Your Curly-Coated Retriever is probably an on-the-go dog...one of those who plays until they fall out from exhaustion or who runs beside you in the field all day long. Plus, if your Curly Coat participates in trials or field work they are gonna get into stickers, brush and bramble. All of that activity equals scratches, scrapes, and such. Boo Boo Butter was created for just such minor skin vexations that need attention but aren't an emergency.
