Every dog owner is familiar with small scratches and wounds. Whether from wandering through dense bushes or poorly chosen walking routes with abrasive surfaces, small injuries and wounds are a daily occurrence for both dog and owner.
But even minor and seemingly harmless injuries require first aid. In today's blog post, we'll explain how to best treat your four-legged friend's small wounds and when a visit to the vet is necessary.
Even small wounds that initially appear inconspicuous, small and harmless can become infected. Slight bleeding, for example, can be an indication that deep tissue is affected and the layer of skin above it is damaged. This fact alone makes cleaning, treating and monitoring small cuts and abrasions necessary.
For uncomplicated but very effective initial treatment of small wounds, we recommend Vetericyn ® VF +Plus Hydro-Gel . The combination with ultrasound technology promotes wound healing and the elimination of harmful bacteria and microorganisms. Our emmi ® - pet - coat care set is perfect as a starter set for coat care, dental care and the treatment of small wounds.

In order to effectively prevent infection by bacteria and harmful microorganisms even in small wounds , every wound should be treated first and the healing process should be monitored regularly. Ultrasound technology and Vetericyn ® VF +Plus Hydro-Gel promotes wound healing.
For first aid, even small wounds and cuts should always be examined and professionally cleaned as a first step. The animal should be laid still. The wound should be cleaned of dirt, grime and blood using a clean cloth or sterile gauze. The actual size of the wound will then become apparent.
If a wound is bleeding, it should be stopped as quickly as possible and only then should the wound be cleaned. The surrounding area should be freed of fur using scissors or a razor to avoid sticking. After cleaning the wound, the wound should be examined for possible foreign bodies such as thorns or shards. Foreign bodies can ideally be removed with tweezers. A flashlight ensures good visibility.
