The balms I received don't have as strong a scent as they used to and are harder..not as soft to apply as they once were

Another great option - I use the oil and the salve together. I find the oil a little more potent than the salve, and it has an easier time of absorbing into the skin in areas where my dog's fur is thicker. (See my comment under the salve version for how I use it for my dog's yeast and bacterial skin infections). Great stuff! I'm so grateful to have found these products, they're the only thing that have helped my dog find any relief in years of struggling to solve his chronic inflammation issues.

I honestly can't say enough good things about this product! My dog has severe chronic inflammation which causes constant yeast and bacterial infections all over this legs, feet and chest. This is the only thing I have found in years of searching that helps alleviate it and reduces the infections. I rub it into his skin anywhere there are crusty scabs, and it removes them. I've tried everything under the sun to give him relief, but the only other option would be constant antibiotics and antifungal medications, which destroy his microbiome and create a nasty loop of recurring infections. I now give this stuff as gifts to everyone I can think of - it should be in everyone's medicine kit imo!
