Not greasy and really easy to use and my kids love it. They used to always complain about sprays and lotions getting into their eyes and always thrashed about when I tried to spread it on their face. This is a great alternative that I cannot recommend highly enough. If you can’t find it in your local pharmacy, you can order it online.

I have 3 dogs and 1 cat. I have been told a lot of kennels are not licensed so want to be sure my pets are going to be happy and safe. Any recommendations would be extremely appreciated. Many thanks." Boy! Did we get a lot of answers for this one. Take a look at the Dog and Cat Kennel page to find them all in case you are looking for a kennel in this area too. We also have loads of recommendations for kennels in the Estepona/Marbella area. We certainly love our animals!
