Vermont's Original Bag Balm Skin Moisturizer, Moisturizing Ointment for Animals, Pets, Livestock, Dry Skin that can Crack Split or Chafe on Paws, Hooves, Udders 8 Ounce Tin Since 1899, Bag Balm has been the farmer's friend, helping keep dairy cows from the harsh environment of Vermont's rugged Northeast Kingdom. It's like having another hand on the farm, or helper around the house. From dry paws and noses to wind-chapped chicken combs and cracked udders, lanolin-enriched Bag Balm works hard to soothe and renew distressed skin wherever it occurs. For use on cows, thoroughly wash treated teats and udder with separate towels before milking. To avoid contamination after each milking, bathe the udder with plenty of hot water, strip milk out, and dry skin. Apply Bag Balm freely and massage gently twice daily. For use on dogs, cats and other pets, apply Bag Balm liberally to paw pads, snouts, hot spots - wherever dry or distressed skin occurs! In case of deep puncture wounds seek medical help. Discontinue use if rash or irritation occurs. The product contains no alcohol. PRO TIP: If your pet likes to lick Bag Balm, you can put booties (or socks) on their paws afterwards to give the salve time to absorb.
