Wire2Wire Vet Products by Dr. Michael Cavey D.V.M.

When a horse comes back from the paddock with a scrape, an abrasion, or a stubborn patch of irritated skin, you want something on the shelf you actually trust. Wire2Wire Vet Products built its whole catalog around that idea. Founded in 2005 by two veterinarians and an equine insurance executive, the company holds to one rule: they only sell products they use on their own animals first. That standard is why the SilvaPlex line of patented chelated-silver products sits at the heart of what they offer.

Who is behind Wire2Wire Vet Products?

Wire2Wire is led by Dr. Michael Cavey, D.V.M., a graduate of the College of William and Mary and the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Cavey ran a successful equine practice for decades and built Respite Farm into a respected Thoroughbred breeding and racing operation in Kentucky, home to Eclipse Award-winning champions including Uncle Mo and Champagne Room. That background matters here: the products Wire2Wire sells are shaped by someone who has spent a career caring for high-performance horses, and they are field-tested in demanding barns before they ever reach a customer. The company is headquartered in Paris, Kentucky, with SilvaPlex manufactured in the USA in an FDA-inspected, GMP-approved facility.

What makes SilvaPlex silver technology different?

Silver has a long history in animal and human care, but most over-the-counter silver products rely on unstable colloidal or ionic suspensions where particle sizes vary and potency drifts. SilvaPlex takes a different route with its patented Ag21 complex, a chelated silver bonded to citric acid so the silver stays evenly distributed and active in solution. The result is a more predictable, consistent formula. SilvaPlex pairs that silver with an advanced chitosan compound and natural, biodegradable, Ecocert-approved ingredients, and the formulations are pH-balanced and made to be safe for daily use on horses, dogs, cats, and livestock.

How can SilvaPlex support a wound-care routine?

The SilvaPlex Original Silver Wound Gel and the SilvaPlex Silver Wound Spray are made for topical use on minor cuts, abrasions, lacerations, and minor burns, helping form a protective antimicrobial layer over the area. The gel is straightforward to use: cleanse the affected area thoroughly, apply a generous amount directly to the wound, then either leave it exposed or cover it with a sterile bandage, repeating one to three times daily as needed. The spray is a tidy option for spots that are awkward to reach or sensitive to touch. Both are intended to support a clean, well-managed healing environment as part of your normal care routine, not to replace your veterinarian's guidance on serious injuries.

What does SilvaPlex offer beyond wounds?

The Silva Plex line reaches across skin, coat, and general wellness. The Ag21 Silver Pet Shampoo is pH-balanced so regular use helps preserve an animal's natural oils while supporting healthy skin and a vibrant coat, and a Waterless No-Rinse Shampoo handles quick clean-ups between baths. SilvaPlex 100 PPM Chelated Silver is offered as a natural immune-support solution, and SilverZyme Otic Ear Drops round out the everyday-care lineup. Alongside SilvaPlex, Wire2Wire also carries the Flexineb E3 portable equine nebulizer for respiratory support and the Endo-Lite portable endoscope light source, giving barns and clinics a focused set of tools from a single trusted source.
