Neosporin Alternatives for Dogs and Other Pet-Friendly Products for Canine First Aid Kits
It doesn’t matter the age or breed. Minor cuts and scrapes occurring with active pets are all part and parcel of owning critters. Generally, we deal with them by gently cleaning the owie with warm water, stanching any minor bleeding, and allowing the area to dry thoroughly.
