Povidone Iodine Prep Solution USP, Effective Topical Antiseptic Liquid for Skin and Mucosa, Cleansing and Preparation, Brown, 1-16 Fluid Oz. Bottle

This Dynarex Providone Iodine is the best iodine I have ever tried and it is very inexpensive compared to the rip off prices that some sellers are asking online and the brick stores for less concentration (7%) and less ounces. This is a great product for our needs as you can read below. Anti-bacterial and fungal invasions on Pets: I used this (it is 10%, not 7%) to help my dog with skin bacteria infection issues. So far, it is helping. The idea is to dilute it with water to the "colorization of dark tea" as is described by some veterinarians. So when I figured it out, I diluted it to a concentration of about 5% solution to 95% water, more or less. This means it is even weaker than the label of 10%. This stuff is concentrated. Vets say that dogs can "lick" this stuff and not get sick. However, on my little sensitive dog, he looked kind of sick and nauseated from using it and I could not tell if it was because of the smell which bothered him and made him whoosy or if it was the taste. So when I use it on him, I make sure he is bone dry of it before I let him try and lick it off. My dog is pure white and this stuff leave a mild stain on the coat but is really easy to bathe out. Usually with dog skin diseases, they should be bathed every day or every other day for a few weeks (I use Zymox enzyme shampoo for now) to make sure the disease doesn't come back so the stain won't be a big deal anyway. The coat will eventually turn to normal. Unlike a horse, a dog's skin will not burn with this if used in the proper dilution. I also found it is useful for the obvious cuts and wounds and stuff, for sanitizing sissors, and all kinds of pet stuff as well as people stuff. If you have farm animals or horses, and they get scratches or some kind of bacteria infection on them, do NOT use this full strength out of the bottle. This is a concentrated amount and is not a scrub. For horses, use a good microbial horse shampoo in a pale of water and then dilute this stuff down to 1%. I have seen people use this on their horses as a very diluted concentration as a microbial scrub to clean the white socks on a horse to stay white, but again, it is diluted so as not to burn the skin. Usually a microbial iodine scrub is about 5% but it can still be diluted. Any iodine directly on a horse's coat could burn and blister the skin! There are providone iodine "shampoos" and surgical scrubs but these too you have to be careful with on horses. When dealing with thrush or disease of the bottom foot of the horses foot, where the hard frog, sole, and wall is, this can be used full strength and directly into the sole and cracks on the bottom side of the hoof. Be careful of the heel bulbs and avoid the soft area of the cornet band where the hoof turns into hair. These also can blister. This item has many uses and I use it to sanitize cooking equipment or sissors made especially for cutting foods. It does appear to stain sinks and counter tops for a while but it fades or is easy to remove if cleaned up right away.

Good for many reasons, must have for yourself, kids, pets or other animals. Helps keep wounds clean as they heal. I carry this all the time in my guinea pig care bag. Please consult a vet or a knowledgeable guinea pig owner before giving/using anything. I also use this for wildlife too, also contact a wildlife rehabber or a knowledgeable person before use.

Great product and amount for the price.

Great

​I use this povidone-iodine solution as a regular soak for my dog's paws to keep them clean and healthy. Adding just a small amount to a basin of water for a diluted rinse has worked wonders for his paw hygiene. It’s been a much more cost-effective way to maintain his skin health compared to expensive specialty cleansers. ​I wish the bottle had a more controlled dispenser. But for the price and effectiveness, you can't beat it!
