Dog Acne

What is the best thing to use on acne on dogs Stars chin is spotty at the moment and it looks sore. I have been putting savlon on it. Anything else I can use or any tips that will prevent it

I already use stainless steel bowls for feeding and water.

Oh no, that's not acne, that's a chin boil. Most bull type breeds get them at some time or other. The Presa that I watched used to get those from time to time, and I would use Meleleuca Oil on it. Cleared it up in a day.

Carole,
Melaleuca is another name for Tea Tree (native Australian plant). Tea Tree Oil is a powerful antiseptic.

You can also use calendula (herb) whci you can make up as a tea. Soak a cottonwool ball and hold it to the infected area. Should clear up in no time.

Hi Staffy

Whereabouts can I buy calendula. Is it powder or capsule form. All these remedies are brilliant. Thanks all
