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.
FANTASTIC find!!! My 11yr old chocolate lab has been suffering from plaque psoriasis secondary to an autoimmune condition which took 5 months and 4 vets to diagnose. She has had little to no relief from the itching until now. I can't thank you enough. I only wish it came in a larger tube. With nine large spots to treat, I'm going through the small tube quickly.
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!
Great stuff
Lavengel has been such a wonderful find for us. Our 13 year old dog gets lots of skin problems and he used to lick them into major problems where we would have to put him into an e-collar to heal. Your gel soothes him. He's also a bit put off by the strong lave scent so he avoids licking. Thanks! Amazing product!
Works great as advertised.
