My puppy wiped out on the cement and has a little scrape on is leg. Is it safe to put anything on it or do you just let it be. It is nothing big but it is a little scrape.

keep the area clean and apply some triple antibiotic ointment. If it becomes red or swollen contact your vet

You can clean it with a little hydrogen peroxide mixed with
water. Usually the animal will clean the wound it's self
if it can get to the wound. Just leave the scrape alone and
keep an eye on it. If it gets red and puffy or you see a discharge from the wound then take puppy to the vet.

Clean it well with hydrogen peroxide and then put some anti biotic cream on the scrapes. It will be OK.

if you do clean it, just put some hydrogen peroxide and neosporin on it. dont put a band-aid on it, the dog will just eat it and get sick later on. the dog will also lick the wound, and their saliva has a natural antibiotic in it.

You can clean it up like you would yours - I would avoid alcohol because that will sting - hy peroxide and neosporine
