A keratolytic gel for thickened, dry or cracked paws and noses – VetriMax Solva-Ker is a clear, greaseless topical gel for dogs, cats and horses, formulated with salicylic acid (3.3%) and urea to help soften excess keratin and hydrate rough, flaky areas.
How it works – Salicylic acid supports natural exfoliation, helping to loosen built-up keratin, while urea draws in and holds moisture. The gel absorbs quickly and leaves no sticky residue, which matters on paws a pet will lick.
How to use it – Apply once daily to clean skin and massage in until fully absorbed, leaving no excess gel. Once the area improves, reduce to two or three times a week, or follow your vet's directions.
For dogs, cats and horses – Check the label for species and age guidance, and speak to your vet before using it on a cat, as cats process salicylates differently from dogs.
Have thickened paws or a crusty nose checked – Hyperkeratosis has several possible causes, from age-related change to nutritional and immune-mediated conditions, and some need veterinary diagnosis and treatment. If the skin is cracked and bleeding, sore, infected, or getting worse, see your vet rather than managing it at home.
