For dogs with seborrhoeic skin disease that is focal, localized, or difficult to manage with shampoos — particularly those with skin folds, thick coats, or behavioural challenges around bathing — spot-on application offers a practical alternative delivery method. Rather than a full bath, targeted application directly to affected areas provides the same active ingredients without the handling challenge.
Ceva DOUXO Seb Spot-On provides phytosphingosine and essential fatty acids in a concentrated pipette form, applied directly to the skin in multiple spots along the dorsal midline. Each box contains 25 × 2 ml pipettes. The product is absorbed into the skin from the application site and distributed across the skin surface through natural movement and grooming.
Key Active Ingredients
Phytosphingosine: Normalizes sebaceous gland activity and supports ceramide synthesis for barrier repair in seborrhoeic skin.
Essential fatty acids (linoleic acid): Restores skin lipid composition and reduces transepidermal water loss — addressing the barrier dysfunction that underlies seborrhoeic disease.
Directions for Use
- Part the fur along the back between the shoulder blades and down the dorsal midline
- Apply contents of one pipette directly onto the skin (not the fur) across 4–5 spots
- Do not rub in — allow to absorb naturally
- Apply once weekly
- Prevent the pet from licking the application site for 30 minutes after application
Supplement Advisor's Note
DOUXO Seb Spot-On is particularly valuable for cats with seborrhoeic conditions, as cats are notoriously difficult to bathe. The spot-on format bypasses the bathing challenge entirely. For dogs, it is most useful between baths for maintenance — combining weekly spot-on application with biweekly DOUXO S3 SEB shampoo creates a comprehensive protocol for seborrhoeic skin management.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the spot-on safe if my pet licks it?
The ingredients are not acutely toxic, but ingestion should be avoided. Apply to an area the pet cannot easily lick, and monitor for 30 minutes after application. If the pet is highly prone to licking, use an Elizabethan collar briefly after application.
How many pipettes are in a box?
Each full box contains 25 pipettes × 2 ml. We sell this product in a 5-pipette format so you can get started at a lower upfront cost — ideal for first-time buyers or smaller pets who require less frequent application.
Can I use the spot-on and shampoo together?
Yes — using DOUXO S3 SEB shampoo for full-body bathing and DOUXO Seb Spot-On for between-bath maintenance is a well-established approach for seborrhoeic dogs and cats.
