Finally, relief!
I had tried several pet store solutions to help my sensitive skin dog stop scratching or biting and areas that were irritating her. Ou vet recommend this product and it worked! The dog had mild relief after 3 applications, and full relief after 3 days. I keep it on had for when she is exposed to an allergic that causes the scratching to begin, and it usually takes just a few applications for things to calm down again.
This bottle is 2x the size of what I purchased through the vet, and only $3 more. Great value!

Q & A
-
Is it safe for dogs to lick Betagen after usage? I have to apply to the paw..?
-
The manufacturer states, do not allow the animal to lick or chew at affected sites for at least 20 to 30 minutes after application. If ingestion should occur, patients should be closely observed for the usual signs of adrenocortical overdose which include sodium retention, potassium loss, fluid retention, weight gains, polydipsia, and/or polyuria. Prolonged use or overdosage may produce adverse immunosuppressive effects. For further information, please consult with your veterinarian.

My dog has a sore right under his neck. What happens if I get Betagen in my dog's eyes? And what do I do if it does get in his eyes??
-
Aimee, Betagen should be avoided in your pet's eyes. To avoid getting the mist of the drug in the eye, protect the face while you spray the neck. However, if it is accidentally sprayed directly into the eye and signs of irritation and redness are present, please seek attention from your pet's veterinarian. Thank you, VetRxDirect
