Dr. Maggie Skin Care Ointment, 30 g
A plant and wax ointment with a clear label but little independent owner feedback.
The short version
- Owners who want a product with a fully listed, short ingredient list
- Dogs and cats with dry noses or rough paw pads
- Homes with both cats and dogs, since the maker lists both
- The pet is pregnant or nursing, which the maker says to avoid
- A skin problem is spreading or not improving, which calls for a vet visit
- You want a product with independent testing behind it
What owners like
- Reviews on a retailer page report owners satisfied using it on irritated spots and rashes
- Short, plain ingredient list
Common complaints
Based on Product listings at Nature Pet Store, Aviva Health and Livora; only one retailer summarized reviews, so owner themes are limited and no recurring complaints could be confirmed.

What it does
A lanolin and beeswax ointment for dogs and cats, made in Canada, that the maker markets for dry, cracked or irritated skin, paws and noses.
- The maker describes it for hot spots, minor wounds, rashes, dry or cracked skin, paws and noses
- Bitter taste that the maker says is there to discourage licking
- Every ingredient listed, with amounts for the active ones
- Applied by rubbing a small amount onto clean skin
Worth a look for owners who want a plant and wax based ointment with a fully listed formula for rough paws, dry noses and small irritated spots. The trade-off is that independent owner feedback is limited, and the maker says it is not for pregnant or nursing animals.
