No, this product is designed for minor cuts, nicks, and nail trims. For deeper wounds, seek immediate veterinary care for appropriate treatment.

A mild stinging sensation may occur when applied to open cuts due to its active ingredients. If your pet shows signs of discomfort or the area becomes inflamed, consult your veterinarian.
