PYO Medicated Dog Mousse - Bacterial & Yeast Infection Treatment | Chlorhexidine for Dogs; Waterless Shampoo, Antibacterial & Antiseptic, for Dogs Only, Clinically Proven, 5 fl oz

TL;DR: Mousse is fantastic for spot treatments, but for more severe or full body yeast issues, or if your dog is large/has long hair, pair with the douxoS3 pyo shampoo and leave it (shampoo) on a full 10 minutes each bath 3x a week! Use the mousse between baths on trouble areas. -------- This might be long, but bear with me. My dog almost 6 years old and about 2 years ago when we made a cross country move (2000 miles away, so very different part of the country with very different environmental factors) my dog started having allergies. I didn't recognize them as allergies at first because he would just get a rash in his groin. I just thought his skin was sensitive and running through thorns and high brush was irritating him. I could not have been more wrong. Over the last 2 years his allergies have evolved into a systemic issue. To make a very long story short, I put him on a strict and balanced raw diet in attempt to heal the gut around Thanksgiving after much research (spoiler alert, he hasn't been on it long enough yet for that to come to fruition) and about the time I started that I took him to the vet for a round of steroids and antibiotics to clear up his current flare. His flare ups happen in our wet season, and through a process of elimination I have narrowed it down to a mold allergy. The vet told me it wasn't worth the money to do an environmental allergy test because it comes back with all sorts of stuff that you can't really do anything about. So this is all speculation on my part as it's the only thing that makes sense. This past spring in our rainy season and after a winter of super stank, he did a round of steroids and antibiotics and everything cleared up and we had a great summer. I didn't think much of it, all we dealt with was the rash occasionally and the vet put him on a sensitive skin and stomach food which tremendously helped with his sensitive stomach (gas, diarrhea, and vomiting) but did nothing for his skin. Come fall (and the rain) it flared back up again with a vengeance. He smelled like the biggest musty gym sock in the world, it was horrible, and he was itching like crazy. My entire house smelled like a teenagers stinky feet that haven't been washed in months , despite bathing him very frequently at the vets suggestion. When we started bringing wood in for the wood stove it escalated to a point where it was unmanageable with my over the counter remedies (either he is allergic to some of the wood or more likely mold spores brought in on the wood), so I took him back for a other round of steroids and antibiotics, hoping that would get us through winter. No such luck. We weren't even done tapering off of the steroids and the yeast smell came back with a vengeance as well as itchy, goopy, watery eyes. It was SO BAD. We were both miserable. I had just started a raw diet hoping that would help, but it takes several months for the gut to heal and we just didn't have that kind of time while he was miserable. As much as I really hated to do it, I took him in for a cytopoint shot, hoping this would buy us more time until his gut could heal and his immune system could stand a chance at tackling this allergy. Probably counterintuitive but I was grasping at straws. I'm trying to make this short and sweet but believe me when I say for the last 2 years I've tried literally everything to get to the bottom of and remedy this issue. I joined some dog allergy fb groups and heard about douxoS3 SO MANY TIMES I thought it was worth trying out. So I ordered the douxoS3 pyo as well as the calm on the same day I took him in for the shot which was a Friday. I didn't know at the time that I took him in, but the cytopoint shot would do absolutely nothing to decrease the yeast. According to further research I'd done online, the vet should have given us something to tackle the yeast because if they didn't, the yeast wasn't going away on its own. Most of his itching is yeast related. He doesn't itch until the yeast smell gets unbearable. But the allergy evidently causes the skin to be susceptible to yeast. Long story longer, I received the douxoS3 on Monday, and before I picked it up from the post office I called the vet to see if they would prescribe something to help with the yeast. They would not, and recommended I bathe him in an oatmeal shampoo 😑 which I have done for almost a year now. That does absolutely nothing, he smells just as bad within hours of having a very thorough bath as he did before. Thank goodness I had ordered this stuff because the vet was little to no help. We live 1.5 hours from this vet, which is the closest vet to us, so it's not like I have a lot of options. Monday evening when I got home with the douxoS3 I opened it first thing and covered my dog from head to toe in the pyo and prayed for the best. The next morning I could tell the yeast aroma was significantly decreased. This evening, he just smells like the light fragrance of the douxoS3 with a very faint yeasty smell, and that's only if I bury my nose in his fur. I can definitely tell it's working. He's sitting on the couch next to me as I type this and I smell zero yeast. You can usually smell him 10 feet away. He fills whatever room he is in with the smell of dirty gym socks. But not today!!! And this is after ONE application!! I will definitely update this review as things progress, but I won't lie... I was very much NOT expecting to have results this great or this quickly. It's been 24 hours since his first application and things have calmed down significantly and the yeast smell is 95% reduced. Time will tell if the cytopoint keeps the allergies under control, but in my opinion the yeast is worse than the allergy. If I can keep the yeast under control, that's the biggest thing. He's not getting yeast because he scratches himself and damages the skin, the yeast comes first, then the itching. Why he gets the yeast so bad so fast, I don't know, the vet says allergies, but the yeast is our biggest problem for sure. As long as I can keep that under control, the heck with this $175 shot every month or two. I can buy 7 douxoS3 pyo mousse bottles for what I can get one shot that doesn't seem to do much. That to me is a great value. And it brings comfort for both my dog and my nose. As far as the mousse goes, I didn't have a difficult time using it. My dog is 77 pounds and I should have used about 20 pumps according to the bottle but I probably used about 30ish pumps. I did cover him from head to toe, from the poot to the snoot, careful not to get it in his eyes or anything, but I literally slathered him in it. He does have a double coat, so maybe that's why I had to use a little more than recommended. But it held its lather and rubbed in easily. It left his hair crunchy after it dried, but that was easily brushed out. The skin in his groin is usually tacky/sticky feeling (sign of yeast) but it's has been soft and dry today. It's far easier to apply the mousse than to give him a medicated bath 3x a week. I cannot tell you how excited I am that he doesn't smell like a dirty sock AFTER JUST ONE APPLICATION!! I've used numerous medicated shampoos and topical treatments, this is by far the most effective yet. We will continue using it 3x a week for about 3 weeks to hopefully knock this yeast totally out. I will always keep this on hand from now on. And I'll definitely update this review as things progress. This was worth every penny I spent on it, 10/10 definitely recommend if your dog has yeast problems. If this stuff doesn't help, you may have something other than yeast going on. I only wish I'd found it sooner because I have spent SO MUCH money on other things that didn't work or made things worse. I also wanted to mention, the pyo version is for dogs only, but the calm version can be used on dogs and cats. I'm assuming the chlorhexidine in the pyo isn't safe for cats to lick as they groom them selves much more heavily than dogs. So if you are ordering this for a cat, don't go for the pyo, but order the calm instead as it states it's safe for cats. TLDR; This stuff is awesome and 24 hours after the first application we have had major positive results!!! It was worth every penny and I am sad I didn't find it before now! It will be a staple at my house from now on. 10/10!! ------ 1/31/26 edit: Ok long story longer, this mousse DID help some, but I'll tell you more about that in a minute. I had been applying this to my dog's whole body 3x a week, for about 24 hours after application, things would be great, then it was back to the same stinky problem. I reached back out to the vet because I had probably a dozen different medicated shampoos I could use in addition to the mousse and I felt like we weren't getting anywhere. They recommended bpo3, so I ordered that and stopped the pyo mousse (didn't want to overdo it and dry him out). The first time I used the bpo3 it was a disaster, it was like his symptoms got 10x worse. I called the vet back, I wanted to know what the best shampoo to use was because the bpo3 made things worse and was met with "it will just be trial and error". They had never even heard of douxo. The cytopoint shot caused my dog to have some pretty bad gastrointestinal issues too, and I felt like the vet was not really taking anything seriously and just wanting to push the cytopoint, but that wasn't going to solve the yeast problem. I wound up finding another vet to get a 2nd opinion. This vet wound up being absolutely AMAZING and she talked me into doing an allergy test (still waiting on results) because they do immunotherapy (the other vet didn't, and didn't even seem to know much of anything about it) and that would be our key to getting the allergies under control and not just managing itch and constantly fighting yeast, because my dog never itches until the yeast gets bad. He also has watery itchy eyes, was losing hair in multiple places, and his yeast had gotten so bad he was shedding tons and had enough dandruff to cause a blizzard. This vet actually had douxo ON THE SHELF in their clinic. She recommended I try the douxoS3 pyo shampoo and just use the mousse for spot treatment on trouble areas between baths. Reason being, the shampoo is much better and stronger for full body use than the mousse. It penetrates much better than the mousse alone. So I got some of the douxoS3 pyo shampoo and I leave it on him for a full 10 minutes when I bathe him. We have used it twice and I just use the mousse on the spots he has hair loss. I can already tell a remarkable improvement after just 2 baths, he's not itching nearly as much, the dandruff has calmed down and the smell is much improved. So I said all of that to say this ... The mousse most definitely has a place, but if you are fighting yeast over your dogs entire body or in large areas, I very much recommend the pyo shampoo. The mousse is wonderful for smaller trouble spots and for paws since it's hard to get the shampoo to sit for 10 minutes when they are standing in water. If you just need a spot treatment the mousse is your best friend! I am sure we will be using it a lot this summer when his groin rash gets bad from running through the brush. I don't know how much longer I could afford to use the mousse on his whole body, it took a lot, so if your dog is larger, has a lot of hair, or has yeast over the majority of their body, I recommend both the shampoo and the mousse used together. It's pretty expensive, but it's well worth it. Hopefully once we get the yeast under control and get started on immunotherapy we won't have to do baths 3x a week anymore. I will update this review as time goes on, hopefully we keep moving in the right direction!

I’ve tried numerous products on my GSD who is in and out of the lake and has allergies. A difficult combination to manage. This product really works!!! Originally prescribed by a veterinarian after surgery to keep the incision less irritated and infection-free. Easy to apple as it is a mousse, doesn’t drip like a spray, or leave the skin sticky and greasy like an ointment. Absorbs quickly, less chance your pet will lick it off. Smells nice, too. I see decreased redness and inflammation within a day. My dog settles down, less attempts to lick or scratch the affected area.

Works!! And vet recommended it to me to help with my dog yeast infection and skin irritation. It did improve my dogs skin condition drastically. Great value for the money I would recommend just as my vet recommended it to me. It’s a foam, basically the same as moose that humans use. Get this is your dog has skin issues or needs some soothing.

This is the best stuff I've found for my dog's skin allergies. We've been to the vet several times and have tried multiple products. He's been on immune therapy, steroids, medicated baths, fluconazole, tea tree oil products, hot spot treatments, probiotics, and more. This mousse had made the top of our list. It smells nice, like coconut. It's easy to apply and it dries quickly. I rub it on my dog's hot spots. Mostly on his neck, throat, and groin area. This is the only product that has consistently cleared his skin, as long as I keep up with it. I apply it about every other day, no matter how good the skin looks. My dog used to stink and a bath would only be effective for a few days. I'm so grateful that he doesn't smell bad anymore. Try the product if you're going through a skin allergy nightmare. Just apply it to the skin, and leave it. No rinsing is necessary. Keep putting it on every day. My dog is no longer scratching his hair out. It's worth every penny.

Anyone who suffers with an itchy, paw licking, hot spot suffering canine- read on. I have a dog who is seemingly allergic to air. His paws get so bad they bleed when he walks!! And at one point he scratched himself raw on his neck. So, this is a severe case. We have tried everything under the sun. Everything. So, I’d consider myself an expert at this point. Here is my honest review of the Douxo line: Shampoo: this is the best product in the line. I use once a week. Honestly, it works for about 2-3 days, then needs another go. That’s expensive for the small bottle and my big dog. It does remove corn chip odor. I try and leave it on 4-5 minutes in shower, but that can be tough with my dog who doesn't love showers. The smell is nice. It removed dandruff and cleared up his neck. I have considered soaking paws in this nightly, but not sure how that would go. Foam: in between washes we use the foam. This does seem to work- though it is messy to apply. I use mostly on legs, paws, and neck. It does keep down corn chip odor and seems to help redness. It is not a miracle cure. And, it's expensive for the extensive use. It helps, but does not cure/end the paw licking. Wipes: I use this extensively on paws each night. It is more cost affordable than the foam, but not as effective. Still it keeps his paws from bleeding. Does not handle the corn chip smell or stop bleeding- is more of a spot clean up. Now, anyone who deals with this knows this is just the outside. My guy is also on the K-9 probiotics. These seem to give him more energy, regular firm stools, and help his repetitive behavior. He does not mind taste at all. We have added Dogs are Human vitamins. All of this makes it bearable - it has not solved the problem. We are adding collagen next and I will update post if it helps significantly. The BIG PLUS of all of this is he is not on Aquapel, and we do not give him antihistamine daily anymore- which I feel good about. My dog is also OCD and the regimine here seems to have really helped with that. He does not chase lights nearly as much as he used to 8 out of 10 improvement. For all of this, I gave 4 stars because it is the best regimen of everything we have tried (which is everything) and has given him about a 6 out of 10 relief. Hope this helps! Best of luck to you!

I’m back this is my 3rd bottle and I’ve gotta say my Frenchie has really improved I’m shocked at how good this foam is I’ve also been telling others about this product and how great it works it’s not the cheapest but it’s been the best so far I’m just gonna say it if your having any skin issues with your fur baby and can’t afford to take them to the vet then try this duo s3 pyo mousse it’s really helped my French bulldog dramatically I’m so thankful and excited my dads also bought some and after 2 uses his bully had bad belly rash red bumps all over her stomach and legs and it looked so bad and he said he hasn’t had to use it sense that after 2 times it was gone and hasn’t come back he said he was keeping it put up just incase anything ever happens then he will have it ready but it’s done miracles for my fur baby that’s for sure I’ll check my phone And post some before pics and after because this is my 3rd bottle so I’ll leave more reviews and pictures so you all can see how good this stuff in a bottle Really is! It should be called Douxo Miracle mousse because it’s definitely a miracle in that foam that’s for sure !! Hope this helps I’m back with my third bottle, and I must say, my Frenchie has truly improved. I’m amazed at how effective this foam is. I’ve been recommending this product to others and sharing its remarkable results. It may not be the most affordable option, but it has been the best investment so far. If you’re facing skin issues with your furry companion and can’t afford veterinary care, I highly recommend trying this duo, S3 Pyo Mousse. It has made a significant difference in my French bulldog’s condition. I’m incredibly grateful and excited about the positive impact it has had. My dad also purchased some, and after two uses, his bully developed a severe belly rash with red bumps all over her stomach and legs. It looked terrible, but he said he hasn’t had to use it since then. After just two applications, the rash disappeared and hasn’t returned. He’s keeping the product on hand just in case, but it has already shown incredible results for my dog. I’ll check my phone and post some before and after pictures to showcase the effectiveness of this product. It’s truly remarkable! It should be called Douxo Miracle Mousse because the foam is undoubtedly a miracle. I hope this review helps you make an informed decision.

I love this stuff! It’s my go to for all my dog’s skin issues. It heals everything within a few days. I have been using this medication for years now with three different dogs, I have all white dogs and they tend to have allergies and hotspots. If it’s allergies, fungus, bacterial, who knows…rub this foam in and it’s gone!

My 1 yr old Boykin Spaniel is losing hair, getting skin infections and rashes all over his body, even though it first showed up in his paws. He has been very itchy and prone to rashes in the summer since he was a bitty baby. He doesn't seem to have a food allergy as his stool is fine, and the only thing that seems to create a new bald spot is high humidity when it is 70+ degrees. He eats a high quality food with omega 3 and probiotics, so I doubt he's got a nutritional deficiency. I had washed him with the B3PO when he was a baby, and he gets both Bravecto and Interceptor Plus oral medications. But even if the hydrogen peroxide shampoo cleared up his rash when he was a baby, he was still always so itchy and people would comment that he must have bugs or fleas. I've decided that what's wrong with my dog is that he must have a weak skin barrier because it seems like he's prone to infection by staph. The best antifungal/antibiotic is chlorhexidine, even better than neomycin or bactine or other common medicines available to put on your pet. I didn't see any products out there that target "skin barrier"; I had been using Skout's Honor Dog of the Woods daily detangler which has probiotics and that's usually the type of treatment that uses the words skin barrier, however I couldn't be sure that the product wasn't causing the issue because it seems he has a bacteria overgrowth, and adding bacteria doesn't necessarily cure the problem. The Duoxo PYO had a lot of research behind it so I felt safe trying it. Well I just got it today and I'm amazed. His infection seemed to be spiraling out of control and I was quietly panicking that it was only a matter of time before a new patch of skin turned bright red and he'd be itching it till it oozed and bled and some hair fell off. I didn't expect to see him stop scratching himself or trying to lick or bite a part of his body right away! It's as if he's forgotten all about his itchy skin. Especially when I put anything on him, he begins to hyperfocus on itching or licking himself. But with this he suddenly seems to be at ease in his skin. I'm not sure if I can afford a $20 bottle to use 3x per week on a 42lb dog. It seems that it takes a lot more than 10 pumps to treat his whole body, and they list the bottle as having 200 pumps. I'll have to see how his wounds heal up or if he gets new ones to really determine the value of the product. Hopefully his condition will stabilize and I can reserve using this product around times where he might potentially get stress on his immune system or when he's had to be in hot/humid conditions for an extended time which seems to result in a hot spot. The nice part about it working to repair the skin barrier is that you can potentially use less of it once your dog's health has been restored, not to mention to save yourself the time you spend watching him to make sure you don't have to powder/wash/annoint/brush/dry/restrain him from the damage he will do to himself if left to his own devices.
