Ever wondered why your pet shakes its head? 🐶🐱
Here are a few reasons why that might be happening:
Itchiness or Irritation: One of the most common reasons for head shaking is discomfort in the ears. Your pet might be trying to alleviate the itchiness caused by ear mites, allergies, or ear infections.
Excess Moisture: If your pet loves water activities, excess moisture in the ears can lead to discomfort and prompt head shaking to clear it out.
Debris or Foreign Objects: Sometimes, debris or foreign objects can get into your pet's ears, causing irritation and making them shake their head.
Otitis Externa: This fancy term means inflammation of the external ear canal, often caused by bacterial or yeast infections. Head shaking is a common symptom.
Allergic Reactions: Pets, like us, can have allergic reactions to environmental factors or food, leading to itchiness in their ears and subsequent head shaking.
Breed Predispositions: Some breeds are more prone to ear issues due to their ear shape or size. Floppy-eared breeds like Cocker Spaniels or Basset Hounds may be more susceptible to ear infections.
If you notice your pet shaking their head frequently or showing other signs of discomfort, it's essential to have their ears checked by a veterinarian. They can identify any underlying issues and recommend the appropriate treatment.
Let’s keep those ears happy and healthy for many headshake-free days ahead! 🐾👂💕

Is your dog scratching and itching more than usual ? It might be caused by seasonal allergies that come with springtime.
These allergies come from all the pollen, spores, grass seeds and dust that’s flying around during spring. As it can become uncomfortable for your pet, it is important to identify the signs of seasonal allergies and treat them properly. Among the symptoms you can look out for, you can find skin irritation (it can lead to chewing of the skin; rubbing against furniture, inflamed skin), hair loss as they will scratch and lick their skin way too much, red sores due to infections, ear infections, runny nose and watery eyes.
By giving a bath to your pet regularly, you can help them get rid of the pollen, dust, spores and seeds. DOUXO® S3 CALM products (Shampoo, Mousse, Pads) can help your pet soothing their inflamed and itchy skin.
