When a horse comes in with a fresh scrape, a stubborn case of scratches, or a patch of rain rot creeping across the back, the first job is always the same: get the area clean, and keep it clean while it heals. Power Silver Wash and Silver Gel by SilverVet are built to do exactly that. They form a simple two-step wound care system that uses nano-silver technology to cleanse the wound and then support a healthy healing environment on the skin.
SilverVet is a small, family-and-friends-owned American company that builds its products around the natural antimicrobial properties of silver rather than harsh chemicals. The line is American made, designed for horses and other animals, and centered on a single idea: give the body a clean, well-supported surface and let it do what it does best.
Power Silver Wash is a nano-silver wound wash — a cleanser you use to flush and clean the affected area. Silver Gel is the topical companion: a nano-silver gel you apply to the cleaned wound so it stays coated and protected. Used together, the wash handles the cleaning step and the gel stays in place on the skin, which is why many horse owners reach for the combination rather than either product alone. Both are made for topical use on scrapes, cuts, penetrating injuries, burns, skin rashes, and the kinds of bacterial and fungal trouble that turn up in barns and pastures.
Silver has been valued for its antimicrobial properties for a very long time, and SilverVet's approach is to make that silver work harder by making the particles extremely small. The company calls it Triple Defense Technology: tiny nano-silver particles, just a few nanometers across, built on a pure silver core. Because the particles are so small, far less silver can do far more work — SilverVet reports that the formula is designed to keep acting continuously rather than getting used up quickly, while remaining gentle enough to leave beneficial probiotic bacteria alone. The result is a wound surface that stays cleaner for longer, supporting the horse's own healing rather than fighting against it.
This is a barn-shelf staple for the everyday injuries that come with keeping horses. Think pasture scrapes and cuts, the persistent scratches that show up on the back of the pastern, rain rot along the topline, fungal and skin issues, and minor burns or rashes. The wash cleans the area, the gel goes on after, and you can use them on their own or as a pair depending on what the wound calls for. For more serious systemic situations, SilverVet's Animal Aid is the oral companion in the same nano-silver family — but for surface wound care, the Power Silver Wash and Silver Gel combination is the core of the system.

They are made for topical use on common equine skin and wound problems, including scrapes, cuts, penetrating injuries, burns, skin rashes, scratches, rain rot, and bacterial or fungal skin issues.
No. They can be used separately or in combination. Many horse owners use the wash to clean the area and then apply the gel to keep it protected, but you can use whichever step the wound calls for.
Nano-silver refers to silver particles only a few nanometers across. SilverVet's Triple Defense Technology builds these tiny particles on a pure silver core so that a very small amount of silver can support a clean wound surface. The company designs the formula to keep working continuously while leaving beneficial probiotic bacteria alone.
SilverVet's philosophy is to rely on the natural antimicrobial properties of silver rather than harsh chemicals. The products are American made and formulated for use on animals. As with any wound care, follow the product directions and consult your veterinarian for serious, deep, or non-healing injuries.

For surface wounds and skin issues, the topical Power Silver Wash and Silver Gel are the core of the system. For more serious or systemic situations, SilverVet offers Animal Aid, an oral product in the same nano-silver family. Always work with your veterinarian on serious infections.
Both are intended for topical use. The general approach is to clean the affected area with the Power Silver Wash, then apply the Silver Gel to the cleaned skin to keep it coated. Follow the directions on the product packaging for the specific condition you are treating.
