Watch out for allergic reactions
Considering that you will be applying A & D ointment directly onto your pup’s skin, there’s a chance that your dog could develop an allergic reaction.
We recommend administering a small patch test first.
Pick a small area of your dog’s skin and apply a tiny dab of the ointment then closely monitor the area to see if he develops mild rash, redness, or hives.
