A legacy of efficacy

America's Trusted Name in Animal Care Since 1871

Sturtevant’s Veterinary Remedies began as Columbia Veterinary Remedies in the late 1800s, making salves, liniments and powders for the skin ailments of farm animals. In 1988 the brand was renamed to honor the 150th anniversary of our founder’s birth.

Our remedies became a global name for treating wounds in horses — collar gall, pastern dermatitis and proud flesh — and today serve large and small animals alike with natural, organic products held to the highest standards of efficacy and safety.

We see animal health differently

One Powder. Four Ways to Help Skin Heal.

Most wound-care products do one or two of these things. Sturtevant’s antiseptic powders were formulated to do all four.

Antibacterial

Broad-spectrum antiseptic action to help protect wounds from harmful bacteria.

Gentle on minor cuts

Safe to apply directly to scrapes, abrasions and minor cuts — no rinsing required.

Promotes drying

Creates a dry, clean surface that supports the natural healing process.

Microbiome friendly

Formulated to work with the skin's natural balance of healthy bacteria while it heals.

What our customers say

Kept in the Barn for Generations

My dog recently had hip surgery. The veterinarian advised me to apply F.C. Sturtevant Veterinary Antiseptic Powder to his wound to promote the healing. My dog healed so well there is hardly any evidence of the surgery.

— R. Hershberger

I remember that my grandfather always kept Columbia Veterinary Antiseptic Powder in the barn. Whenever his horses had abrasions or gall conditions he would treat them with the powder and the horses seemed to get better almost overnight.

— Horse owner

I am an avid duck hunter and my dogs have a tendency to develop swimmer’s ear. I have been using Columbia Veterinary Antiseptic Powder to treat this condition with great success.

— Sporting dog owner
