🐾 Healing Spotlight 🐾
Swipe through to see how your dog’s incision gets stronger every day: during remodeling, new collagen fibers reorganize into tougher, tighter tissue. Scar tissue forms, the wound shrinks, and strength builds—though it may never be quite as strong as the original skin. Keep supporting their recovery with gentle care, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions!
