Yeah mine too! When I use the solid version in winter I always boil the kettle and pour a bit of hot water into the tub so it melts the top layer and makes it easy to apply. I think that's going to work better that using the liquid version ATM as I can hardly gouge it out onto the brush to apply it this morning. Ah the joys of winter, eh
My tip for KB users: don't leave tub open when there is a Labrador around . .
Don't know what it's made of but I suspect animal fat, given mine ate half a tub and then threw most of it up in the house . . now kept under surveillance at all times.
I always use it, last summer one of the yard terriers was very bravely licking it of the hoofs!! Agreed, it is a pain when it is freezing I bring mine home with me in the evenings.
