Pyoderma (bacterial), Malassezia overgrowth (yeast), and mixed infections frequently present with red, irritated skin, an unpleasant odour, excessive scratching, and hair loss — and they can recur repeatedly if the skin's microbiome is not actively supported between veterinary treatments. Topical antiseptic care between episodes is a key component of long-term skin health management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCeva DOUXO S3 PYO is a veterinary dermatology line formulated specifically for dogs and cats with microbial skin conditions — bacterial pyoderma, Malassezia dermatitis, or mixed infections. The PYO line contains two active antiseptic agents — chlorhexidine (3%) and climbazole — combined with Ceva's proprietary Ophytrium technology to simultaneously fight infection and restore skin barrier integrity. Available in three formats: mousse (150 ml), shampoo (200 ml and 500 ml), and antiseptic pads (30-pack).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Active Ingredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChlorhexidine 3%:\u003c\/strong\u003e A broad-spectrum antiseptic with proven bactericidal and fungicidal activity.

The Ophytrium component is what distinguishes DOUXO from older chlorhexidine-only products: it addresses the skin barrier disruption that makes these dogs and cats vulnerable to recurrent infection. For dogs with recurrent pyoderma, combining regular DOUXO PYO use with dietary omega-3 supplementation often produces better long-term outcomes than topical treatment alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow often should I use DOUXO S3 PYO?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring active infection: 2–3 times per week.
