredients for a long-lasting contact.
To focus even more on very sensitive areas, prone to relapses, you can use in addition DOUXO® S3 CALM Pads; one pad per affected area, once daily.
This protocol has been clinically proven and recommended by veterinarians throughout the world.
