Travmatin is a homeopathic veterinary drug. Therefore ambiguous. Pet owners and veterinarians are divided into 2 camps: some criticize the medication, claiming that it is akin to the placebo effect, others note its real effectiveness in treating injuries.
In the article we will figure out: does Travmatin really help or is it a herbal dummy, is it worth taking, how and why the drug works, the features of its use.
At the end of the review you will find real reviews from dog owners, a list of analogues and recommendations for use.
Information and prices are current as of November 2022 and are constantly updated.
Is it possible to give?
Traumatin does not pose a danger to pets. Veterinarians often recommend giving the drug to dogs, because it has the following medicinal properties:
- Relieves pain. The analgesic effect occurs almost immediately after administration. No additional use of analgesics is required.
- Struggling with shock. Immediately after intravenous injection, an anti-shock effect occurs.
- Stops bleeding. This quality of the drug allows it to be used when a dog is injured and during surgery.
- Eliminates inflammation. Within a short period of time, Travmatin can eliminate the inflammatory process occurring in the dog’s body and prevent the development of inflammation.
- Restores damaged tissue.
Veterinarians recommend using Travmatin after operations, because it reduces the toxic load on the dog’s body, making recovery from anesthesia much faster and easier. In the postoperative period, the drug promotes rapid tissue regeneration.
conclusions
I have two feelings about Travmatin. On the one hand, this is a homeopathic drug that cannot compete with standard drugs. On the other hand, it really helps with wounds, speeds up healing, and works well for joint diseases.
It is impossible to talk about the complete uselessness of the drug. Its rich natural composition makes it an effective assistant in the recovery of animals after injuries and operations. We drink valerian to relieve nervous tension, or echinacea tincture to boost immunity.
But you shouldn’t expect a wow effect: Traumatin for dogs is a herbal preparation. Therefore, it can only be used as an additional remedy. Expecting it to help on its own, without complex symptomatic therapy, is stupid. But as an auxiliary component, it is a good medicine that helps put the animal on its paws faster.
If Traumatin is not suitable for your pet, try using Traumeel - the drugs are similar, the second, according to my observations, works better. And for old injuries and chronic diseases of the musculoskeletal system, it is better to stop at Tsel-T or Chondrartron.

As for appearance, the product is a liquid without a specific color or odor. The homeopathic medicine Travmatin helps:
- stop the bleeding;
- reduce inflammation;
- catalyze regeneration;
- eliminate intoxication, etc.
Thanks to the special formula of this medicine for cats, it is possible to achieve the most comprehensive effect. That is why it is so often prescribed in veterinary clinics.
Composition of the drug
The composition of Travmatin deserves special attention. This medicine for cats, dogs and other animals includes belladonna, arnica, calendula and ASD-2. Each of these elements directly affects different damaged systems. They help cope with cramps, relieve pain shock and improve the immune system.
Instructions for use
Injection
The most effective form of Travmatin in the treatment of dogs is considered to be an injection solution. When administered intravenously, the drug almost immediately relieves pain, brings the animal out of shock, and eliminates bleeding. The injections are effective as an emergency treatment.
Dosage
The dosage is calculated individually – 0.1 ml per 1 kg of pet’s weight. It is recommended to divide the daily dose by 2 times, administering the solution in the morning and evening. The duration of therapy is from 5 to 10 days, but in difficult cases it can be increased to 30 days.
How and where to inject?
Travmatin is administered not only intravenously, but also intramuscularly. The second option is easier, because with intravenous administration it is quite difficult to find a pet’s blood vessel.
An intramuscular injection is made under the shoulder blade into a fold of skin. For an abscess, injections are given around the perimeter, but this procedure can only be performed by a specialist.
Gel
The gel is a thick yellowish substance. This form of the drug is used for external use.
If the wound is shallow, then the medicinal composition is applied to it in a thin layer twice a day. If the wound is deep, then soak a sterile bandage in the gel and apply it to the injury site. After 30-40 minutes, the bandage should be removed.
The gel is not always easy to use. The dog will try to lick the medicine from the wound, so you will have to use a special protective collar.
Pills
Travmatin in the form of tablets began to be produced recently. The manufacturer did this to facilitate the administration of the medicinal composition. The disadvantage of this form is that the stomach has an acidic environment, which dissolves the beneficial components of the tablets. As a result, medications are poorly absorbed and the effect of treatment is reduced.
Single dose – 2 tablets. Frequency – 2-4 times a day depending on the weight of the pet.
Side effects and contraindications
Travmatin is a low-hazard drug, therefore, it can be used in the treatment of puppies, pregnant and lactating dogs. No side effects or complications were identified when using the medication. Sometimes components cause allergies. Then treatment with Travmatin is stopped and antihistamines are prescribed. Apart from personal intolerance to the components, the medicine has no contraindications.
Although Travmatin is safe, we must not forget about basic hygiene and safety measures: wash your hands with soap after using the drug, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water if it comes into contact with mucous membranes, because the medicine may cause irritation and various types of allergic reactions.
