"Daisy Mae has bad allergies and gets severe hot spots and bumps. This heals and soothes. Best one that helps I have found. And I have tried many many brands. A little pricey for the ounces especially if your dog isn't little . But it does work."

— Lisa

"She licks off the lotion so it is ineffective"

Bottom Line

I would recommend this product but strictly for smaller dogs and short term use due to its price and effectiveness.
