Problem
Traditional methods of managing pet wounds and incisions often involve cumbersome E-collars and complex at-home care routines, leading to poor client compliance and potentially hindering the healing process. These methods can be stressful for both pets and their owners, impacting the human-animal bond.
Solution
KeraVet Bio offers KeraVet® Gel, a prescription hydrogel designed to simplify and improve veterinary wound care. This hydrogel utilizes keratin technology to create a scaffold that mimics the extracellular matrix, promoting cell attachment, proliferation, and migration for faster and more effective healing. By reducing the need for E-collars and simplifying at-home care, KeraVet® Gel enhances client compliance, minimizes complications, and supports a stronger human-animal bond during the recovery period. Clinical studies have demonstrated that KeraVet Gel supports improved healing outcomes and significantly reduces wound licking in cats and dogs.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes veterinarians and veterinary practices seeking advanced wound care solutions that improve healing outcomes, reduce complications, and enhance client satisfaction.
