The Miraculous Healing Power of Hypochlorous Acid
From Wounds to Wagging Tails: Animal Healing Miracles
Just like people, animals get injured all the time. When we see our furry friends badly injured, it breaks our hearts. Normal disinfectants and healing solutions were doing the job, but it still left the whole family anxious and made us wonder if our smaller family members were going to make it.
That's why we want to share three remarkable healing journeys that transformed our approach to animal wound care. These stories showcase how hypochlorous acid solution changed everything for these beloved animals and their families.
Thumper's Tale: A Bunny's Remarkable Recovery
Thumper had a deep hole in its side. It looked like a venomous spider bit the bunny and created this expanding hole. Thumper was in a lot of pain, and we wanted to remedy that pain as quickly as possible.

We used our Hypochlorous Acid solution (Benolar) on the wound 3 times a day and saw the wound start to close after just day 1. One week later, the wound was closed up. Three weeks after we started applying the solution, the wound was fully closed, the scar was gone, and hair started growing back.
The hearts of our entire family were leaping for joy, knowing that Thumper's injury was healing so quickly and that Hypochlorous Acid was providing relief for our furry friend. What started as a frightening situation transformed into a powerful testimony to the healing power of this natural solution.
Thunderbolt's Journey: A Competition Horse Returns to Glory
Thunderbolt was a great horse that competed for a while. Their owner was devastated when Thunderbolt came down on the fence and tore open its shoulder. When a competition horse is injured, it can cost a business owner a lot of money, and horses are already very expensive.

Traditional healing would have taken significantly longer to heal an injury this severe. The longer the horse could not compete, the more money was lost. Hypochlorous acid probably shaved a whole month off the healing process. With hypochlorous acid, the wound was completely healed in 6 weeks, and Thunderbolt was able to compete again.
This case demonstrates not just the physical benefits but the economic impact of faster healing. For professional animal owners and competitors, reducing recovery time by weeks can mean the difference between financial strain and continued success.
Bella's Comeback: A Mother Dog's Critical Recovery
Bella the dog had a big cut on the underside of her belly. She got caught in a barbed wire fence. Her entire belly was torn open after just recently having puppies. Bella's family was very concerned about the injury and wanted to heal it as fast as possible.

Bella was uncomfortable because of the wound, but she knew that her family just wanted to help her. After spraying the hypochlorous acid, Bella flinched a little but didn't mind it after it got applied. As the treatment went on, Bella seemed to be in less discomfort. It was working.
What made Bella's case particularly noteworthy was how quickly she adapted to the treatment. Unlike many traditional treatments that cause animals ongoing stress, Bella's acceptance of the hypochlorous acid application made the healing process smoother for everyone involved.
The Science Behind the Solution
Both humans and animals naturally produce hypochlorous acid inside their bodies. So, applying more hypochlorous acid to the wound is like providing additional building blocks for the body to heal that wound faster. And it's the same for animals. Animals work the exact same way. That's why it heals, that's why it promotes healing a lot more and a lot quicker than traditional disinfectants and healing solutions.
This natural alignment with the body's own healing mechanisms explains why we've seen such remarkable results across different species. Rather than introducing foreign chemicals that the body must process or overcome, hypochlorous acid works with the existing immune response.
Unexpected Benefits Beyond Healing
Some additional positive benefits were that the wounds fully healed without leaving much scarring. The really bad wounds still left a little bit of scarring, but the ones that look bad, where you think there's gonna be a big scar, still didn't leave a scar. So, reducing scarring and scar tissue is a huge benefit of hypochlorous acid.
Additional positive effects would be that the animals were less resistant to it than traditional methods. This reduced stress during treatment leads to better overall outcomes, as animals that fight treatment often cause further injury or delay healing.
Practical Tips for Pet Owners
Sometimes, hypochlorous acid can be soaked in a rag and applied by tying the rag to the wound. In this case, animals typically don't like when you tie stuff around them, so just applying it through the spray method is definitely the best treatment routine for these animals.
It's not a great way to take the stress out completely, but as most animal owners know, using a treat while you're applying the hypochlorous acid is typically a good way to distract your friend from the slight discomfort of a cold liquid hitting their sensitive spot.
Creating a consistent routine also helps animals know what to expect. Many pet owners find that establishing a calm, quiet environment for treatment sessions helps reduce anxiety for both the animal and the caregiver.

Universal Healing Across Species
Hypochlorous acid seems to work relatively the same on all animals. It's not harmful to them, it's non-toxic, it heals well, and it's a great disinfectant. It just really depends on the animal's personality, how they react with it, and react to it. But as far as animal species go, it works pretty much the same.
This universal application makes it an ideal solution for households with multiple types of pets or for veterinary practices treating diverse animals. The consistency of results across species provides confidence in recommending one solution for many different situations.
A Message to Veterinarians
To any Veterinarians that might be hesitant to recommend Hypochlorous Acid as a solution, it is FDA & EPA approved, it was invented by our military, and has been continuously used for several decades. Just because it is new to you does not mean it's not the best solution out there for everyone's pets. Many case studies with no bad results.
The evidence speaks for itself in these three cases and countless others. From small companions like Thumper to working animals like Thunderbolt, the consistent results demonstrate why more veterinary professionals are incorporating this solution into their recommended care protocols.
The Ripple Effect
These healing journeys have transformed our approach to animal care. What began as desperate attempts to help beloved pets has evolved into a fundamental shift in how we think about wound treatment. The combination of science-backed results and emotional relief for both animals and their owners makes this approach truly revolutionary.
We've seen firsthand how one successful experience leads families to adopt this solution for all their animals' needs. The peace of mind that comes from having a gentle, effective treatment option ready when accidents happen is invaluable for any animal lover.
When our animal companions suffer, we suffer too. Finding a solution that works with their bodies' natural processes, reduces their discomfort, and speeds healing isn't just about veterinary care. It's about preserving the special bond we share with these remarkable creatures who bring so much joy to our lives.
