Do you worry about them licking it and ingesting it? I have a male, now almost 10, who as a puppy had rather large testicles (!!!!!). So before his furnishings came in he was chafing. Poor thing...honestly, this was awful. It would just break you heart...(I tried everything and finally what worked was soaking him, laying down, 2x a day in Aveno in the garden tub.) I must have read the back of ever one of "those" spray cans standing in Rite Aide and they all warned about ingesting contents, and you just know this boy would have licked and licked...and in the end I didn't buy any of them. I often wonder what the clerks thought about my fascination w/ the products on the male personal care shelves, <G> but I think I've gotten to the place where I just don't embarrass anymore:)))) Kathy, member GSDCA, DVGSDC Celebrating generations of Dual Titled TC'd Champions visit _http://www.pinehillgsds.com/_ (http://www.pinehillgsds.com/) In a message dated 4/16/2011 9:03:35 P.M.

In my opinion it is better than an oral preparation anytime!!
