Itching or Irritated Skin after Flea Treatment (Cat)Updated 7 days ago
Soothe your cat’s skin when the treatment works – and irritates. 💚
After flea treatments, some cats experience mild skin irritation or itching, especially around the neck. This is common and usually temporary. Doderm helps calm and protect the skin naturally.
How to recognise irritation
Redness or dryness where the Spot-on was applied
Scratching or rubbing the neck
Flakes or small scabs
Mild sensitivity to touch
The irritation is often caused by alcohol or carrier substances in the product, not by the active ingredient itself.
Step by step: How to care for the skin
1️⃣ Wait until the Spot-on is fully absorbed – usually 24 hours.
2️⃣ Apply Hydro RepairGel Pet
A small amount gently massaged in will calm and hydrate the skin.
3️⃣ For stronger redness or itching:
Use SOS Hydro RepairGel for 1–2 days, then continue with Hydro RepairGel Pet.
4️⃣ Apply 1–2× daily until the skin looks calm and smooth.

Gentle & safe: Alcohol- and fragrance-free.
Hydrating: Hyaluronic acid restores moisture.
Soothing: Natural actives calm itching & redness.
Compatible: Can be used without affecting flea treatment.
💚 Result: Calm, hydrated skin and a relaxed cat again.
