Information on minor common cuts and scrapes in pets
Everyday cuts, scrapes, insect bites and everyday mishaps – all these can affect cats and dogs fairly commonly. Though minor, these can cause a lot of pain and discomfort for your pet. Addressing these problems quickly, effectively and naturally will benefit your pet.
As any vet will tell you, one of the most important steps is to keep the area clean and the sooner that this is done the more beneficial the intervention will be.
By following a thorough cleansing routine before applying topical treatment like creams, you are also helping your pet to heal more quickly. As always, prevention is better than cure!
The natural way
Natural remedies can harness the body's innate healing mechanisms, supporting the healing process while also providing soothing properties. By providing sound support for bones, cartilage, nerves and connective tissue, natural remedies can make all the difference.
There is a lot that can be done to minimize the chance of minor injuries for your pets in the home. Here are some tips:
Keep children’s and pet’s toys neatly tucked away in a cupboard or box.
Garden utensils should be kept in a shed instead of lying in the garden or propped against a wall.
Keep garden paths clear and trim any bushes with thorns or sharp branches.
Make sure fences are safe and that they do not have sharp or jagged edges.

"My little dog Timmy is very active. We live in the country and he is in and out of bushes chasing after all manner of creatures. I love his energy but hate it when he comes home full of cuts and scrapes (which is often!!)! Your Clenzor and Wound Dr. have been of great help and I cannot imagine what I did without them. Thought I’d let you know how much we love your products."J. G.

Clenzor contains the following 100% natural ingredients:
Witchhazel
(Hamamelis virginianum) has been used for centuries by Native Americans as a styptic and soothing skin remedy. Witchhazel also supports the skin’s natural immune function. This herb has been the subject of numerous studies due to its potential to support the skin while soothing common skin injuries. (Korting HC, Schafer-Korting M, Hart H, et al. “Anti-inflammatory activity of Hamamelis distillate applied topically to the skin”. Eur J Clin Pharmacol 1993;44:315–18). (Swoboda M, Meurer J. “Treatment of atopic dermatitis with Hamamelis ointment”. Br J Phytother 1991/2;2(3):128–32). (Korting HC, Schafer-Korting M, Klovekorn W, et al. “Comparative efficacy of hamamelis distillate and hydrocortisone cream in atopic eczema”. Eur J Clin Pharmacol 1995;48(6):461–65)
Marigold
(Calendula officinalis) is an effective first-aid solution for all minor burns and scalds, as well as everyday cuts and scapes. Calendula also acts as an excellent skin tonic and has been studied for its ability to help soothe the skin. (Pommier, P., Gomez, F., Sunyach, M. P., D'Hombres, A., Carrie, C., and Montbarbon, X. “Phase III randomized trial of Calendula officinalis compared with trolamine for the prevention of acute dermatitis during irradiation for breast cancer”. J Clin.Oncol. 4-15-2004;22(8):1447-1453.)
Lemon balm
(Melissa officinalis) is well-known for its soothing and calming properties when used topically. This herb has also been studied for its beneficial effect on the nervous system (Kennedy DO, Scholey AB, Tildesley NT, Perry EK, Wesnes KA. Attenuation of laboratory-induced stress in humans after acute administration of Melissa officinalis (Lemon Balm). Psychosom Med. 2004 Jul-Aug;66(4):607-13.)
Annual Nettle
(Urtica urens) is an extremely versatile herb and is used both internally and externally for its excellent cleansing and supportive tonic properties. It is a rich source of quercitin, a flavonoid known to support histamine balance. (Taskila, K., Saarinen, J. V., Harvima, I. T., and Harvima, R. J. “Histamine and LTC4 in stinging nettle-induced urticaria.” Allergy 2000;55(7):680-681.)
