Some remedies stand the test of time for good reason. Penetrene “A” Liniment has been trusted by Australian horse and dog owners since 1947 — a professional-strength topical liniment made with essential oils including menthol, aniseed, and sassafras oil.
Applied directly to joints, muscles, and tendons, Penetrene works where it’s needed — with no effect on internal organs, the gastrointestinal tract, liver, or kidneys. That’s the advantage of a quality liniment: targeted relief, nothing more.
