Vetericyn Plus® Antimicrobial Feline Wound Care is ideal for treating minor cuts, abrasions, and other superficial wounds. However, if your cat’s wound is deep, bleeding excessively, or showing signs of infection (such as pus or a foul odor), it’s important to consult a veterinarian for professional care.

If your cat is excessively licking or scratching its wound, try using an Elizabethan collar (cone) to prevent further irritation. Additionally, applying a wound care product like Vetericyn Plus® Antimicrobial Feline Wound Care can help soothe the wound, but always monitor your cat closely to ensure it doesn’t interfere with the healing process. If your concerns persist, contact your veterinarian.

To use Vetericyn Plus® to help clean the affected area first move excess hair away from the wound. Next, apply the product directly to the wound, saturating the area evenly. Flush away dirt and debris to aid healing and help prevent infection. Repeat the process 2-3 times a day for optimal healing.

We recommend using Vetericyn prior to the expiration date marked on the label to utilize maximum strength.

This means that Vetericyn contains no ingredients that would result in a positive blood or urine analytical test for non-permitted substances in race or show animals (if ingested or licked). Since there are no banned substances and no steroids or antibiotics, Vetericyn tests free for competitive animals.

Vetericyn Plus® Wound and Skin Care products are not and do not contain any bleach. Bleach is corrosive, toxic, will burn, generates fumes/vapors and is not safe for use on the intended applications of Vetericyn. In addition, stabilized bleach has a pH of >11 while Vetericyn Plus® products are manufactured within an appropriate physiological pH range and will not sting when applied. Vetericyn is a hypochlorous solution that is safe and non-toxic and pH balanced. Vetericyn will not harm healthy tissue in the process of cleaning and debriding wounds.

Vetericyn Plus® Liquid formula can freeze and thaw without hurting the effectiveness of the product. If a bottle was frozen you will notice leaking as a result of expansion of the formula. The bottle walls may collapse after thawing out or evidence of ice may be noticeable within the solution.

Vetericyn Plus® is to be used per label indications. Vetericyn has no known contraindications and no known negative drug interactions.  If you need to apply other remedies like fly repellents, we recommend that you apply Vetericyn first and wait at least 60 seconds before applying any other materials. After consulting or treating with Vetericyn, we recommend that you advise your healthcare professional (veterinarian) of any treatment protocol you are following in addition to those recommended by the veterinarian.  Vetericyn is not intended for use on systemic conditions.

The fact that Vetericyn Plus® does not contain antibiotics means that there is no need to be concerned about the animal building up resistance to our Vetericyn Plus® products. Antibiotic resistance is a concern in the animal industry. The repeated and extended use of Vetericyn in cleaning and debriding the wound bed has no adverse consequences. In addition, if there are regulatory limitations for use of antibiotics, those limitations do not apply to Vetericyn Plus® products.

The transfer or decanting of Vetericyn products is not recommended due to the possibility of contamination and the ingredients being neutralized by coming in contact with the new container’s materials.

Vetericyn VF formulations have a higher concentration of ingredients in comparison to OTC Vetericyn products found in stores. The Vetericyn VF formulations are only sold to licensed veterinarians and can only be obtained from such.

As part of our regulatory compliance efforts and our continual improvement process, from time to time we find ourselves in the need to change narratives or statements found on our product labels, website, and marketing materials. Recently, for example, Wound and Infection Care changed to Wound and Skin Care. These specific changes to the narratives on the labels and other materials in no way altered or modified our formulas, their concentrations, safety, or efficacy. All Vetericyn cat wound care products are safe, effective, and continue to be of the highest quality.

Vetericyn Plus® Wound and Skin Care products are unique from other animal wound cleansers/dressings because of their safety profile. They are safe for use on all animal species regardless of age and condition. Vetericyn Plus® Wound and Skin Care is non-corrosive, non-toxic, non-irritating, non-staining, and safe to use on or around the eyes, nose and mouth. Vetericyn Plus® does not harm healthy tissue and does not contain steroids, alcohol, tea tree oil or antibiotics. Vetericyn Plus® is biodegradable and environmentally friendly. Vetericyn Plus® Wound and Skin Care products are pH-balanced and are shelf-stable. It can be easily applied with no mixing or dilution required and does not require rinsing after use.

While there is a slight chlorine odor, there is a proprietary amount of Free Active Chlorine (FAC) measured in parts per million which is not significant enough to cause stinging when applied.

Vetericyn Plus® Wound and Skin care products can be used on wounds and issues of the ear.  As it pertains to the eye, we recommend the use of the Vetericyn Plus® line of eye products. Not all of the products have specific indications for the eye.
