"Bought this for a hotspot on my Husky that he got from being shaved for surgery. It seems to help relieve the itch and keep him from going at it for a bit. My vet specifically recommended this because it is not oil based and so far it has not made anything worse (only better) so that is a win!"

— Chrissy

"I don't understand why the back of the packaging shows information for a product in regards to a person, and not an animal. Is this even safe to use on my cat? I have no idea"

Bottom Line

If you are looking for a topical cream to relieve your pet skin issues, this product might be a good choice. However, it is advisable to ensure and double-check the usage with a local vet.
