How to Uses Booboo Butter on Your Dog
Using Booboo Butter is simple. Start with clean, dry skin. Scoop a small amount of balm with your finger and gently apply it to the affected area. Massage lightly to help absorption. For best results, apply 1–3 times daily as needed. Avoid contact with eyes, nose, and mouth. If your dog licks the balm, it is generally safe in small amounts, but we recommend distracting them until it absorbs. The balm comes in a convenient 227 g (8 oz) tin, and smaller sizes are also available for travel or trial.
