Customers say

Customers overwhelmingly praise this wound and skin irritation treatment for rapid, effective healing across all pet types. Most report dramatic improvements within 24 to 48 hours, with deep cuts, raw skin, post-surgical incisions, and gaping wounds healing beautifully without complications. Reviewers highlight its versatility on horses, dogs, cats, and ferrets for everything from paw injuries to ear irritations and bite wounds. The hydrogel's non-drip formula and spray precision application require no bandaging and cause no stinging, making treatment stress-free even for anxious animals. Many keep multiple bottles as emergency essentials. A few report minimal effect or wish for lower pricing, but these concerns are rare.

Hydrogel

Maroo

My kitty is a very light-colored orange and white tabby. Like most white cats, he sunburns. I’m super-careful about keeping him out of sunny windows, but of course, he loves to sneak a nap on the south-facing. window with his nose to the screen, even if he has to crawl under the window blinds to do so. He ends up looking like his nose, head, and forehead have the measles. Hydrogel helps the itchy red dots of his sun-sensitivity heal faster. Some of it gets licked off, but it isn’t a toxic product. He heals without it, but he heals faster with it. It doesn’t sting, but it does have an (okay) smell. He doesn’t like the sound of the spray, so I spray my palm and put a drop on my finger then on him. I’m glad to have found a non-toxic product that helps.

The best I’ve ever used on an horse injury. My filly tore open her shoulder and it’s the only product I used after the vet cleaned it out. Can’t even tell!

This is, by far, the most effective product I have ever used. It is like a magical, miracle formula that heals wounds, both major and minor, quickly and cleanly. I always make sure I have it on hand - there is nothing else that even comes close.

Bite sore

I bought this because my pup had been bitten by a tick and the bite was starting to look infected. I used an antibiotic ointment and it helped healed a little bit but not too much. I started looking up products and found this. I used it on my pup and after less than a week the bite closed and is disappearing.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Questions

1 - 10 of 16 Questions

Is this good for sore paws

  1. Absolutely! Helps with other open wounds.



Is vetericyn plus hydrogen water proof

  1. Vetericyn Hydrogel is a water-based solution. It is not oil based, and therefore not considered "waterproof"



Why does it smell like bleach? It is normal?

  1. I did just sniff the hydrogel, and there is a faint odor of bleach. But no worries, I've used this a lot on cats, even around their eyes, and it does seem to help wounds heal...



Is this safe to use on a cut on the inside of my dogs ear?

  1. Yes! Our Hydrogel formula can be used in and around the eyes and ears without any concerns. Depending on how dirty your dog's ears are, you may want to first clean with our Ear Rinse or any Vetericyn Plus liquid formula prior to applying the hydrogel.



My dog has clipper rash on his genitals would this help?

  1. Our Vetericyn Plus hydrogel would work well on rashes or abrasions caused from clippers. Apply 1-2 times per day and there is no worry if the product is licked or ingested.



Will this work for inflammation around toe nail on dog?

  1. I think it could help.



Is this safe for a hamster?  Mine is recovering from a mite outbreak and his skin is so red and he keeps scratching it.  Thanks!

  1. Thanks for your question. All Vetericyn Plus products are safe to use on all animals at all life stages. The hydrogel is likely the best solution for your treatment needs. If the area gets dirty after applying the hydrogel, you can also utilize our Wound & Skin care liquid instead, and is equally effective.



What's the difference between the hydrogel version and spray version of the antimicrobial for wound and skin?

  1. Hi Gucciumma. The liquid formula is a great topical spray that helps clean, rinse, and soothe irritations and wounds. The hydrogel is a thicker formula that gels on contact to coat and protect the site. It's great for hard to reach areas or places where liquid may run off. We recommend using the products together for best results – first clean with our spray and then coat with our gel. Both formulations are antimicrobial, non-stinging, and help reduce the chances of infection. Thanks for your question!



The spray says hydrogel but comes out like a thin liquid is it supposed to come out like that when you spray it on or is it supposed to be thick

  1. Make sure you shake it before applying per instructions and depending on the size you buy you may have to turn the nozzle to the correct setting to spray.. the bigger size has two nozzle settings.. 



My dog has been licking his paws excessively to the point he has open wounds and raw skin can I use this on him? He also has some open wounds on his nose and keeps licking and scratching his mouth excessively, would this be a good treatment for him? 

  1. Yes it works well for healing and is safe for your dog. However I would take him to the vet to resolve what he may be allergic to. It could also be anxiety. Good luck to you and your sweet doggie.
