skin & infection support
As pet parents, we know how much trouble our furkids can get into, and sometimes we don’t always know what to do when something more serious happens. Don’t you worry! Our pet experts are here to help. Having basic first aid could be life-saving in an emergency or help a fluffy loved one reach medical attention.
Every pet parent should have a first aid kit for pets because it can come in handy when you least expect it. Whether you can make one yourself or find a prepackaged one, you can find them in various sizes for different situations. First aid kits for pets are inexpensive, easy to find, and generally will keep you equipped to help with most injuries until you can reach a vet.
First Aid Kit For Home
Accidents and injuries can happen anytime, anywhere, but it is always a good idea to have a good first aid kit at home. These are the most important items to look for in a first aid kit for pets:
- Muzzle (be careful when you muzzle an injured pet because they might get aggressive)
- Gauze
- Sterile pads
- Stretch bandage
- Bandaging tape
- Vet wrap
- Safety scissors
- Hydrogen peroxide
- Cotton balls or swabs
- Chlorhexidine wash (0.5%)
- Splinting materials
- Tweezers
- Disposable gloves
- Antiseptic Spray (our natural suggestion is NHV First Aid Spray)
- Diarrhea/ Constipation medication (our natural suggestion is NHV Plantaeris for diarrhea and NHV Maris for constipation)
- Antibiotic ointment (our natural suggestion is NHV All Clear Ointment)
First Aid Kit To Go
Depending on where you live, you should have a tick twister included in your kit.
If you’re out and about with your furry baby, you do not need to carry around a backpack worth of supplies to be prepared. A good first aid kit for pets can be the size of a fanny pack, so it can be taken with you or even be easily stashed in the car. Here’s what you should have on you:
- Safety scissors for cutting bandages or trimming fur (sometimes the fur around an affected area needs to be trimmed to be able to treat the issue properly)
- Some type of antiseptics like NHV First Aid Spray (keeping clean to avoid infection is important)
- A set of gauze
- Bandages and adhesive tape (for open wounds, cuts, and scratches)
- Disposable gloves
- Tweezers
- Vet wrap
- Small flashlight
- Water (to wash any wounds)
Tick Tip: Depending on where you live, you should have a tick twister included in your kit. This is a device that works miracles when removing ticks. It removes the full tick without driving it further into the skin. Using tweezers is no longer advised to remove ticks as it is known to remove the tick’s body and not the head. It’s also good to take a picture of the tick before removing it so you can show it to your vet!
Vet Wrap
The single most useful item you can own is a vet wrap — it’s a self-adhering tape shaped like a tensor bandage. It is basically the shape of a tensor bandage or smaller, depending on your pet’s size. When a pet has too much fun running around at the park or is out in the snow too long, they may wear down their paw pads until they are sore. The vet wrap comes in very handy because it can be used to cover the paw to avoid getting bacteria in the injured area and prevent the pet from bothering it. If you know your pet will not put up with having a bandage on for even a few seconds, then a vet wrap is a great solution because they can come bitterly flavored, making them no fun to chew off.
Having a first aid kit for pets is essential as you will be able to provide basic care at the emergency scene. However, it is not a substitute for proper veterinary care. If your cat or dog is experiencing an emergency, please take them to your regular veterinarian or emergency veterinary hospital as soon as possible. It’s also important to remember that any uncomfortable animal may bite or scratch—be sure to take the appropriate actions to ensure your own safety.
To be prepared for everyday emergencies, NHV’s Cut and Wound Care Kit is a great addition to any pet pawrents medicine cabinet. Containing First Aid Spray and All Clear Ointment, it is perfect for many different injuries.

Natural Support for Skin Infections, Hot Spots and Scrapes
All Clear Ointment is a topical ointment for dog skin that contains all-natural herbal ingredients that protect and soothe skin while promoting healing. It can be used to help with yeast infections, fungal or bacterial infection, general itchy skin, and everyday scuffs.
Hot Spots
Did you know that the skin is the largest organ of the body? It is the boundary between the body and the outside world and is susceptible to injury at all times. A “hot spot” (aka moist dermatitis) is a condition that involves an area of skin that becomes inflamed, causing a raw, moist wound to develop. These areas are itchy and may cause a lot of discomfort for your pup; the anti-inflammatory and immune stimulating properties in All Clear help reduce swelling and discomfort.
Bacterial and Fungal (Yeast) Infections
To keep your dog’s skin happy, a delicate balance of healthy bacteria, fungus and other microorganisms are required. When there is an irritant, infection or allergy response, your dog can respond by biting or chewing to self-soothe and their mouth can introduce infection causing a secondary infection. The herbs in All Clear Ointment, like Marigold, help fight fungal infections of the skin.
Wound Healing
For pet parents with active pooches, you know that your four-legged friends like to get into trouble! For every day cuts and scrapes, make sure to disinfect the affected area before applying the All Clear ointment. The olive oil, beeswax and rosemary extracted in sunflower oil form a protective barrier and stay in place while the skin heals.
How All Clear Supports Recovery from Hot Spots and Itchy Skin
All Clear contains many beneficial ingredients like Echinacea angustifolia which has been commonly used for skin infections due to its many immune-stimulating properties. Herbs like Marigold help decrease bacteria and fungus, at the site of injury, and Goldenseal acts as a natural disinfectant that fights infection and stimulates healthy immune response. The anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties reduce discomfort and swelling so your furkiddo is less likely to chew the affected area. And the olive oil, beeswax and rosemary (extracted in sunflower oil) create a protective barrier so the skin can start to heal. All Clear’s 100% natural formulation means that it is totally safe if your pup licks it! This all natural, topical cream is safe to use alongside other NHV supplements, like Felimm, to give your pet the support they need for fighting fungal infections both externally and internally.

Natural Disinfectant Spray for Cat Wounds
Are you prepared for a pet emergency? Most households have a first-aid kit for humans and a basic understanding of human first aid but are unaware of what to do regarding minor pet emergencies. Accidents and injuries can happen anytime so having a cat first aid kit is essential for providing immediate care but is by no means a replacement for proper veterinary care. If your kitty is experiencing any emergency (major or minor), please take them to your trusted vet or emergency veterinary hospital as soon as you can. Also, do keep in mind that cats are very sensitive creatures and when they experience discomfort or stress, they may bite or scratch, so take special care to protect yourself.
How NHV’s Cat First-Aid Spray Supports Healing and Recovery
Cats are highly sensitive, intuitive creatures so even the smallest cut or scratch can cause extreme distress. Ingredients like Neem and Tea Tree oil contain natural disinfectant properties for cleaning wounds and discouraging the development of pathogenic infections. The sedative properties in California Poppy help relax your furry friend’s muscles to reduce stress, encourage healing, and help with discomfort. Aloe Vera’s highly effective antifungal and antibacterial properties are comparable to silver sulfadiazine (a common prescription cream used for treating and preventing infection). Ingredients like Marigold and Usnea, promote faster recovery by offering many beneficial wound and skin-healing compounds.
The Basics of Cat Emergency Care
- Keep information about your kitty’s medical history and your veterinarian’s phone number in an easily accessible place.
- Find out where the nearest 24-hour veterinary hospital is located. Have this information posted, so that all household members are aware.
- Just like in humans, there are pet first aid courses, and it's a great idea for all pet parents to be up-to-date on proper pet first aid techniques
- Always have a cat first aid kit on hand.
These are the most important items for building a cat first aid kit:
- Sterile Gauze (pads)
- Stretch bandage (vet wrap - very handy)
- Bandaging tape
- Safety scissors
- Hydrogen peroxide
- Cotton balls or swabs
- Chlorhexidine wash (0.5%)
- Splinting materials
- Tweezers
