Breeder's Edge® Clean Cut™ Povidone-Iodine 10% Antiseptic Solution is for use on the newborn kitten and puppy umbilical cord area.
What Do You Put on Puppies and Kittens Umbilical Cords?
You should put Clean Cut™ Povidone-Iodine 10% Antiseptic Solution on puppies and kittens umbilical cords because iodine seals and protects from bacterial infections and helps the cord dry up and fall off faster. This non-staining iodine formula will not cause discoloration on light colored fur or skin. Iodine for puppies and kittens deters moms from licking and biting at the umbilical cord area. Doing a navel dip as part of kitten and puppy umbilical cord care can help reduce the risk of common navel issues including: wet navels, navel infections (sepsis) and kitten and puppy umbilical cord hernias.
This iodine for cats and dogs can also be used on minor cuts, scrapes and incisions. Povidone iodine for dogs and cats helps protect from bacteria until the area is healed.
