We use shea butter for our pets' skin irritations. Since Munchie just had nine pups nearly 7 weeks ago, her noonies are sore and getting scratched up. Every so often, now, the babies want to nurse and with their teeth and nails. they beat her up! My husband always sends her to the farm wife for 'Munchie Spa Treatments". She LOVEs when I massage her. She also has a red nose (being a red Aussie) and we apply/massage it on there as well. Any kind of cuts, we break out the shea! If you have any on hand, it's great. If you don't...hmmmmm!! I know where to get some!

I have to add a few things to these testimonials. My partner works with wood and all kinds of stuff that leave his hands dry and chapped. He also gets splits on his fingertips (ouch!) I hassled him until he started using the Shea Butter on his hands every night - he rubs a little extra on his fingertips. The splits are healed. It didn't happen overnight, but it does work.
Also, 3 weeks ago I brought home a dog from the Humane Society to foster him until he was healthy - he told me to, what can I say?!! Anyway, he had a bad case of kennel cough and needed to be out of the kennels. Because of the kennel cough, his poor little nose was dried out and crusty (yucky, I know) so I started rubbing a little shea butter on it every night. Now his nose is as soft and clear as it should be. And the end of the story is that we adopted him so he is very happy to be part of our family along with Peanut, our Queensland Heeler, Eddy, and Schmoozie (our two cats). Oh, and my partner, too!!

What pleases me most, you guys, is that people (and puppies!) are being helped! The money is extra...and sadly things cost money. Doctors have to charge, right?? And those who pay WAY more than we charge really don't have to be charged that much. But in all honestly, we get SO many wonderful healing testimonies both locally AND thru the internet. Return customers have now become friends, complete with HUGS and now family stories! It's such wonderful "food for the skin". God blessed us with this "Tree of Life" (aka Karite Tree) nutty extract. And Yonuh...BRAVO for the new puppy for both a new home AND shea butter his momma gave him! Archie is looking down from the Rainbow Bridge and smiling a great BIG doggie smile! (what's the new pup's name? They are just so irresistable, aren't they??)
