The new products, an Antiseptic Balm and a Soothing Skin Balm for dogs, cats and small animals, expand on the success of Johnson’s existing Paw & Nose Balm for dogs, which launched last year, creating a trio of all natural and vegan friendly balms, that deliver a wide range of important healthcare benefits from soothing irritated skin to treating minor cuts and abrasions.
Used for calming insect bites and maintaining healthy skin, the Soothing Skin Balm benefits from a range of natural ingredients and anti-bacterial properties, making it a suitable choice for dogs, cats and small animals over 12 weeks old.
Meanwhile, the Antiseptic Balm is infused with English lavender and lemon blossom, giving it a wonderfully fresh scent that ensures beloved pets receive the pampered treatment they deserve.
Paul Gwynn, Managing Director at Johnson’s Veterinary Products, commented:
“As we enter into Spring and welcome the arrival of warmer weather, there will undoubtedly be more opportunities for our four-legged friends to venture outdoors and explore, whether that be through walks over the park or nosing around the garden. Unfortunately, there will also be an increased chance of insects and bugs latching onto their fur, which can lead to skin irritation via bites and scratches.
“With this in mind, owners must exercise caution when caring for their pets, ensuring steps are taken to protect their skin from irritation and possible infection. Fortunately, these three balms will guarantee that pets are properly protected from any would-be pests, whilst maintaining healthy skin and fur throughout the Spring and Summer months.
“We received such positive feedback following on from the launch of the Paw & Nose Balm in 2023, and certainly recognised there was a customer want and need for wellbeing products that are natural, gentle and kind, smell and look great, and importantly, are affordable.
“As the cost-of-living crisis continues to place strain on people, we understand that the concept of pampering pets might be taking a back seat for many. But this trio of products offer an indulgent feel at a cost -effective price point, making it easier for pet owners to offer their pets a little bit of luxury whilst effectively soothing any discomfort or irritation they might incur.”
The branding on the new balms sees the business’ stylish retro design being bought back to the fore, drawing on Johnson’s rich heritage to appeal to its loyal customer base.
“This is one of many exciting product releases we have planned for this year, so we encourage owners to keep their eyes peeled for more news and updates in the coming months.”
