On telling it apart from an infection

This is for calming irritated skin generally — Johnson's don't name specific causes it addresses, so it isn't the right product for a hot spot that's already broken the skin, is weeping, or smells unpleasant, all of which point to something a vet needs to look at rather than a soothing balm.

Why we chose it

It sits in the same range as Johnson's antiseptic balm but does a genuinely different job — calming irritation rather than treating a wound — and it's easy to grab the wrong one if you're not paying attention to the name. Vegan friendly is stated plainly rather than assumed.

— Matt, founder

Size guide & how to measure

Pet coats and jumpers are sized mainly by back length, with chest girth as a second check. Back length matters most for coverage.

How to measure

Back length: measure along the spine from the base of the neck (collar area) to the base of the tail.
Chest: measure around the widest part of the ribcage, behind the front legs.
If the two measurements suggest different sizes, choose by back length and allow for the chest.

Size	Typical back length	Typical chest
XS	20–25 cm	30–40 cm
S	25–32 cm	38–50 cm
M	32–40 cm	48–62 cm
L	40–50 cm	60–76 cm
XL	50–60 cm	74–92 cm

Ranges are approximate and vary by style. Always check this product’s Specifications for its exact measurements.

Full description

Itchy or inflamed skin has a way of getting worse before it gets better, mostly because a pet that's scratching one patch keeps scratching it, which turns a small irritation into a sore one within a day or two if nothing interrupts the cycle.

Johnson's describe this balm as natural and vegan friendly, aimed at helping to calm and soothe irritated, inflamed, dry and itchy skin, for dogs, cats and other small animals. It comes in a 45g tub — the same format as their antiseptic balm, but formulated for calming skin rather than treating a cut.

Who it's for: owners of a dog, cat or small pet with skin that flares up dry, itchy or irritated from time to time, wanting a natural option to calm it down.
