Natural Dog Company Skin Soother Balm for Dogs – Dog Skin Balm for Dry Winter Skin, Seasonal Sensitivity & Environmental Stress, Dog Moisturizer with Coconut Oil, Calendula & Vitamin E, 4 oz Tin

Our beautiful boy has severe allergies and his skin gets extremely red, itchy and then raw from the irritation and scratching, especially when allergy season is at its worse and he lays in the grass. We don’t want to keep him from doing what he loves and living his best life so I researched lotions, creams, ointments and balms for dogs and this is by far THE BEST one I found!! Most of the others either weren’t natural, or if they were, it wasn’t safe for dogs to lick the product. How frustrating would that be?! This one checked off all the boxes! All-natural ingredients, made here in America by a trusted company and it’s safe if the dog licks it (and what dog isn’t going to try licking it?) He doesn’t like to be touched or fooled with unless he’s being pet or player with, so that presented a challenge. But, we just followed the suggestion that came with the product of putting a treat in front of him to distract him. We put a bowl of peanut butter down in front of him and wow! I could have been cutting his leg off and I don’t think he would have noticed, lol! (Not that I would ever do that, of course. But these days, you sadly need to point out the obvious- and that was obviously a joke!) I was able to get a perfect amount of the balm on his lower belly, groin area and inside his legs (under all 4), and he let me even though the skin in those areas is very tender and sore. With just that ONE application, we noticed a marked difference!! He wasn’t chewing and gnawing at the area incessantly like he had been. In fact, he didn’t pay any attention to it at all, which was a clear indication that he felt a lot better! He licked the balm a bit here and there because I really went crazy slathering it on as quickly as I could everywhere, lol, and I think the greasiness felt a bit odd to him. But nothing to the point of being bothersome to him. He was much more relaxed and at ease since he wasn’t in pain or itchy anymore. He was visibly relieved! Which took a huge weight of worry off of our shoulders. He already has to deal with grand mal seizures after his recent diagnosis of canine epilepsy. This is now one less problem for him and for us to have to worry about. The vet was going to put him on some sort of steroid cream, which would have required he wear a cone of shame (which we’re extremely uncomfortable having him wear when he could possibly have a seizure at any given moment), and an antibiotic, all which would have cost a lot more, including an expensive vet visit. This saved us the trip and expense and it saved him the anxiety of going to the vet and suffering needlessly with the cone and meds he didn’t even need. His skin is healing so nicely now and he still hasn’t been bothered by it at all. The itch was so intense it would make him cry and gnaw at it for hours. What a relief for both him and for us that he’s no longer suffering! I plan to add more as needed but so far, one good coat is all that’s been necessary and it’s been a few days since I applied it. I got the 4 ounce tin so there is plenty left. It’s definitely worth the cost and saves you money in the end by not needing a vet trip or expensive meds (though be sure to consult with your vet about any new rash or skin irritations on your pet. This review does not constitute medical advice for your pet whatsoever). Thank you for creating such a wonderful, effective, safe and natural remedy for our precious pup!

Works like a charm, does what it’s supposed to do while being gentle on your fur babies skin. Rashes usually go way within a day, It provides almost instant burning/itch relief. My fur baby calms down drastically after I put this on her. I’ll massage this onto her chest, belly, paws etc and she will fall into a deep relaxing sleep. She seems to love it and so do I! This needs to be a staple in every pet owner’s home.

Works well on my dogs itching issues. It makes his skin so soft and smells great.

Definitely helps with dogs skin, itching and marks from licking. Highly recommend. Love it.

Worked on my Sharpei's dry crusty nose.

I LOVE this item! I have never seen something that can go on open wounds, but doesn't hurt my dog and if she licks it she won't get sick. The product's smell is pretty intense, but the texture is roughly like coconut oil - hardish until heat touches it - then it smooths out and becomes spreadable. The packaging is understandable, but the lid can be difficult to get off sometimes. However this works perfectly, and every time I run out - I buy a new one. Honestly this is probably the best bang for your buck product this company has, its $30 but also lasted me like a year and half. I put it on cuts, heat rashes, raw areas, bruises or sore spots on paws. My dogs hate the smell, so do I, but they don't mind licking it off, so it must taste okay - though that isn't what its' for lol

This product is great. We used for my pitbulls sensitive skin in the winter. It cleared up in 3 days. The product is pleasantly fragranced.

Update: Found another balm that doesn’t stress my dog out—iheartdogs honey stick. Finally switching up to something not stressful in scent This is one of the only balms that heals my Dobermans dry patches during the winter and minor scrapes. Especially around the elbow area- the hair actually grows back in whichever place this is located. I wish it didn’t have such a strong aroma- my dog is terrified of this. My dog is aware of where it’s coming from, unlike that video of the other review, however it still causes temporary stress which I mitigate by applying outside or with a high stake treat and immediate exercises. Overall the quality and results outweigh the application process. I’ve also tried the tin before, while it lasts longer, it doesn’t blend as well as the stick- the stick dissolves quickly on the opposite spectrum of that. I have cheap palmers for dogs and that is no where near as moisturizing as this product. This will still be my go-to product until I can find something unscented that works the same. I think the frankincense and myrrh smells too intense. My dog agrees.
