Hi, can this be used, and if so, would it be effective for my dog who has chronic yeast infection on his chest and stomach area? thank you in advance

Absolutely no improvement

After applying Blue Butter several times each day, I saw no benefits. He would lick it off as quickly as I applied it.

Our pup has suffered from itchy skin every summer . We have tried many things but recently read about Blue Butter. Saw the good reviews and decided to try it. It’s Amazing , started working right away for itch and after a week or so we are noticing fur growing back as well. It’s a big jar for the money so lasts a month or two with 2 applications a day . Our dog is 45 pounds for perspective . It can be used for minor wounds as well . Definitely recommend .

Seems to cool itching quickly!

The smell of this gel is camphorated menthol that is very strong indeed. However, the benefits far outweigh the stench. I enjoy that smell when I’m congested,

The smell of this gel is camphorated menthol that is very strong indeed. However, the benefits far outweigh the stench. I enjoy that smell when I’m congested, it clears up my sinuses, so I’m going to enjoy that smell now as it heals my precious but overly precocious kitty, Penny! I used a soft cone that looked like a slice of an orange, to protect the spots from being licked. Because, that’s what cats do. Unfortunately, my sweet girl figured out how to double cross me. She managed to get that cone off of her and hid it where I can’t find it, but by that time, the medication had worked its magic. Minutes only to afford her the relief she so desperately needed. So Yes, it stinks. But in an exceptionally great way. When you can’t take the smell of this blue gunk, just think of what you might put on your knees or joints to kill the pain of arthritis. You’d help yourselves wouldn’t you, despite the stench. Well. That’s what you’ll now do for your fur baby. Also, I used gloves to put it on. That protected me from the smell and any ill effects it would have on me. But definitely give Forticept Blue Butter Antimicrobial Gel a try for your kitty’s hot spots. It might be the one thing that saves them from harm as well as saving you a big vet bill. Oh, and my sweet Penny still loves me, even though she looked like she wanted to kill me in this photo.

It works super fast

This Forticept Blue ‘butter’ salve has helped our sweet German Shepherd girl deal with her itchy face. I can tell she feels the relief because she doesn’t tuck her

This Forticept Blue ‘butter’ salve has helped our sweet German Shepherd girl deal with her itchy face. I can tell she feels the relief because she doesn’t tuck her head under to try to keep me from putting it on her. She just sits there and then walks off when I release her. The sprays or ointments I have used in the past really annoyed her. Thank you for a great product.

This is AMAZING

Every single time I have used it within hours the redness on my dog’s skin is gone. If the skin is broken by the next day at the very latest it’s greatly improved

Every single time I have used it within hours the redness on my dog’s skin is gone. If the skin is broken by the next day at the very latest it’s greatly improved. They have never gone back to a spot where I’ve used this. POV all my dogs have terrible allergies !!!!!!

He doesn't hate it...

I haven't used it much. My cat has a sore he continuously licks at the base of his tail and short of the Cone of Shame, there's no stopping him. This doesn't seem

I haven't used it much. My cat has a sore he continuously licks at the base of his tail and short of the Cone of Shame, there's no stopping him. This doesn't seem to bother him much. It is a bit more liquid-y than I'd like. More like a cream than a butter (barrier). But it doesn't seem to hurt him when I put it on his raw little spot. And that is a good thing.

Wow!

I was sceptical, but this product really works well. Our older cat has developed seasonal allergies. It only last 2 months, but during that time he scratches surface

I was sceptical, but this product really works well. Our older cat has developed seasonal allergies. It only last 2 months, but during that time he scratches surface wounds that I monitor for infection. The Blue Butter not only gave him some relief (I think it has cooling properties), but the wounds started healing quickly.

Perfect for small wounds

Pup had a cyst pop up on one of his paws. This was shortly after he had a toe amputation. We would apply a little of the gel after he went outside, kept it clean

Pup had a cyst pop up on one of his paws. This was shortly after he had a toe amputation. We would apply a little of the gel after he went outside, kept it clean. Both the incision & cyst healed up perfectly.
