Those of you who know Goldens, know they often have skin allergies.
Our Golden, Buster is no exception. Recently he itched his elbow to the point of rawness. I decided to wrap it up to reduce his access to the wound. Because of his thick fur, you cannot use anything with adhesive on it.
There is a group of wraps referred to as self adhering wraps. I decided to try 2 different products. The first, Vet Wrap (Human version is called Coban) manufactured by 3M. The comparison was a generic product produced by Webtex.
Buster got the Webtex product off in minutes, and was happily chewing it. The Vet wrap stayed on much longer and was clearly the winner.
Caution! I caution you that Vet Wrap/Coban has much more compression than a tensor bandage, so you must be very careful not to put it on too tight.
A quick survey of local vets confirms Vet Wrap as the product of choice.
