Alleviated Most Scratching
Been using for a week or so and seems to have alleviated most of the constant scratching. My dog shows no signs of listed side effects even though she licks herself in wet areas sometimes.

Major Veterinary school teaching professor prescribed this spray for my severely allergic "cats". It is working great. Apparently many veterinarian are not aware of using in cats.

My female Golden Retriever has a boatload of environmental allergy issues including dust mites. We have tried everything. She wakes up in the morning scratching so bad she cannot even walk to the door to go potty. I spray Genesis on my hand and rub it in. She stops scratching immediately! Best stuff I have found including homemade recipes. Well worth the money.

Great Product, Works Well
One of my dogs is a Shar Pei/Lab mix. He has terrible allergies. Genesis immediately relieves the itching and biting of his entire body. I've been using Genesis Spray for years.

This made my beagle mix feel so much better. His skin was so raw from scratching and biting so much. Using this twice a day stopped the itching and the whole area by his hind legs and tail were healing and getting hair back.

This product is amazing!
My GWP, 75 lbs and 12 years old developed allergies last year. Her symptoms were extremely itchy skin and crusty spots on her torso. Vet immediately prescribed predisone. Within two weeks of weaning her off the symptoms would return. We went through this 3 times. Then the Vet prescribed the Genesis Topical Spray. It really worked like a miracle! This year she had the itchy symptoms again. I discussed skipping the oral steroids and going straight to the Genesis with my Vet. He said to go ahead and try it. Again, immediate relief for my dog! Just to clarify, My dog has food allergies and environmental allergies, confirmed with blood allergy tests. We regulated her food allergies with a diet change. She had been symptom free until the springtime allergy season. The symptoms of itchy skin she is displaying this year are the environmental allergies. This spray is wonderful! She was so miserable and now has relief!

Works great!
We have a 3 year old English Bulldog and live in AZ. Every summer she struggles greatly. This immediately stopped her itching and cleared up the areas on her that were dry and itchy.
