How to deal with the skin scratched by the dog's paw:

1. Disinfect in time

After being scratched by the dog's paw, you should immediately Rinse with plenty of water, then apply iodine and hydrogen peroxide to the injured area for disinfection. If you can tolerate the pain and the wound area is not large, alcohol is also a good choice. Timely disinfection can effectively prevent wound infection and suppuration.

2. Bandage to stop bleeding

If the wound scratched by the dog's paw is not large, you can directly apply an anti-inflammatory and hemostatic band-aid after disinfection. However, if the wound is large and exposed to the air, you need to use a clean and hygienic medical bandage to wrap the wound. If necessary, you can sprinkle powder to stop bleeding.

3. Vaccination

If you are bitten or scratched by a dog suspected of having rabies (such as wild dogs, pet dogs with abnormal temperaments), you need to be vaccinated in time. If the wound is large or the dog’s nails are covered in dirt, it is also necessary to consider additional vaccination to prevent tetanus.
