Similar to humans scalp, dogs can present with oily skin.Is a common condition, although it can often go unnoticed in milder cases as very discreet. It can be generalised and affect the whole of the dog’s skin, or more localised, affecting only small patches. Where the skin is affected, it can be greasy and flaky (and in some cases, quite itchy for the dog) and it can be quite malodorous. Learn more about oily skin in dogs here.
Why is it important to have a routine for oily skin?
Oily skin can be a condition by itself, that means there is no underlying cause. Maintaining a routine for oily skin in dogs is vital for these dogs. In most cases, oily skin (I.e seborrhoea) is linked to another condition, that can be controlled, or not. Looking for the cause is essential to better manage oily manifestations. In any case, solving these manifestations require regular care for mid to long-term, depending on the underlying cause. Here are someadditional reasons why a routine is important for oily skins:
Prevents further issues: Oily skin is a nice environment for microbes to overgrowth. Taking care of oily skin may help limit microbial imbalance that can enhance manifestations with more itch and skin signs and alter your dog’s quality of life.
Ensures comfort: Oily skin can cause discomfort, including itching and irritation. By establishing a routine, you can manage oiliness, keeping your dog comfortable and free from signs of discomfort.
Reinforces the bond: Regular grooming and care routines provide opportunities for bonding with your pet. These interactions create positive experiences, enhancing the connection between you and your dog.
What to use for oily skin?

Apart from looking for the cause of oily skin, it is essential to help regulate skin greasiness to improve your dog’s comfort. Anti-seborrhoeic topical products are intended to regulate sebum production and subsequent unpleasant odors.
Dogs with greasy seborrhoea need their skin to be degreased while keeping a proper skin hydration. Sometimes excessive removal of grease can damage the epidermis and alter epidermal hydration, that is why the choice of the product used is crucial.
Seboliance, natural extract contained in DOUXO® S3 SEB has seboregulating properties, restore normal cell turnover preventing the formation of flakes and helps prevent yeast overgrowth that is favoured in seborrhoeic conditions. Ophytrium, in addition to other complementary ingredients in the formula allows for the maintenance of proper skin hydration, soothe itch if present and prevent adhesion of potentially pathogenic bacteria.
DOUXO® S3 SEB products are specially formulated to reduce excess sebum, unpleasant odors and dandruff, strengthen the skin barrier, maintain skin hydration, and prevent microorganisms overgrowth that are common in such conditions. It also restructures the barrier that protects your pet from external aggressions.
