putting our pets first We may feel as if we have had ‘information overload’ when it comes to germ prevention and protection, but sometimes a product comes along that demands our attention - enter Leucillin. This is a skin health product for pets that is proving to be a product which all of us may well be putting in our first aid chests very soon. We spoke to Georgina Bashforth (pictured right) about the product and its exciting potential……. First of all, in layman’s terms – what is Leucillin? Leucillin is a clever antiseptic applied to the skin topically to protect against harmful germs. Leucillin is a revolutionary fresh new take on what an antiseptic is and can be capable of. Leucillin mimics the body’s own immune system, providing you a powerful solution which delivers the ultimate shield in topical skin protection against harmful pathogens. Leucillin’s unique formulation does not contain any alcohol, steroids or antibiotics, it is the natural choice for safe skin sanitising. Our pets our so important to us, how is Leucillin used and what specific applications is it effective for? Leucillin has a great reputation for safety and efficacy, supported by pet healthcare, veterinary and grooming industries, this year. It has been awarded human approvals and begun an exciting new chapter in healthcare. Furthermore it can be safely applied in any topical application where the skin, ears and eyes need care, whether broken, red, sore, inflamed, cuts, stings, bites or grazes, Leucillin’s powerful antiseptic properties eradicate germs on contact creating the perfect environment for rapid recovery. For children, as well as our pets, it’s “Ouch Free” formula is kind, it has been developed to match the natural pH of skin so no more wincing on that grazed knee. It seems to be a very gentle solution to a number of particularly stubborn problems - can it be used long-term? Leucillin achieves an unbeatable 99.99999% reduction in bacteria on contact, but how does that compare with the 99.99% which we think is good? Well; it’s a massive 10’000 times better! Fast effective pathogen reduction means no resistance therefore long-term usage is always effective and no harmful ingredients means Leucillin is always safe! And finally, how else can it be used and what are your hopes for the product going forward? Our goal is to help alleviate the dependence on antibiotics and pharmaceutical intervention in the area of germ protection, for a more natural, safe, non-invasive and most importantly effective alternative. During the pandemic Leucillin has been proven effective against all coronaviruses including SARS-CoV-2 topically and has been used by animal care industries including Police Dog Handler units for reducing risk. We have also recently teamed up with The Humanimal Trust founded by Professor Noel Fitzpatrick - aka The Supervet, we’re excited to be supporting mental health and raising money for ONE Medicine, so that humans and animals can benefit equally from all medical progress. KEEPING YOUR DOG SAFE AND HAPPY THIS CHRISTMAS To share a stress-free and safe Christmas with your dog, The Kennel Club has rounded up some tips on how to keep them comfortable and safe during the festive season... A DOG’S DINNER - Each Christmas there are thousands of cases of dogs needing veterinary treatment after stealthily stealing chocolate and other unsuitable festive treats. With so much going on during Christmas so try and keep treats out of paw’s reach. One of the most hazardous Christmas treats is chocolate, which is highly toxic for dogs. It is important to keep any chocolate treats, including tree decorations, out of your dog’s reach to avoid poisoning, and ask your visitors to do the same. Christmas dinner also involves a lot of foods which can be dangerous for a dog, either through being toxic, too salty or too fatty. Owners should avoid feeding dogs turkey, goose or chicken as bones can easily splinter causing an obstruction and possibly even piercing your dog’s tummy. Sweet treats like mince pies and Christmas pudding all contain dried fruits including raisins, currants or sultanas which are toxic to dogs. Other dangerous Christmas treats that should stay in a cupboard and away from your pet include macadamia nuts, blue cheese, alcohol, bones, fatty foods and mouldy foods. FESTIVE FUN - Christmas festivities can be overwhelming for dogs, from excited and noisy children to crackers banging, so avoid forcing festive fun by making sure their routine isn’t disrupted. Take them out on their usual walks and keep their dinner at the same time too. To help them feel secure, ensure they have their usual space and bed where they can retreat if they want to. When visiting family and friends over Christmas, or fitting in some Christmas shopping, make sure you don’t leave your four-legged friend alone for more than four hours. DANGEROUS DECORATIONS - Christmas decorations and presents are often just as intriguing and exciting for dogs as they are for humans. However, some seasonal decorative plans including holly, mistletoe, ivy and poinsettia, can also be dangerous. When decorating your house, make sure these plants are out of your dog’s reach. When choosing your tree, consider an artificial one as they don’t drop needles and are likely to be less harmful to pets. It can also be a good idea to leave the tree up undecorated for few days, giving your dog a chance to get used to it being there. Avoid hanging any chocolate, sweet or salt-dough decorations on the tree and keep the bottom branches bare of lights, tinsel and baubles. If you think your dog may have eaten, touched or inhaled something that they shouldn’t, speak to your vet straight away.
