A 5% betadine solution is best for dogs and cats. Mainly use for aseptically cleaning of wounds and surgical suture (after spaying and neutering). Watch for excessive discharge on the wound site, if this happens. Flush it with saline solution and the betadine to dry it. Minimize the use of betadine to once every other day and watch for allergic reaction. If your dogs or cats are allergic to seafood, DO NOT USE it. Consult a nearest DVM if symptoms persist. Be kind to animals. Yours truly, Jon D. DVM.

Can you use liquid bandage on an animal?
Yes, a liquid bandage can be used to seal a minor wound on an animal. However, there are two major cautions when doing this. First, make sure the animal can't lick the bandage off - the bandage may not be healthy for them to eat and it will end up exposing the wound to all the bacteria in the animal's mouth. Second, animals tend to move a lot, so the liquid bandage is much more likely to break down than it would on a human (who presumably will keep from moving the area too much).
