Dog Bandages
For scratches and cuts to open sores from a bug bite or skin irritation, a handy supply of dog bandages is essential for any dog parent. Used in combination with an antiseptic spray, a bandage can help keep a wound clean and also deter your pet from causing further irritation. Petco carries several styles, each designed for a specific type of injury. Bandage types typically include gauze squares and rolls, nonstick pads, and paper and adhesive first-aid tape. Some bandages have a bitter coating to discourage your dog from licking their wounds. Anti-lick sprays are also available for the same purpose. Depending on your dog’s specific injury, your veterinarian might also recommend a hot or cold therapy wrap, medical boot or a dog recovery cone. Speak with your veterinarian for advice about treating your dog’s injury without causing any further irritation.

Is our dogs wound healing
Pet has scraped paw pad-lifted from skin halfway off. Only one pad effected. We were not home at time of injury. She was caged at time. She licked paw until bleeding stopped. Cleaned wound, bandaged paw with nonstick bandage and wrapped with gauze and stretchy tape. What else do l need to do to?
Our dog has a red bump or scrape on the top of her paw. She seems to be acting ok, just licking it a lot. We tried to clean it with peroxide and wrap it but she is trying to take the bandage off
My dog has a cut on her paw. We have been applying bacitracin and wrapping in gauze and she has been wearing a cone to keep her from licking her paw. This morning, it looks as though the wound is swollen. Does she need stitches? She does not appear to be in any pain and walks on her paw just fine. No loss of appetite.
My dog somehow ended up with a damaged tissue under her carpal pad while playing with dogs. I wiped the area with damp paper towels, applied pressure with clean towel to stop bleeding and then applied kwik stop styptic powder with a damp cotton pad and bandaged the leg. I kept the bandage on for couple of hours and then took it off. The photo is 1 week after the injury. There is no bleeding, she walks good on her leg with no signs of pain so Im not sure if Im supposed to take her to the vet?
Yesterday my puppy had a procedure his vet took out inner sutures after neuter that caused irritation for a month, they only cut his skin and put outer suture to close the skin, but at night he kicked the wound open and today the vet closed the skin with glue and staples I put an ointment and closed the wound with sterile bandage so that the dog does not have access to the wound, I do not know whether to keep bandage on all the time and I send you pictures to find out whether the wound looks ok
Pet had skin die off, back rt foot (after severe abscess in back rt hip threatened amputate) Vet removed dead, new skin growth underneath. This left atleast 50% of exposed flesh, the other has new skin growth. Antibiocs & cleaning w/chlorhexidine 2xs a day.(metacam 1x day for 2 day.)With cleaning and limited mobility still seems impossible to keep clean, constantly finding dirt/debris, misc stuck to raw skin. Is there a safe way to cover wound while also letting it breathe for healing purposes?
Hello, My dog wagged her tail since we got home from vacation and it bled so we wrapped with a bandaid , did not put anything on. Now it’s red and swollen and she is licking that area. Will neosporin help?
We have our dog in a splint for a broken leg, it is his 7th out of 9 weeks. The bandage became too tight around his ankle at some point last night and I was forced to cut it off this morning due to loss of circulation. I am able to rebangage it myself at this point, but am wondering if he needs any drugs to make the swelling go down or if it will reduce on its own through the day?
My dog ripped his nail off. Bleeding is stopped but it's broke right down to his hair and his quik is very exposed. Idon't have much antibiotics to wrap it up till tomorrow. But I have something called woun'dres - collagen hydrogel wound dressing. And another thing called iodosorb- cadexomer iodine ointment. Can i use ether for the night?Should I even wrap it?
My dog cut the under side of his carpal pad in the stream Sunday evening. We cleaned it up, stopped the bleeding and have been changing the bandage once a day. He seems to be doing fine, playing and walking on it without pain and it doesn’t look infected. I probably should have taken him for stitches but it’s too late now. Is there anything else I should be doing or do these injuries take awhile to heal?
What’s the best way to treat the cut on my dog’s paw? We’ve been spraying it with the skin spray (pictured), bandages and wraps and doing our best to keep him from licking it. The inflatable donut was ineffective so we’ll pick up a cone today. Thanks in advance!
