Can I safely use Neosporin on my dog's rash or slow-healing wound?

Question

Is neosporin safe to use on a dog wound or do I need to ask my vet for a antibacterial cream? Nothing major just a rash on her foot. The rash already been looked at and there’s no signs of parasites but the site is taking a while to heal so I’m trying to help the process of her healing. Suggestions please.

Hi there. Generally speaking, Neosporin is okay to use in dogs - but if you want to be extra safe, you could always get an antibiotic spray labeled for use in dogs, like Nutri-Vet or Vetericyn. Your local pet store should have some options like this, if you want to pick something up.
