How to Apply This Herbal Balm to Your Dog
Applying the balm is straightforward. For best results:
- Rub a small amount between your fingers to soften it.
- Gently massage into the affected area, avoiding eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Uses 1–3 times daily as needed, or follow your vet’s advice.
- For larger areas, slightly warm the tin to make spreading easier.

What Is an Herbal Dog Balm?
An herbal dog balm is a topical preparation designed to support skin health.
