Minor injuries in pets

Both dogs and cats often fall victim to minor cuts, scrapes, bites and stings- especially those with outdoor lifestyles and adventurous natures! Cuts and scrapes, abrasions, insect bites, fights with other animals - all can result in a miserable pet with consequent risk of infection. Like people, animals can also suffer from allergies and reactions to plants like Poison Ivy and Poison Oak.

Most of these little injuries heal fairly quickly on their own and without long-term adverse effects, especially in healthy pets with strong immune systems. However, the immediate pain, discomfort and Swelling can be unpleasant and debilitating for your pet and it is important to care for these wounds appropriately. Also, there may be a high risk of infection in otherwise minor wounds if they are not properly cared for.

How can Natural Remedies help?

Because of the risk of infection, pet wounds are often treated with antibiotics - taken internally or applied as a cream to the skin. They may also be treated with topical corticosteroid creams. While these can be effective in the short term, many holistic vets believe that they may also compromise your pet’s health by affecting Immune Functioning.

Topical antibiotic, corticosteroid and antiseptic creams are also often licked off by pets and can contain substances that may not be good for them to ingest.

Certain Herbs and homeopathic ingredients are excellent for soothing pain and reducing Swelling of wounds, bites, insect stings and other minor injuries and skin allergies. Gentle promotion of natural healing, as well as prevention of infection- without antibiotics- has been practiced by herbalists for thousands of years and can be of great benefit to your pet.

How has PetAlive Wound Dr. helped others?

“My little Jack Russell, Smokey, is always getting cut and scraped running through bushes etc. in our yard. He has a very energetic and adventurous personality which I love but he certainly pays the price with all his injuries. Your PetAlive Wound Dr. has become a standard in our medicine cabinet as it always helps Smokey’s cuts and injuries to heal faster and seems to help with the pain and Swelling too. Thought I’d let you know how much we love your product. ” - J Genevieve

“I bought Wound Dr. for my new puppies who were a bit rough with each other and didn’t always know their own strength. It was great for soothing cuts and scratches from their rough and tumble games. Yesterday one of them was stung by a bee on the nose and was clearly in a lot of pain. A dab of Wound Dr. calmed the redness and swelling and Sammy’s crying stopped within minutes! We love this cream- thank you!” - Casey D.

How do I use Wound Dr.?

Wound Dr. cream comes in a 25 ml tube.

Directions: After cleansing, apply to affected area three times daily. Cleansing with PetAlive Clenzor is recommended.

Note: For external use only. Please consult your veterinarian should symptoms persist. May be used together with PetAlive Immunity and Liver Support for natural antibiotic action.

Caution: In the case of insect stings or contact with poison ivy, please seek medical treatment if there is any swelling of the mouth or tongue or if your pet appears to have any difficulty breathing.

How long until I see results?

Soothing effects will be immediate. With regular use over several days, condition of the skin will improve and healing of the wound will take place. Try and begin treating your pet as soon as possible as the sooner that cleansing and treatment begin, the quicker and more effective the healing process will be.
