In the course of a dog’s life, he or she is likely to sustain wounds that range from minor injuries, such as small cuts or abrasions, to major ones which include gashes or deep punctures. Before you go and treat your pet’s wound yourself, it’s important to assess whether your dog is in vital need of emergency care or if taking them to the vet can wait. If you’re not sure, always err on the side of caution and bring your pet to the vet for professional dog wound care.
