Still thinking about whether Lavengel® is worth the treat money? See what others have tried it on and reported back!
I was desperate to find a ointment to help treat/manage my Siberian Huskies itchy sores he develops from seasonal allergies. I really didn't want to go back to steroids from the vet. I saw this stuff on Amazon when I searched for antimicrobial cream for dogs.
This is the only product I could find that contained no crazy chemicals or additives. It is just simple Lavender, vitamins, and zinc. Also the only ointment I could find without scary reviews about dogs getting worse due to adverse reactions.
So those two reasons along. Drove me to purchase a tube and see how it would work on my sweet boy.
It took about 5 days of applying the ointment 3 times a day. But his chin (where he was really broken out) is now nearly completely healed. He no longer rubs his chin or face.
Oh and the best part. The ointment really seems to sooth on contact. I can literally feel him relax into it when I apply it to his chin. Which is a big deal. So many other dog skin products contact strong almost burning menthol additives to their product. And that stuff drives my dog. He will try to rub off overly strong/irritating medicine.
But after I apply Lavengel. He simply relaxes and leaves his medicated area alone.
I plan to ALWAYS keep Lavengel in my medicine cabinet for my dogs. To help us get through itchy allergy season. And just in case anyone ends up with a wound that needs treating.
My dog has HORRIBLE skin. Many growths that docs say are probably benign but scabs that would NEVER go away in her neck/chest area and under her arms. I've seen countless docs and been prescribed countless shampoos from Sulfur 8 to prescription shampoos. No beef or chicken. Now shes eating prescription alligator by Blue Buffalo. NOTHING got rid of the scabs. I used this stuff ONE TIME and I could see the scabs coming off and her skin healing. After a week her skin is 95% healed. If this stuff works for your dog I can't imagine the complaints about the price. I pay almost this much for a meal at Popeyes, and you better not go to Panera Bread or Chick Fil-a or Sardi's. Not sure if I need to continue to use this after she's all healed up but we'll definite ALWAYS have this on hand.
My rescue English Bulldog, Walter, is the love of my life, but given his breed in general and then very irresponsible breeding on top of that, he has many, many health issues, including allergies to many types of food and various environments. His allergy-related flare-ups always result in skin rashes, loss of fur, and dermatitis. While the vet prescribes him antibiotics to help, he is still very uncomfortable with the rashes, and his fur often takes very long to grow back. We gave lavengel a shot because we figured we had nothing to lose, and we were truly AMAZED. The lavender seemed to have soothed his discomfort, and unexpectedly but amazingly helped his patches of missing fur grow back in literally a week. We are loyal customers forever!
The Lavengel ointment has been a serious lifesaver for my dear dog, Bentley. He is a 'bulladore' (a mix of Lab and American Bulldog). As such, he has a white coat with a pink belly and lot's of freckles. He's quite adorable! One month ago, he was stung by a wasp under his arm. We only discovered the sting because he started scratching the area and it started to bleed, and then his under arm became quite raw and soon after, the open sores from scratching, became little bumps that got infected. The vet wanted to put him on antibiotics and a series of other treatments, but we decided to try the Lavengel first, and if it was ineffective, then we'd go with the vet's treatment recommendations. I'm happy to report that after just three weeks of twice-daily application of the Lavengel ointment, his underarm has cleared up, and is almost healed completely. Some of the bumps were bigger than pea size, but the gel reduced them to almost nothing within several days. I highly recommend Lavengel. BTW, I never did take Bentley back to the vet for further treatment. Thank you so much, Lavengel, for such an effective, cutting-edge, natural healing alternative for all things bites, scratches, abrasions, and assorted other skin irritations!
This product worked great to help heal my dogs injuries due to their allergies. Would recommend this to dog lovers!
We love Lavengel! It soothes and stops my dog from excessive licking on hotspots.
