Every dog and cat deserves clean, healthy skin — not just those with active dermatological conditions. Between veterinary treatments, after outdoor activity, or simply as part of a regular grooming routine, a gentle, microbiome-respectful shampoo is essential for maintaining baseline skin health. Most commercially available pet shampoos contain surfactants and fragrances that strip the skin of its natural lipids and disrupt the protective microbiome, causing more harm than good over repeated use.
Ceva DOUXO S3 Care Shampoo is a daily-use, maintenance shampoo formulated for dogs and cats with normal or mildly sensitive skin. It contains Ophytrium technology at a maintenance concentration to actively support the skin microbiome and barrier function without the antiseptic or keratolytic agents present in the PYO and SEB lines. It is soap-free, pH-balanced for pet skin, and free from harsh preservatives.

Supplement Advisor's Note
DOUXO S3 Care is the right shampoo for pets transitioning off a medicated line (e.g., completing a course of DOUXO S3 PYO) who need ongoing gentle support, for households that bathe their pets frequently, or as a baseline product for pets with mild or intermittent skin sensitivity. Its Ophytrium content means it provides active skin support rather than simply cleaning — making it a meaningfully better choice than most over-the-counter pet shampoos.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is DOUXO S3 Care different from the PYO, SEB, and Calm formulas?
DOUXO S3 Care is the maintenance and general-wellness shampoo — it contains Ophytrium for microbiome support but lacks the antiseptic agents of PYO, the keratolytic agents of SEB, or the intensive barrier-repair focus of Calm. It is for healthy or mildly sensitive skin; the other formulas are for specific dermatological conditions.
Can I use DOUXO S3 Care on a puppy or kitten?
Yes — it is gentle enough for young animals. Always avoid contact with eyes, and ensure thorough rinsing.
Can it be used after a medicated treatment course?
DOUXO S3 Care is an ideal transition shampoo after completing a course of DOUXO S3 PYO or SEB treatment, maintaining the skin barrier improvements achieved during therapy.
