"It’s great for a quick touch up for smelly beards and dirty paws. I like how it applies easily and doesn’t leave a sticky feeling behind."

"Used this for years on stinky dog fur between baths. But am now learning that oatmeal feeds yeast/fungal infections?B/c I kept smelling the pee I would reuse more and more, but to no avail. So it's a yes for mildly dirty dog fur and a hard NO on kitty pee smelling fur."
