"This product worked well on our Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua mix with itchy skin areas. The Hydrogel did not irritate her skin at all. We also used it on our senior cat, Six with good results. The thin areas he had been licking have already started to fill back in. He did not mind the application."

"My dog had a hot spot thanks to a couple of fleas. It seems to have helped him with the spot but he hates having it applied. It’s a very watery consistency as well. If you don’t rub it in quick it falls right off."

Bottom Line

This product is recommended for minor wounds and does a good job of soothing the affected areas. Just be prepared for frequent applications and a potential reaction from your pet to the scent.
