The (Douxo S3 Seb) products are so fantastic. Literally everyone says how amazing 'Richmond's coat is. Little 'Lottie' who is a long-haired dachshund had a phenomenal coat due to the regular (Douxo S3 Care) version. Honestly, so many people ask what I use as she’s so ludicrously soft, silky, has no ‘doggy’ smell etc. The products are incredible!

Client: Dr Khanya Price-Evans, Dachshund ‘Richmond’
The Sonotix…gosh I cannot sing its praises enough & in fact, I use it for both of the boys who suffer with their ears. They have their own bottles & I love love love it....needless to say lots of my friends with spaniels now also use it & love it as much as I do.

Client: Wendy Dale, English Springer Spaniel ‘Gulliver’_
We are both so happy with this result so far and ‘Captain’ most importantly is completely cone free and one very happy cat.

Clients: Mr Marc & Roxy Burrows, FIV positive cat ‘Captain’ (after trial will novel anti-itch medication without immunosuppressive side effects)
We have moved onto (Drug) as suggested & it is working an absolute treat. We have a cat again! Many Thanks.

Client Craig Harwood, Cat ‘Leo’
All redness and swelling has disappeared from 'Ruby's paws since I used this new spray just over one month ago, I was convinced infection would return after antibiotics left her system, but all good so far.

Client: Paul Forrest, elderly, hypothyroid, Miniature Bull Terrier ‘Ruby’ with frustrating recurrent (truly) bacterial pododermatitis, stabilised with addition of Contego Spray 6 weeks before
