WHAT IS HICC PET® PURIFIED HOCL ?

What Are The Clinical Benefits Of Using Purified Hypochlorous Acid On Pets?

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a naturally occurring substance produced in mammalian white blood cells that aids the immune system in dealing with invading microbes.

Purified HOCl, formulated with our specialized technology, is a gentle cleanser that is soothing and non-irritating and is safe on the skin.

HICC Pet® HOCl is purified, stable, and formulated for optimal benefit.

What Makes HICC PET® Purified Hypochlorous Acid Technology Special?

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a versatile compound that has been used for over 100 years in the human healthcare field. It was used in World War I to effectively treat battle wounds and was only first reported in veterinary literature in 1916.
Initial formulations produced on the battlefield were unstable because the HOCl would rapidly degrade to less effective components. We've stabilized the compound using innovative technology and provide a purified form of hypochlorous acid without harmful additives.
We also developed the first pet glove wipes infused with hypochlorous acid, and some of our packaging features separate compartments for the liquid and gloves, which can be combined to keep the HOCl in its freshest and most active form.

First Aid for the Skin

HOCl has been a helpful aid to pets with a variety of skin issues. It is soothing on the skin, non-irritating, and a gentle but effective skin cleanser.

Gentle & Effective

HOCl is a non-drug cleansing solution with a variety of applications. Ask your veterinary team about HOCl and whether it might be appropriate for your pet!

Gentle Enough for Eyes and Ears

Pets with ear conditions often suffer from inflammation, ear itch mites, swollen ear flaps, and hematomas. Most medications used for animal ear care cause irritation and tingling. HOCl safely reduces common ear and eye illnesses for pets.
