Coat, skin & ear appearance
The general condition of your dog's skin, coat and ears are good indicators of its health. A healthy coat is shiny and smooth. A healthy skin is supple, well hydrated, not greasy, flaky, or red. A healthy ear is clear, free or with few cerumen, not red nor itchy. You pet’s fur, skin and ear appearance and texture are influenced by several factors:
Inside the body :
Food: you are absolutely right to choose the best nutrition for your furry friend
Health: any change on your pet’s skin or coat appearance may alert on a possible health disorder
Outside the body :
Environmental factors: the outside world is full of factors that may influence our dog’s coat and skin aspect such as allergens, parasites, microbes, etc.
Grooming: a grooming regime will help to detangle the fur and spread sebum on the whole body
Skin & ear care: Cleaning will help to remove dirt, debris while helping to detangle the fur, bringing ingredients to have a shiny coat and a skin protected against external aggressions

What products to use?
It depends on your dog’s condition and needs. It’s important to determine your pet’s skin and coat needs to choose an appropriate management plan.
Bath time
When it comes to bathing your dog, it is crucial to use products specifically formulated for their needs.
Regular human shampoos are not suitable for dogs and cats due to their different skin pH levels and the presence of additives that can irritate their skin. While baby shampoo may be a temporary alternative, it is still designed for human skin and should not be a long-term solution.
For a convenient and effective solution, specifically-adjusted products such as DOUXO® SPA for regular care and DOUXO® S3 for dermatological care in case of skin issues is recommended.
Formulated for routine baths, it is safe and well-tolerated in dogs. DOUXO® S3 and DOUXO® SPA products are free from soap, sulphate, paraben, colorant, phthalates, and nanoparticles, silicones, making it a gentle option for maintaining your dog's skin health and bring active ingredients if you are using a medicated shampoo.
A conditioner such as DOUXO® SPA Conditioner can be used for additional luster to your dog’s coat.
Additionnal skin and coat care
Shampooing a dog is not always easy as it requires adequate facilities and takes time. Using a leave-on solution such as Mousses allows to spend a very pleasant time. When a quick refresh is needed between regular baths, DOUXO® SPA Quick-Refresh Leave-On Mousse is a great solution. It’s a safe, easy-to-use formula that keeps your dog clean, soft, and smelling fresh without water.
For dogs with skin issues, DOUXO® S3 leave-on formulations are designed for longer skin contact, ensuring optimal results with no compromise on safety or performance for both you and your dog.
A full bath isn’t always needed to keep your dog clean, especially when they’re not fully dirty but just need a quick refresh. Whether it’s muddy paws, tear stains, or saliva marks, DOUXO® SPA Multipurpose Wipes offer a fast, gentle solution. They’re easy to use, effective, and a great way to maintain your pet’s hygiene while strengthening your bond with them.
For skin issues that affect only small areas, a full bath isn’t necessary. In these cases, Pads are a convenient option to target specific spots, removing germs and allergens while delivering active ingredients where needed. This is helpful for treating conditions like microbial or yeast imbalances or irritation from allergies.
Ear care
Ear cleaning is important for your dog’s hygiene and preventing ear problems. Regular ear checks, especially if done from a young age, will help your dog get used to having their ears handled.
The frequency of ear cleaning depends on factors like your dog’s health and habits. Dogs prone to ear infections, with hairy ears, or skin issues may need cleaning more often. If your dog enjoys swimming, cleaning and drying their ears afterward is a good idea.
However, avoid over-cleaning, as it can cause irritation and excess wax. If your dog is healthy, cleaning once a week to once a month should be enough, unless they have a breed-specific tendency for excessive wax, like Cocker Spaniels or Basset Hounds. Always consult your vet for guidance.
DOUXO® S3 and DOUXO® SPA can help you every day to take care of your dog whatever the routine needed.
