Given the chance, a horse could probably find a way to hurt himself while covered in bubble wrap. Good news! You can address minor injuries on your own with a well-stocked first aid kit.

We love that our pets can be fearless, energetic and adventurous. But as pet parents, we know they can also be clumsy and accident-prone, and their activities will eventually lead to injuries, cuts, and boo-boo’s. And when minor mishaps happen, it’s Dr. Mom or Dr. Dad at home who are the first to respond. Our pets rely on us to help them feel better and heal quickly.

Elephant Havens Wildlife Foundation is a dedicated group of caring individuals who rescue and hand-rear young orphaned elephants in Botswana. One donor for Elephant Havens, who is also a vet, recommended Silver Honey® wound care products to the group to help heal wounds and skin issues, and they have been greatly impressed by its healing powers for everything from thorn scratches to major injuries.

The skin is the largest organ.

The “microbiome” is what we call the microorganisms living in harmony on the skin.
