If your pet has been using DOUXO® S3 PYO to get a skin flare-up under control, you might be wondering what comes next. Once their skin has settled, it’s time to think about maintenance, and that’s where DOUXO® S3 CALM comes in.

For pets prone to sensitive or allergic skin, it’s easy to think the problem has gone once the skin has calmed down. Ongoing care can make all the difference, helping keep skin healthy and better protected rather than waiting for the next flare-up. Our Joii team is available 24 hours a day for advice.

Step one: getting the flare-up under control

When your pet’s skin problem flares up, it can lead to an overgrowth of bacteria or yeast.

• This can make inflammation and itching worse and contribute to skin infections.

• An antiseptic, such as chlorhexidine, can help reduce these microorganisms and bring the skin back to its normal, healthy balance.

That’s where DOUXO® S3 PYO comes in.

Why treating the flare-up is only the first step

Many skin problems, including atopic dermatitis in dogs and cats, are long-term conditions where flare-ups come and go. The cycle often begins with a weakened skin barrier.

Step two: everyday care with DOUXO® S3 CALM

DOUXO® S3 CALM contains a high concentration of Ophytrium, which:

• Helps strengthen the skin barrier.

• Helps maintain a balanced skin microbiome.

• Soothes irritation and inflammation.

That makes it ideal for regular maintenance. It helps address some of the underlying issues that allow problems to develop in the first place, and reduces the risk of future flare-ups.

DOUXO® S3 CALM is also available as a shampoo, mousse and shampoo bar. If you’re using the shampoo or shampoo bar as part of your pet’s routine, our guide on how to bathe your dog covers what to use and how often.

Is it time to make the switch?

Speak to one of our Joii vets if:

• You’re not sure whether your pet’s skin has settled enough to switch

• Your pet’s skin flares up again after switching

• You’d like advice on which DOUXO® S3 format suits your pet

• You want advice on managing your pet’s sensitive skin at home

Always follow your vet’s advice, particularly if your pet has been diagnosed with an allergy or recurring skin problem. If your pet develops new, persistent or worsening skin issues, speak to a vet.
