What purpose did you use it for, and did it help? Also, how did your pets react to it? I hear so many, talking about how great this product is, for just about anything, that I'm just trying to get more information on it. I heard you can use it on many things for human or dog ailments!

I've used it for my dog, to help with the itch of bug bites and to help with a cracked pad. I've used it on our cow to help with dry cracked teats, I've used it on a cat when he came home from a fight all scratched up. I've used it on myself to help with chapped hands, face and on minor scraps and abrasions, as well as on insect bites to take the sting and itch out of them. It is great stuff. It is an anticeptic as well as a conditioner. I think one of the main ingredients is lanolyn. Look at the label for a complete list of ingredients. I would recommend it!

Bag Balm is used widely within the animal community. Horse breeders will use it regularly for chapped teats (where the foal suckles), which is it's main use so dog breeders, cat breeders, cattle breeders, they all use it, even some women in the know, for their own chapped nipple problems from nursing babies. You can apply it for any chapped, chafed or irritated skin reason. It's pretty much like chap stick or vaseline for your animal, but with healing meds in it, however I don't believe it's on par with something like Neosporine.
If you're not sure, call your vet and the receptionist should be able to help you without a charge.
Good luck! :)

Oh yes, bag balm is best. We've always used it. Every spring when we would let the cows out we always rubbed it all over their bags so they would not get sunburned. It heals all wounds well. You can put it on your hands at night and cover with an old pair of socks and wash off in the morning.Nothing better for dry cracked hands. It sure has been around forever.Just like Raleigh's red liniment. They're the best!

Bag balm is A-mazing! absolutely fantastic stuff. I suppose you could consider it the Aquaphor of animals (Aquaphor= thick, sticky lotion from Eucerin that works wonders on sore chapped skin.) Originally, bag balm was used for cows' udders. It helped heal any sores or scrapes and soothed the skin. Now, it is used for all sorts of little nicks and scrapes.
At my horse barn, bag balm is one of the most used remedies around. We put it on any little sore spot we find. Often we use it for scratches on the muzzle and saddle sores.
None of the horses has ever had a reaction. I don't believe any animal ever has. Bag balm is very natural.
Hope this helps!

We use bag balm on our rabbits and dogs. Great for the dogs feet in the winter if their pads crack, great for the rabbits hocks if they get sore, perfect for minor skin irritations. I even used it on a snake that got burned on it's heater. Can't stand the smell, but it works so well... heals, protects and moisturizes...

Bag balm works great on horses, dogs, cats, chickens, etc. You can apply it to minor wounds, minor burns, chapped skin, irritated skin, pressure sores, and sunburns. None of my animals have ever had a bad reaction to it.

My dog had the hiccups once, so I blew up a paper bag, snuck up behind him, and smashed it right behind his head....BAMM!! He jumped and ran, but the next time I saw him, he didn't have those hiccups anymore. I use it on my wife and kids, too. Bag Balms are great!
