Vetsalve is a unique topical skin salve to help support wound management in dogs and cats, suitable for infected and non-infected, acute and chronic wounds and skin abrasions. It helps to form an occlusive layer on the skin which provides natural inhibiting influence against bacterial and certain fungi.
Vetsalve contains Norwegian spruce resin (Picea abies), a natural ingredient that has proven healing benefits - one in-vitro study showed it to help enchance epitheliasation and signifantly boost wound closure by up to 47%¹. The resin has been found to be bacteriostatic and fungistatic within seven days and effective against a series of pathogens including Staphylococcus aureusm MRSA, E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans².
