Animal Scents Ointment is a suitable option for pet owners looking for a topical product formulated with botanical ingredients for the general skin care of their animals. It is versatile and can be used on different species, including:

• Dogs of all breeds and sizes: Especially useful for dry paw pads or areas that require extra attention.
• Cats: Although cats are sensitive to certain oils, this ointment is formulated for use on them, always with moderation and supervision in mind.
• Horses: Can be applied to friction areas or where the skin needs extra moisturization.
• Other domestic pets: Usable with caution and prior knowledge of each animal's specific needs.

Suggested Application Method

Application of Animal Scents Ointment should be done gently and attentively. Make sure the area is clean before applying the product.

• Prior cleaning: Before applying the ointment, gently clean the affected area with warm water and mild soap if necessary, and dry thoroughly.
• Even application: Take a small amount of ointment with clean fingers and apply it directly to the animal's skin, covering the desired area.
• Gentle massage: Delicately massage the ointment into the skin to facilitate its absorption. This can also be a calming moment for your pet.
• Frequency: Can be applied 1 to 3 times a day, as needed. Observe your pet's reaction and adjust the frequency.
• Prevent licking: If possible, distract your pet for a few minutes after application to prevent them from immediately licking the ointment. Although formulated with natural ingredients, it is preferable for the product to act on the skin.

It is always advisable to perform a patch test on a small area of the skin before general application to ensure there is no sensitivity.

Precautions and Important Observations
