Finally, relief!
I had tried several pet store solutions to help my sensitive skin dog stop scratching or biting and areas that were irritating her. Ou vet recommend this product and it worked! The dog had mild relief after 3 applications, and full relief after 3 days. I keep it on had for when she is exposed to an allergic that causes the scratching to begin, and it usually takes just a few applications for things to calm down again.
This bottle is 2x the size of what I purchased through the vet, and only $3 more. Great value!

Great Product
From Albany, ORComments about Betagen Topical SprayMy schauzner has occasional outbreaks of wet dermatitis. I check his body all the time and if I feel a wet spot, I immediately shave the area and apply the Betagen Spray. It provides immediate results and dries the area quickly and prevents further enlargement of the dermatitis. This saves me from having to take hm to my veterinarian every time. Not only cost effective but quick resolution of the problem for my dog. If he develops multiple areas I then contact my vet for antibiotics. -

Great for my Golden's hot spots
From Jupiter, FloridaComments about Betagen Topical SprayMy Golden Retriever mix suffers from allergies. He will obsessively scratch or chew his skin until he creates a raw "hot spot." If I spray a little Betagen Topical Spray on the red area at the first sign of a problem it heals the area very quickly. I think it's terrific and VetRxDirect has a terrific price. -

If ingestion should occur, patients should be closely observed for the usual signs of adrenocortical overdose which include sodium retention, potassium loss, fluid retention, weight gains, polydipsia, and/or polyuria.
