Wound Care Wednesday! As the old saying goes a dog's mouth is cleaner...suggesting pet saliva has curative properties, modern medicine strongly warns against this practice.

Although your pup maybe adorable, keep their lickers on lock when you have an open wound! 🐶👅🔒 Contact Dermaheal to learn more or to make a referral: 843-333-2816.
