Animalintex Poultice Pads – Trusted Clay Dressing for Wounds, Abscesses & Swelling
Animalintex is a VMD-licensed poultice dressing used to treat a wide range of equine and livestock conditions, including hoof abscesses, laminitis, mud fever, sprains, and infected wounds. Each pad contains a sterile combination of boric acid (antibacterial) and tragacanth (drawing agent) embedded in a soft, non-stick felt base.
These versatile poultice pads can be applied hot, cold, or dry, depending on the condition. Whether you’re drawing out pus from a hoof abscess or reducing swelling in a sprained fetlock, Animalintex provides quick, effective relief.

Why Use Animalintex?
Animalintex is a trusted favourite of vets, farriers, and livestock owners alike. Here’s why it belongs in every animal first aid kit:
-
Multi-purpose: Treats hoof infections, open wounds, and swollen joints.
-
Ready to use: Just cut to size, soak (if needed), and apply.
-
Safe & sterile: Each 20cm x 20cm pad is individually wrapped.
-
Antibacterial action: Boric acid helps prevent infection.
-
Draws out infection: Tragacanth actively pulls pus and debris from wounds.
Because of its design, the pad sticks well to the affected area when bandaged correctly. This ensures the dressing stays in place—especially useful when treating moving animals.
How to Use Animalintex (Hot, Cold or Dry)
Hot Poultice (for abscesses and infections):
-
Boil water, allow to cool slightly.
-
Soak the pad until just damp.
-
Squeeze out excess water—do not wring.
-
Apply to clean area with plastic side outwards.
-
Bandage with vet wrap and waterproof cover.
Cold Poultice (for bruises or inflammation):
-
Soak the pad in cold water or chill it in the fridge.
-
Apply in the same way as above.
Dry Poultice (for minor wounds or protection):
-
Apply the dry pad directly to the clean wound.
-
Cover with a supportive wrap or dressing.
Reminder: Replace the poultice every 12–24 hours. Clean the wound between applications to prevent bacteria build-up.
