We have a old english bulldog who suffers from a itchy patch on the rear of one of her ears which she will scratch,we have brought different recommend items from the pet shop and vets but nothing has really stopped her scratching resulting in a area with very little fur which looks painful. So I have used this once a day for a week and it has finally stopped her scratching and her fur has nearly grown back 10 days later, I have used it on her face to as she does have sensitive skin and this has stopped her scratching. It does smell nice and is easy to apply and does not leave her fur feeling greasy unlike other items we have used, I would highly recommend giving this a try if you dog has itchy or sensitive skin.

My ten year old dog has developed a yeast infection on her skin with dark crusty patches, she is having weekly baths with a product the vet gave me but has now developed sores between her toes, I am hoping this balm will stop it getting any worse. It's easy to apply and after using it a few times it seems to be having an effect but I'm covering it as she's licking her feet.

If you didn't read the label before using you would have assumed you have some lip balm and have used it on yourself. This is a balm designed to prevent itching in dogs. My sheltie appears to have a grass allergy, so everytime he goes outside he comes in with little read spots on his belly. He constantly scratches until he bleeds, so I thought this would be worth a try. It has the same texture as petroleum jelly. Easy to apply and seemed to ease him until he went out again. Will continue to use to see the difference.Of course, I do like to try anything I use on the dog on myself first. I mean if it stings me, what is it doing to the dog. I suffer from flaky psoriasis on the elbows , I placed a bit of balm on it and to my surprise it wasn't so flaky and didn't itch anymore, so I can only hope it has the same affect on my dogs. It covers a variety of issues so a good thing to keep in your doggy first aid kit. 5*
