How to Use Animax Cream

Pet owners know that dogs and cats are prone to getting cuts, scrapes and minor skin irritations. Fortunately, veterinarians have many products that they can prescribe to keep your pet healthy. One of these products is Animax cream, which is a topical ointment containing antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory medicine. Only your vet can decide if Animax cream is appropriate for your pet's skin irritation and provide the prescription and dosage information.
