I went to CVS today, actually I went to a different store that I normally don't go to. I went in to pick up Stridex pads. I couldn't find them and asked the clerk there where they were located in the store. The guy tried to talk me into some other CVS brand skin care and I said no. He continued to try to talk me into getting their brand and when I finally told him....NO Thank you...this is for my dog! He looked at me and kept shaking his head....then he told me..."You know these are not for dogs"...This is what my vet recommended that I use instead of Malacetic wipes. My vet told me a long time ago that Stridex would do the exact same thing, but it was cheaper. He also told me that if her wrinkles got irritated that I should use burn creme. My last bulldog lived to be 16, and he never had any problems. Bertie is 6 month and so far so good there too!

So what did you tell the clerk?

And my vet recommends the same thing as well. He said if it's raw to use off brand cuz it's not as powerful as name brands tho.

I don't find that strange at all. Not very many people would do for their dogs what us Bullies owners do for ours. I find ,though, that teaching people about this instead of getting upset makes me feel better... even if the person I'm teaching about could care less.
