That's why we offer a wide range of bandages and dressings from top brands like Coflex, Kruuse, Vetrap, PetFlex, Tensoplast, and BSN Medical to help you provide effective wound care. It would be wise to use spray plaster in environments with lots of dirt and where a band-aid cannot be effectively applied. A spray plaster is not a medication but belongs in the area of bandages. However, the wound should be small (as the spray plasters do not hold over large areas), not too deep, and you should clean it well beforehand. Otherwise, you will only trap the germs under the plaster.

Reapply the spray on plaster after a few days if it comes off/ Discontinue treatment or speak to a vet if irritation occurs. For more serious wounds or injuries, we also offer Veterinary Wound Powder, which is a fine, absorbent powder that helps to stop bleeding, dry up wounds, and promote healing. Spray on plaster wound protection is mainly used for dogs and cats. However, you can also use it to protect wounds from flies on grazing animals.

They come in a range of colours and sizes, making it easy to find the perfect bandage for your dog. Skin tags in dogs are benign growths (tumours) on the surface of the skin which are a relatively common phenomenon in dogs (they can also be found in cats but less frequently). Skin tags are most commonly found in older animals and there are various medical terms used to describe skin tags, such as acrochordon, fibroepithelial polyp and fibrovascular papilloma. Areas of skin missing - cover the wound with a clean, dry dressing and call your vet straight away. If your pet seems uncomfortable when you try to cover the wound, or if you don’t have a dressing available, leave the area uncovered. Use salt water or clean lukewarm tap water. You can make saltwater by adding one teaspoon of salt to a pint of cooled (previously boiled) water. Remember to always consult with your vet before applying any wound preparations to your dog's wounds, especially if they are deep or severe.

Wound dressings are essential for protecting your dog's wounds from further damage, preventing infection, and promoting healing. Our selection includes a variety of sizes, shapes, and materials to suit different types of wounds and injuries. Did you know that dogs can get corns on their feet? Maybe not! This condition is relatively rare in most breeds and types of dog, and is almost always unique to greyhounds, whippets and lurchers, where its prevalence rate is actually quite high. Because corns on the feet are fairly uncommon in other breeds of dog, often even veterinary surgeons are not particularly familiar with the condition, and misdiagnosis during the early stages of the problem developing is not uncommon for this reason. So if you own a greyhound, whippet or lurcher, it's important to learn about corns on the feet so that you can identify a potential problem developing and point your vet in the right direction. What are corns? The sound of any spray aerosol can briefly spook pets and animals, so be sure to hold them firm and then spray in one swoop and not multiple bursts. Kruuse is another well-known brand that offers a variety of dressings, including non-adherent dressings, adhesive dressings, and foam dressings. Their dressings are designed to be gentle on the skin while providing effective wound care. This means that your dog can stay comfortable while their wound heals.

Another method involves filing the corn down, to reduce the protrusion and outward pressure on the pad. This method is not usually considered as a permanent solution, however, as the corn is not entirely removed- but in the short term it can provide a much needed respite from the pain and discomfort of the corn.

We would never advise removing skin tags at home – this may result in pain to your pet, risk of bleeding, as well as a risk of infection. There could also be problems if the growth is actually something other than a skin tag. Whilst dog skin tags are usually harmless, changes in their appearance and frequency could be signs of a more serious condition. If you see your dog’s skin tags exhibit any of the following changes, we advise seeing a veterinarian for a full examination and diagnosis: If it does indeed need to go, skin tags can be removed in surgery with the dog under a local anaesthetic. Generally, the animal will return home the same day as the procedure, with close monitoring over the following weeks to ensure the area hasn’t been scratched at and the wound has healed correctly. It protects minor cuts and injuries from dirt, bacteria, and water with a film-forming spray. After it's applied, it acts as a bandage, covering the area and enhancing the healing process. The spray remains flexible and breathable to the air. It is an excellent adhesive effortless to apply on hard-to-reach areas.
