Originally designed for horses this firm cream is also great for dogs. I use it on my own dogs to deter fleas, and my customers have told me they've successfully used it for eczema and other skin conditions. Neem oil is a traditional treatment for many skin conditions. It contains 20% neem oil, beeswax, coconut oil and orange and clove essential oils. To use you just apply it along the topline of the dog ( you will need to part the hair for longhaired dogs ), and massage it into the skin. This applicator should last a whole season for an average size dog. You will find the dirt from the coat will stick to your fingers, this is normal just wash your hands. I also have a 75gr applicator, check my other listings. I only treat my dogs monthly in summer, but they would prefer it more often-they love their massage!
