Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What skin conditions can this ointment treat in dogs?

Ans: It is formulated to treat demodectic and follicular mange caused by mites, as well as other non-specific skin irritations. It soothes itching, supports skin healing, and is a gentler alternative to chemical dips for affected dogs.

Q2: How often should the ointment be applied to a dog's skin?

Ans: The manufacturer recommends applying it once every 24 hours directly to the affected area. Rub it in thoroughly until fully absorbed. Prolonged use may be necessary for persistent skin irritations, as directed by a veterinarian.

Q3: What is benzocaine, and how does it help dogs?

Ans: Benzocaine is a topical anesthetic that numbs the affected skin area to relieve itching and pain. In Goodwinol Ointment, it makes up 2.05% of the formula and works quickly to relieve discomfort from mange and skin irritation.

Q4: Is the ointment safe if a dog licks it after application?
