Anyone used this as a lip balm for their dog?

I haven't but know my dog loves it. My shepherd/lab/husky mix got at it one day and ate about a third of the large jar. No effect other than a little loose stool. Now I don't leave it lying around. It works really well.

I have been using it for at least a couple of years now when I started to notice thinning lips and after not that long I noticed a difference in fullness returning. You have to keep using it though or effect won't stay. And keep it away from dogs- they love to chew it! I think its a fantastic product.

No, it is not. This has no scent and is very thin, just slightly thicker than water. It is great for skin and I use it on my lips, but I'm not sure it works very long as a lip gloss because it is absorbed quickly. I think it would work if you took a lip product and mixed this oil into it. I make my own scented lotions with this and now I think I will try making lip gloss. I'll let you know if it works : )

I have a Labradoodle and I used it on him. However, I was scared to use it around face, groin, and ears. I believe it could do damage for sure if you are not very careful in those areas. That being said I used it along most of the other body and it slices through matted hair like a hot knife through butter!

No, I don't taste any flavor to the lip balm. It just not very moist. Hope this helps.

I just got the stuff and my dog has a large manage sore on his upper lip near his nose. He will lick anything, including this product and bath water. The product is very runny--even with shaking well--and tough to rub into the wound. He does not seem that phased by the wound, but it is extremely challenging to keep moist; saliva exacerbates this issue and it has started to bleed. Cayenne is about the only thing that worked to keep him from digging in the grass, but I would not try that on a sore. You might end up needing to try a muzzle or something like gentle leader for a short period at least while product dries and exhausting your dogs first before putting product on at night.

Hello there! The product has a decidedly peppery smell, very strong. Unless your dog actually came into contact with an amount it could ingest I doubt it would hurt them. If you are spraying it on surfaces where it will evaporate and dry there is no way it will do any harm. Best of luck!

I use it for when i see my dogs doing a un wanted behavior. It works pretty good for my dogs. It dont smell like much to me but my pup hates it n now all i have to do is hold up the bottle and he stops doing the unwanted behavior

Yes - great. Use the long pen-like attachment for my little ankle-biters. Just a note - use only for 2-4 seconds per nail! It gets VERY HOT and the quick reacts badly to the heat. Overall, it's easy, quieter and with time, the dogs are less freaky.

Has anyone tried this to tint lip balm? Does it work? Thanks in advance! :)

Yes! I have used it to make lotion, lotion bars, and lip balm. Love it! It does have a rich chocolate scent that is impossible to cover, so don't try. Use Shea butter instead. But the chocolate scent works really well combined with peppermint or orange. Basic recipe is equal parts butter (Shea or Cocoa) and an oil (coconut, olive) with beeswax (amount determines how firm the product will be). Best way to test a recipe is to start with small amounts, place ingredients in a small jelly jar, and heat in a pan of water until everything melts. Remove from heat, let sit for a few minutes and then stir in essentials oils if using. The jar becomes your storage container, so you don't have any cleanup.

I have seen people use it as breath spray; but I am not sure of the effect it will have on a dog. I would check with your vet for breath solutions.

I have not used this product for lip balm. I believe that, you should be able to do it by weight. Most of the sources that I checked don't really give an amount. It is sort of a trial and error thing. Make sure to allow for significant thickening as it cools. Good luck.....eventually, I do plan to try this.

I haven't, but it works very nice in between the paws, specially after grooming that the skin is so sensitive with from the blades' friction .
