Aniwell Animal Care Products: Trusted for Over 40 Years
It all started in 1970, when Kiwi-brand Aniwell set out to solve a big problem for farmers in New Zealand: Facial Eczema in cattle and sheep.
This nasty skin condition, caused by sun exposure, was wreaking havoc on the dairy and wool industries. So, Aniwell stepped in to provide farmers with what they needed to help their livestock. The result was FiltaBac, their very first product, designed to protect non-pigmented skin from the harsh sun (known to be particularly brutal in New Zealand!) and provide antibacterial protection.
With a hands-on, practical attitude, the brand's "Yes, we can do that!" ethos quickly set them apart. Today, Aniwell is recognised across New Zealand, Australia, and the UK for its innovative animal care solutions, bringing the same level of care to all kinds of animals, from farm animals to pets.
Discover the Aniwell Range: Proven Protection and Healing
FiltaBac is where it all started, and it’s still one of the most widely used products in the Aniwell range.
This bestseller essentially serves as an antibacterial wound cream and sunblock all rolled into one, helping with general sun protection and treating wounds on horses, cattle, sheep, dogs, and cats. It offers cover application that mimics the properties of natural skin, allowing undamaged skin and skin cells to breathe while guarding against further damage and preventing external contaminants.
It's worth noting that the formulation varies depending on where it’s sold. In the UK, for instance, FiltaBac uses Bronopol BP and Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol (DCBA) as the antibacterial, antifungal and preservative agents, while in New Zealand, it's Benzalkonium chloride.
Specialised Pet Care for Happy, Healthy Animals
For animals with sensitive skin or those who are more prone to sunburn, FiltaClear offers the perfect solution. This clear sunblock is designed to provide protection from UV damage without the added antibacterial elements. It's ideal for pets like cats, who may be particularly sensitive, or for animals that need sunblock protection but don’t require the same level of wound care.
And Aniwell’s AMHVet cream harnesses the natural healing power of Manuka Honey, which has long been praised for its antibacterial properties. The cream is an anhydrous formula containing 25% Active Manuka Honey with a certified activity factor of 15+. This makes it perfect for soothing wounds, treating irritations, and supporting the healing of skin cells and various skin conditions.
Why Choose Aniwell for Your Animal Care
When it comes to your animals, you want products that are safe, effective, and backed by decades of experience. Aniwell delivers all three.
Firstly, their first aid and healing products are veterinary-approved, meaning they’ve been tried, tested, and are up to professional standards. You get the benefit of years of research and development that has gone into making sure these products really work.
Secondly, another reason Aniwell is a favourite is the natural ingredients they use in their formulations. Manuka Honey is a great example of this, helping treat your animals without relying on harsh chemicals to do the job.
Finally, the products are all about giving your animals that extra layer of care. Whether it’s sunburn protection, soothing irritated skin, correcting damaged skin, or providing wound protection without needing a dressing, these formulas are designed to be there when your animals need them most.
What Makes Aniwell Pet Care Products Safe to Use?
We all want the best for our animals, and that starts with using products we can trust. Aniwell’s entire approach is based on safety and effectiveness, so you can feel good about what you’re using.
Vets across New Zealand, Australia, and the UK trust these products because they’ve been tested and refined over decades. And let’s face it, you want to know the products you’re using have gone through proper vet approval!
With Aniwell, you get that reassurance, whether you’re looking for a simple sunblock or something to help with a more serious skin condition like eczema or insect bites.
Are these Aniwell Creams & Lotions Suitable for All Animals?
This is one of the biggest concerns when it comes to pet care products, and it’s an important one. If you live a rural life, you'll likely have lots of animals to take care! So it can be frustrating trying to figure out which products are safe for each one.
Whether you’ve got a dog, a cat, horses, or livestock like sheep and cattle, Aniwell’s creams and lotions are formulated to work on all of them. So instead of having a bunch of different products lying around, you can rely on this range for pretty much any situation.
How to Apply Aniwell Products for Maximum Results
Getting the best out of Aniwell’s products is simple, but it’s always worth knowing a few tips to ensure your animals get the full benefit. The application method varies slightly depending on the product you’re using, but a few general rules apply across the board.
For FiltaBac, apply a generous amount to the area needing protection or treatment. This cream is designed to stay on the skin and create a protective barrier, so there’s no need to worry about it rubbing off quickly. FiltaClear is also easy to use - just rub it into sensitive areas like ears and noses until it’s fully absorbed. With AMHVet, however, because it’s a honey-based cream, it’s thicker than your average product, so a small amount goes a long way.
We always advise following the instructions on the bottle for the most effective application.
