Pet skin care for greasy and flaky skin
What is the skin?
The skin is the largest organ of the body. It regulates your pet’s temperature and provides a barrier against the environment. It is made up of different layers, structures and microorganisms and it is important to keep all of these balanced to minimise the risk of skin disease developing. Topical treatments, like DouxoⓇS3, can help support and maintain your pet’s skin barrier.
Why is my pet’s skin greasy and/or flaky?
Your pet’s skin, like ours, constantly renews its protective outer layer. Sometimes this process doesn’t work properly leaving your pet’s coat looking flaky (like dandruff) and sometimes feeling greasy. This can be caused by an inherited disorder, unsuitable nutrition, or by an underlying disease. It is therefore important to get your pet looked at by a vet. Your vet will give your pet a physical exam and they may want to do some tests to see if there is an underlying problem causing the flaky skin.
Can I do anything for my pet?
The most important thing is to identify if there is an illness causing your pet’s skin to be flaky and/or greasy and get this treated. When there is excessive flaking and oil production of the skin, bacteria can also start to multiply making your pet more prone to skin infections. By supporting the skin with topical products designed to reduce the flaking and greasiness it can help speed up the return of the skin to a more normal state.
