CHETRA CHAUHAN –
Our veterinarian recommended this product, but the only place we could find it was through pawxie. This spray arrived quickly and performed admirably. We sprayed our kitten a few times a day, and while it didn’t cure her problem, it did reduce her scratching and misery until we were able to get her over the virus.
