Dog Treat Recipe
Antiseptic Fomentation for Dogs and Cats
A warm saltwater compress used to draw out minor surface debris and gently cleanse a small wound before bandaging — a first-aid step, not a substitute for veterinary wound care.
Prep: 5 minutes
Bake: Apply 10 minutes
Yield: One application
Ingredients
2 cups warm water
1 tsp non-iodized salt
A clean, soft cloth
Directions
0.
Dissolve salt completely in warm water.
1.
Soak a clean cloth in the solution and wring out slightly.
2.
Hold the warm compress gently against the affected area for 10 minutes.
3.
Re-warm and re-soak the cloth as needed to maintain warmth.
4.
Pat dry afterward and seek veterinary care for any wound that appears deep or infected.
Storage Tip
Mix fresh for each use.
