Douxo S3 Calm Shampoo Bar - 100g

£17.06 (inc. VAT)

Douxo S3 Calm Shampoo Bar is a solid bar veterinary skincare cleanser designed for dogs and cats with sensitive, reactive or easily irritated skin. The solid bar format offers a practical way to wash a pet that dislikes long baths, while still delivering a thorough, gentle clean from skin to tip.

Douxo S3 Calm Shampoo Bar is intended for pets that scratch, lick, rub their face, or seem restless because their skin feels uncomfortable, particularly when dryness, environmental allergens or repeated washing have left the coat feeling tight and the skin looking pink, flaky or slightly scurfy. Because the bar glides directly over the coat, Douxo S3 Calm Shampoo Bar can be applied evenly across the body or focused on problem areas such as the chest, belly, paws and folds, without using large amounts of product. It is a supportive hygiene step for ongoing skin care, and it can be especially helpful when you want a calming wash that is easy to handle in the shower, bath or grooming area.

Itchy skin in pets often reflects a weakened skin barrier. When the outer layers of the skin do not hold on to moisture properly, the surface dries out and becomes more permeable, so everyday triggers such as pollen, house dust, grooming residues and hard water can sting or inflame. Scratching can feel relieving in the moment, but it also damages the barrier further, creating an itch–scratch cycle that is difficult to break. At the same time, irritation can disturb the skin’s normal balance, which may increase odour and leave the skin less resilient during flare-ups.

Rather than relying on harsh degreasing, Douxo S3 Calm Shampoo Bar aims to clean with a mild lather and then support comfort by helping the skin stay hydrated and better defended after rinsing. This approach is useful for pets whose skin reacts quickly to change, including those with seasonal itching or ongoing sensitivity that needs steady, low-irritant care. 100g

Description

Douxo S3 Calm Shampoo Bar works by a combination of targeted cleansing and barrier-focused care. First, it lifts and rinses away surface triggers such as dust, dried saliva, loose scale and environmental allergens that can keep itch going even after the original flare has settled. Next, the formulation is designed to leave the skin feeling comfortable rather than stripped, which matters because over-cleansing can remove protective lipids and worsen dryness.

Douxo S3 Calm uses a barrier-supporting ingredient complex selected to help soothe irritation, support the skin’s natural defences and maintain a healthy skin balance after washing. Alongside this, moisturising and conditioning agents help the coat feel softer and reduce the tight, “pulling” sensation that often accompanies dry, itchy skin. With regular use, Douxo S3 Calm Shampoo Bar can make the skin feel less reactive and the coat easier to manage, which can be particularly helpful when brushing or grooming has become uncomfortable for your pet.

Using Douxo Shampoo Bar correctly improves the chance of calming an itch episode. Wet the coat thoroughly with lukewarm water, then glide the bar over the body or rub it between your hands to build a light lather. Massage the foam down to the skin with slow, even pressure, paying attention to itchy sites but avoiding the eyes and the inside of the ears. Leaving the lather on for a short contact period, as advised on the label or by your vet, gives the soothing ingredients time to settle on the skin before you rinse. Rinse very thoroughly, because leftover residue from any shampoo can irritate sensitive skin if it is not removed. If your pet has a dense undercoat, part the hair and work in sections so that Douxo S3 Calm Shampoo Bar reaches the skin rather than sitting only on the topcoat. After the bath, pat the coat dry instead of vigorous rubbing, since friction can aggravate inflamed or itchy areas.

Douxo S3 Calm Shampoo Bar is often chosen when a pet’s itching feels “non-specific”, meaning there is no single dramatic cause, but the skin is repeatedly uncomfortable. It can be useful for pets that flare after walks in grass, for those with atopic tendencies that worsen in certain seasons, and for pets whose skin becomes dry after frequent bathing, swimming, or spending time in centrally heated homes. Many itchy pets also develop secondary skin changes such as increased scale, dull coat quality and over-grooming, and Douxo S3 Calm Shampoo Bar supports these issues by improving cleanse quality while keeping the skin feeling supple. It can also be used as part of a wider veterinary plan when your vet is addressing underlying factors such as flea allergy dermatitis, food-responsive skin disease, contact irritation, or recurrent ear and skin sensitivity. However, persistent itching, a strong smell, weeping skin, pustules, hair loss or marked redness can indicate infection or another condition that needs diagnosis, so Douxo S3 Calm Shampoo Bar should not replace veterinary assessment when signs are significant or worsening.

For best results, Douxo S3 Calm Shampoo Bar is usually used consistently during flare-prone periods rather than only once scratching becomes severe. Your vet may suggest a bathing schedule that matches your pet’s skin condition and lifestyle, and regular gentle cleansing can help keep irritants from building up on the coat between washes. Store Douxo S3 Calm Shampoo Bar somewhere it can dry fully between uses, such as a draining dish away from splashes, because a dry bar stays firm and lasts longer. If you are using spot-on flea control, medicated shampoos, topical sprays or leave-on skin products, follow veterinary advice on timing, since some treatments need a clear window before or after bathing. Used as a calm, routine cleanser, Douxo S3 Calm Shampoo Bar can be an efficient way to reduce day-to-day discomfort, support a healthier skin surface and make regular grooming more tolerable for pets that are prone to itching.

What is Douxo S3 Calm Shampoo Bar used for?
Douxo S3 Calm Shampoo Bar is used as a gentle cleansing step for dogs and cats with sensitive, dry or itchy skin. It helps wash away surface irritants such as dust and allergens while supporting skin comfort. It is typically used when regular shampoos seem too harsh or when frequent bathing is needed.

How often can I bathe my dog with Douxo S3 Calm Shampoo Bar?
Bathing frequency depends on the cause and severity of the itch, as well as any treatments your vet has prescribed. Many pets tolerate regular use because Douxo S3 Calm Shampoo Bar is designed for sensitive skin, but your vet may recommend a specific schedule during flare-ups and a maintenance routine afterwards.

Is Douxo S3 Calm suitable for cats as well as dogs?
Douxo Calm Shampoo Bar is designed for companion animals and is commonly used for both dogs and cats with delicate skin. Cats should be bathed only when needed and rinsed very thoroughly. If your cat has matted fur, open sores, or severe itch, it is sensible to ask your vet before bathing.

Will Douxo S3 Calm Shampoo Bar treat allergies?
Douxo S3 does not diagnose or cure allergies, but it can support comfort when allergies are part of the problem. Regular gentle cleansing can reduce the build-up of allergens on the coat and may help relieve dryness and irritation. Ongoing or severe allergy signs still need veterinary guidance.

What if my pet’s skin is very red, smelly, or weeping?
Marked redness, a strong odour, discharge, pustules, or weeping skin can suggest infection, parasites, or another condition that needs diagnosis. Douxo S3 Calm Shampoo Bar may be a supportive cleanser, but it should not delay veterinary assessment. Contact your vet, especially if your pet seems painful or unwell.
