Topical Ointment for Dogs

Is your dog suffering from itchy, uncomfortable, or infected skin, ears, or eyes? They may find relief with a topical ointment for dogs. 

Topical ointments are medications that are applied to and absorbed through your dog’s skin. These types of ointments are prescribed for a range of different ailments, like skin issues, ear and eye infections, gland infections, and more. 

Many topical ointments for dogs, known as quadruple topical ointments, contain anti-inflammatories, antifungals, antibiotics, and itching medicine to help with a variety of symptoms. When used according to your vet’s instructions, topical ointments can get your dog feeling back to normal in no time.

There are many topical ointments for dogs that are safe, but you should consult with your vet before using them. Dutch carries Animax Ointment (Rx), which can be used for skin disorders, ear infections, and anal gland infections that are caused or complicated by bacteria or yeast. 

For eye infections, your vet may prescribe Terramycin Antibiotic Ophthalmic Ointment (Rx), an ointment for dogs that treats pink eye, inflammation of the cornea or eyelids, and more.

Quadruple topical ointment for dogs is named for its four therapeutic effects: anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-itch. These types of ointment for dogs may be applied topically anywhere from 1-3 times each day, depending on the severity of the case. 

You should wear gloves while applying quadruple topical ointments for dogs and wash your hands immediately after applying. 

Consult your vet on the proper dosage of quadruple topical ointment for dogs. They can advise on where to apply, how to apply, and how often.

Treating any injury in your dog can be scary, and open wounds are no exception. Just like in humans, open wounds in dogs can lead to excessive blood loss, infection, and more. It’s very important to treat an open wound with care and consult your vet as soon as possible. They may suggest bandaging, suturing, and other solutions.
