GhostBuster the Lab Mix Reviews Roxy’s Remedies Pure Relief Spray Gel
My dog constantly battles scaly skin, dandruff, and hotspots -- does Roxy’s Remedies provide the relief it promises?
If I had to describe my dog GhostBuster in three words, those words would be big, itchy, and itchy. MyLab/Golden mix is basically the poster pup for doggy skin conditions. Beef, chicken, wool, rice, grass clippings, dead leaves — the list of things that make him itch is longer than than this article, and he takes medication twice daily.
This time of year is a double-edged sword for us: A nice layer of snow is currently covering a lot of his outdoor allergens, but the dry winter air has left him with scaly skin, dandruff, and hotspots. I’m always on the hunt for ways to bring my boy some relief, so we were happy to review a new skin product for dogs: Roxy’s Remedies Pure Relief Spray Gel.
This Pure Relief Spray Gel is part of the new Roxy’s Remedies line of natural dog grooming products designed for pups with sensitive skin. The line is named after the CEO’s Australian Cattle dog, Roxy, who inspired the creation of these products and sounds like she has a lot in common with GhostBuster. Just like my boy, Roxy suffers from allergies and has sensitive, itchy skin. Her family sought out natural remedies to soothe her scratching and came up with the four products in the Roxy’s Remedies line: Calming Cleansing Wipes, Soothing Shampoo, Calming Leave-In Conditioner, and the Pure Relief Spray Gel that GhostBuster and I tested.
The starring ingredient in the gel formula is pharmaceutical-grade East Indian sandalwood oil. According to the folks at Roxy’s Remedies, this oil has antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties. They say it’s also known to be well tolerated. In the past, GhostBuster’s skin has reacted positively to essential oils formulated for pets, so I figured he would do well with the sandalwood oil too. This ingredient did not make his skin red or cause any reaction at all. Other ingredients in the spray include oat kernel extract and aloe vera, both known to soothe skin. http://www.dogster.com/lifestyle/gh...-reviews-roxys-remedies-pure-relief-spray-gel
