I have been using EEO's calendula oil on my hound dog since May 2016 and have seen great results. My dog was diagnosed at the vet clinic with skin allergies and bacterial yeast infection in his ears. The medication they prescribed was very harsh for him and unsafe around children or even to handle without gloves! Also it was very expensive. After learning about the fungus-fighting benefits of calendula oil from my holistic dog book I tried EEO's extract. It has helped to reduce the irritation from scratching and then healed the skin in and around the ears. I use a dilute vinegar rinse about 2-3 times per week then the oil, and anytime he's excessively itchy. My dog runs to me to put it on, he loves it! I also love it because it is so versatile (as are many of EEO's other extracts) and I use it for the rest of my family in our daily moisturizer.
