Vetericyn Plus Antimicrobial Hydrogel for Dogs & Cats
Brand: Innovacyn
Vetericyn Plus Antimicrobial Hydrogel is a versatile, non-toxic, and advanced wound care solution designed to help clean, treat, and promote healing in minor wounds, abrasions, and skin irritations for all animal species.
This product is intended for dogs and cats.
Overview
Vetericyn Plus Antimicrobial Hydrogel is a revolutionary first-aid product developed by Innovacyn that utilizes advanced hypochlorous technology to provide professional-grade wound care at home. Unlike traditional povidone iodine solution or harsh antiseptic wipes, this hydrogel formula is specifically designed to stick to the site of the injury, ensuring prolonged contact time for optimal healing. It mimics the natural immune system response of the animal, making it safe for use on all skin types and across all species, from domestic pets like dogs and cats to larger animals like horses.
The primary purpose of this hydrogel is to create an ideal environment for healing by maintaining the moisture balance of the wound while protecting it from contaminants. While owners often rely on antibiotic ointment pet-safe for minor scratches, Vetericyn Plus offers a sting-free alternative that does not damage healthy tissue. When dealing with specialized areas, users may consider pairing this with vetericyn plus ear rinse for targeted cleaning or using a recovery suit for dogs to prevent the animal from licking the affected area during the healing process. Unlike a standard saline solution for pets which primarily flushes debris, the hydrogel provides an active antimicrobial barrier.
Because it is free of steroids, antibiotics, and alcohol, Vetericyn Plus is safe if the animal accidentally ingests a small amount. It is significantly more advanced than older treatments like silver sulfadiazine cream regarding ease of application and lack of tissue toxicity. Whether you are addressing hot spots, post-surgical sites, or minor lacerations, this product simplifies the veterinary first-aid kit, serving as a reliable first line of defense before seeking professional medical intervention for severe conditions.
What It's For
- Wound Cleaning: Assists in the initial removal of debris and foreign material from minor cuts and abrasions.
- Skin Irritations: Soothes hot spots, rashes, and localized inflammation caused by allergies or environmental factors.
- Post-Surgical Care: Protects incision sites and helps manage minor infections during the recovery phase.
- Protective Barrier: Creates a gel layer that defends the wound bed against external contaminants while keeping the area moist for better healing.
- Minor Burns: Provides cooling relief and protection for superficial burns or skin scrapes.
How To Use
To apply Vetericyn Plus Antimicrobial Hydrogel, first clear the excess hair from the wound area if necessary. Gently flush the wound with a rinse to remove any loose debris or dirt. Once the area is clean, apply the hydrogel liberally directly onto the wound site. Because of its gel consistency, it will adhere to the tissue, providing a longer-lasting protective layer compared to spray versions. You do not need to wipe it off; let it dry naturally on the skin. Repeat the application 3 to 4 times per day or as needed until the wound is healed. For best results, keep the area protected and avoid letting the pet lick the site until the gel has fully absorbed or dried. If the wound shows signs of worsening, seek veterinary attention immediately.
Precautions
While Vetericyn Plus is formulated to be non-toxic, it is intended for external use only. If your pet experiences any signs of increased irritation, redness, or swelling after use, discontinue application and consult your veterinarian immediately. Always store the bottle in a cool, dry place and keep it out of reach of children. Do not transfer the product into a different container, as this may compromise the stability of the active ingredients. This product is not a substitute for professional veterinary care in the event of deep puncture wounds, severe bleeding, or signs of systemic infection (such as lethargy or fever). If the condition of the wound does not improve after several days of treatment, professional medical assessment is necessary to rule out underlying issues that might require antibiotics or surgical debridement.
