This balm is amazingly good. I started putting on my 2 small dogs paws twice a day and within a week their paws were soft and moisturized in that short time I felt my hands also becoming softer as well. I suffer with very dry hands. I have tried many creams and prescription ointments but nothing ever worked until I tried Fortunate Paws lol. So I ordered one for me as well. I can see the difference in my skin.
