Since I had read and heard only good things about the Ballistol Animal Oil, I bought it for our dogs too. What I had not counted on was the extreme, typical Ballistol smell - or should I say stink ??!
But the oil will help our dogs and that's what counts! The dogs are treated in the morning at wide-open window to the oil and can evaporate throughout the day. Now in winter I treat before walking the dog's paws - outside of course - and we have since no longer so that one of the two dogs limping or anknabbert paws after walking problems.
If the extreme smell would not, I would give the means 5 star. So I can unfortunately represent only 3 stars!
