FAQ

Can I use the Petflex Footprint Bandage on puppies?

Yes, always adjusting the pressure of the bandage to its size. Ideal for dressings and light protection.

How do I know if the bandage is too tight?

It must allow movement without cutting off circulation. Check: pinch a distal limb and observe capillary return in less than 2 seconds.

Will the bandage hold up if the animal gets wet?

It's water-resistant, but not waterproof. It won't fall apart in the rain, although it's recommended to avoid swimming or walking in the rain.

Is it useful for immobilizing fractures?

It is not a rigid bandage. It can complement splints, but it does not replace orthopedic immobilization.

Can I cut it without scissors?

Yes. Its design allows for clean manual tearing, which speeds up veterinary care.

How long does the product last in storage?

Up to 3 years under optimal conditions: dry environment, stable temperature (15–25 °C) and without direct exposure to sunlight.

Does it stick to the animal's hair?

No. It only adheres to itself, preventing discomfort when removing it and reducing the risk of skin traction.

Is it indicated after sterilizations?

Yes. It's ideal for holding dressings in place on the abdomen or limbs without the need for adhesive tape.

How do I safely discard it?

Dispose of with general waste. It is not a contaminant and does not require special treatment, unless it has been in contact with biological fluids.

Can I use it on horses or large animals?

For large species, the 10 cm format is recommended. This 5 cm size is more suitable for small animals or specific areas.
