Repeated Pet Skin Issues? You Might Be Missing These 3 Key Care Points

I. Root Cause: Pet Skin Is More Fragile Than Human Skin

• Physiological differences: The skin pH of dogs and cats is 6.2-7.4 (5.5 for humans), (alkaline), making them more susceptible to bacterial infections; the epidermis has only 3-5 cell layers (10-15 for humans), with weaker barrier function. A study shows 82% of pet skin problems are linked to "improper care" (source: College of Veterinary Medicine, China Agricultural University).
• Common misconceptions: Frequent use of human body wash (disrupts acid-base balance), unauthorized application of Piyanping (contains hormones that cause skin atrophy), stopping medication after wounds scab (leads to deep infections).

II. Scientific Care in Three Steps: Cleanse + Repair + Protect

1. Infection Stage: Precise Antibacterial Without Irritation

• Correct practice: Rinse wounds with 0.05% chlorhexidine gluconate solution (e.g., Pevet 'CanCleaWound Spray), whose molecular structure penetrates bacterial biofilms to kill 99.9% of Staphylococcus aureus, with a pH of 6.8 compatible with pet skin.
• Pevet product case: Pevet 'VanSknsu Compound Ketoconazole Ointment' contains ketoconazole and metronidazole, acompound formula that combines antifungal, anti-anaerobic, and antipruritic effects. Clinically verified to heal ringworm in cats 50% faster than single antifungal drugs, with added menthol extract to reduce skin irritation during application.

2. Repair Stage: Nutrients Reach the Dermis Layer

• Core ingredient: Zinc Oxide absorbs exudate to form a protective film, while nano-zinc oxide (particle size <50nm) has 3 times the antibacterial activity of ordinary zinc oxide (Pevet R&D data). Pevet 'RasCure Zinc Oxide Ointment' uses a nano-zinc oxide composite formula, which in cases of canine interdigital dermatitis achieves scab shedding in an average of 4 days.

3. Prevention Stage: Build a Skin Immune Barrier

• Internal + external combination: Use pet-specific shampoo for daily care against fungal, mite, and bacterial infections (e.g., Pevet 'Skinext Anti-Infection and Restorative Shampoo'). Administer vitamin supplements (e.g., Pevet 'VitaSup Vitamin B Complex Solution') to provide comprehensive nutritional support, improve coat health, and enhance skin barrier function.
• Tips: Pet skin is composed of tightly packed flat cells. The cell membrane is a strong protective film of proteins and fats. Without sufficient nutrients, the membrane weakens, allowing water loss and easier entry of bacteria/viruses, leading to skin diseases.

III. Pevet Special Reminder: Seek Veterinary Care for These 3 Conditions 

1. Large-area hair loss + pigmentation (possible hypothyroidism);
2. Wound exudate is yellow-green and foul-smelling (indicates drug-resistant bacterial infection);
3. Pet frequently chews the same area, even showing self-harm behavior (psychological skin disease needsevaluation).
