Side by Side Comparison of: Miracle Care vs Nexcare

My cat had a large scab that was taking ages to heal, he eventually scratched the scab off and was left with a nasty wound that he kept scratching, and it kept bleeding, and my dog kept licking it. So I tried the liquid bandage spray, I managed to get one good spray on first time, it didnt seem to bother him, it seemed to dry just fine and completely withstood his vigorous scratching and the dogs licking. It healed super fast, I think it has a substance to aid healing and this really seemed to work. The wound was on his back and so hard for him to lick himself, so I can't say how effective this would be if he could have got to it more easily, but it really did work.

My boxer mix had some cuts on the ends of hears thanks to his brothers playful spirit and they just wouldn't heal! I finally got this stuff and only had to use it 2-3 times before the wounds healed! Wonderful product!

I have used on many scratches that my dog has had. A new puppy was biting him on the cheek. I would spray this on the area and would help keep it clean

why pay more for a tiny amount works great on "humans"the liquid bandage at big box story has a tiny amount and costs more---phewy on thatI'll just bark a bit while i put on my kid

My cat had a minor cut/sore from trying to shave off matted hair. I was very concerned about taking her to the vet. I saw this online and took a chance and it healed like gangbusters. It did not sting or hurt her and within 2 weeks the patch of hair grew back! I highly recommend this product!

Works as advertised and you get a LOT of product for the price compared to buying other spray bandage brands. This dries very fast and you can add medication over it which is a plus. Just be sure to wash and thoroughly dry the area to be sprayed with this liquid bandage first so it adheres properly.

This is an amazing product! I used to get it at the drug store but none of them carry it any longer. It does NOT burn like some of them do. I've had this wound for months and wound care nurses who were not familiar with stripable skin. After she tore my skin off with the tape, I was able to repair myself with this product. I fired that nurse, but have shown the other nurses how to remove tape more carefully and they are using this product on others who have tissue breakdown due to all the tape.

TRULY DOES NOT STING. Because my husband is going through chemo therapy, his cuts are very sensitive. This liquid bandage is definitely worth the price.

Product arrived on time, as expected and well packaged. Product is perfect for minor scrapes and cuts especially for children who do not care for painful second skin options who do not stay dry. Also perfect when bandaids are not ideal.... perfect for the hockey or skating mom always slicing their fingers

This is the best to use for little ones it doesn't sing and brings instant relief. I have used it on my kids since they were babies. It wears off after a few baths.

Love this stuff! I am an emergency physician, and a soccer mom, and I keep this in my first aid kit. It doesn't sting at all, unlike the other brands I have tried. It is a dirt magnet, like all skin glues. so I always warn everyone after I apply it that it will protect the scrape even though it attracts alot of dirt and looks horrible!!

I have a skin condition on my arms that makes it impossible to use ordinary bandages. My thin skin tares when I try to remove them. I have tried other liquid bandage products and they sting greatly and take for ever to dry. The smell of these others lingers for hours. The Nextcare spray bandage doesn't sting or smell. It dries fast and lasts for days. I am so happy the item is available on line since it is hard to find in drug stores.

It works OK.

Good first aid

A little messy to apply. Lots of oversprayTakes a while to dry - probably 3-5 minutes before the shine was gone. Otherwise it will wipe offI bought this specifically for my child with autism. He started chewing on his fingertips a lot when he got his first loose tooth. I actually bought a liquid bandaid marketed to humans but it took weeks to arrive. After the first week I ordered Miracle Care and had it shipped with prime. I did try it on myself first and we use it specifically before we use the kiddie pool. I don't think it stays on very long otherwise.It doesn't stop active bleeding, which I didn't expect. But, it does add a layer of protection for open wounds or the super delicate fine skin. Unfortunately we have 2 more loose teeth to deal with and this can help deter him from chewing on his hands. It did stay on in our kiddie pool but after an hour of play it seemed to come off pretty much. It does not sting though, so if you have been using the nail polish style stuff this is a good alternative that does not sting.

This anti itch spray seems to help my diabetic cats seasonal skin allergy.Along with an antibiotic, his scratching has stopped and the open scratch wounds are healing well!!

I have been using this spray to help my dogs heal from scratches and hot spots. It works wonderfully at keeping wounds clean, and works on those tough to bandage spots perfectly. Just make sure you clean out the wound first and keep your dog still for a few minutes after application to let it dry. My dogs are compulsive lickers, and this has only deterred that a little. It does discourage them from licking each other.Miracle Care First Aid Liquid Bandage has become a permanent part of my pet first aid kit.

I needed a spray bandage for my older dog because he kept chewing the conventional bandaging off. He even chewed one off with a cone on his head! I applied as directed and it definitely kept him from causing any further damage and he didn't get infected.

Doesn't cover well but works in a pinch

This is definitely no sting otherwise my 2 yr old would have screamed with there was more product in the small container.

Not a perfect seal on the first try, but much better than just letting a cut flow freely.

This is a really good idea, but it is little sticky. My kids didn't like how it was sticky after I sprayed it on. My oldest son washed it off right away because it bugged him so bad.

Works wonderfully, but goes on a little thinly. It does not sting at all. Works well over larger areas. For smaller areas or cuts use the Nextcare Skin Crack Care. Seals to keep the water out, but does wash/wear off over the course of a day so you will have to apply several times. Good stuff though!!! I'd really like to give this 4.5 stars rather than 4 because it's better than 4 stars.

My Dad has very thin skin and it tears very easily. He also has to take blood thinners and bleeds a lot, even if its just a scratch. He can't use bandaids on a wound, even minor one, because when he tries to remove the bandaid, the sticky on it tears his skin worse. This spray on bandage works really good. Only prob is to get the wound to stop his bleeding in order to apply on the spray. I would recommend this product. Very effective for the elderly with fragile skin.

It was okay when my dog gotten cut when i was cutting his nails and he was bleeding so i spary to his wound but it was still bleeding. the spary didnt stop the bleeding so I dont think it actullly work for my case.

works as advertised but not bitter enough to keep my dog from chewing her leg and foot.

I'm sure this works on many things, but it does not deter my dog at all from licking her "hot spots", on her front legs. Doesn't even slow her down! Does seem to help them heal a little, as long as she has a cone on.

I love the concept but not sure if it works. I know it smells and burns but it made my dog want to like more. I did make him leave it alone until it dried but to be fair he was licking it before and after so just not sure.

Takes quite awhile to dry, and does not stay on very well, but good for emergencies when nothing else is available. My dog licks it right off if he can reach it.

This is supposed to have some bitter tasting element in it but it can't be that bad because it didn't keep my dog from licking himself. My hope for this product was to help deter his licking and biting during his rough allergy seasons. Maybe if your dog doesn't have any other issues this might help, but like I said it didn't stop him from licking himself.He has all year long allergies and sometimes the prednisone RX from the vet and the additional items I give him aren't enough to keep him from licking or biting.He also takes (all bought from amazon):Omega-Caps ES - For Large & Giant Dogs (250 Softgel Capsules) (these are much cheaper and work the same as AllerG - 3 Large Giant Breed 250 Capsules.)Pet-Tabs Plus - 365 ctIf he's doing really bad I'll give him Benadryl as well, but the next step is a $100 vet trip for a shot :(

meh. not impressed

I primarily bought this item for my 3 y/o daughter who hates and will not wear any type of bandages. It did the job and did not sting which was great! When I tried it on myself I found it to be VERY sticky upon applying and really didn't hold the blood in from my small cut. So if you are going to use this item make sure the bleeding has stopped before applying. Other than that it was a great purchase.

A pain to apply on parts distant from the bottle in one's hand. For example, aiming for the sweet spot on a foot is an exercise, hit, miss, and maybe. The bottle is very small, the mist sprayed outward and or downward, is diffuse, colorless, and prone to drift past its destination, in other words, it's wasted, most of it. If it gets there, and th at's hard to see on initial application, it does its job and lasts for a bit, but only a bit. It is also rather expensive, considering the amt. wasted . I will not buy again. Wish it had been a better product within in a more intelligent spray and mist container. There is no indicator, for example of where the spray is emitted. A little dab of color could easily accomplish that. And make application a darned sight more thrifty

A quick & effective way of covering a minor wound when there os no time to do proper bandaging. Not a substitute for a proper bandage.

I have no idea what kind of pain tolerance a person must have to think of this as "painful"---anyway, it doesn't go on in one coat (so it wont last long)and you really do have to re-do it after every shower. Unless my scrape was too deep and long---but that is exactly what they say it is meant for?

Doesn't sting or smell yet works for light duty cuts. New Skin is better for heavy cuts, I once stopped a deep glass cut on my leg with New Skin that this Nexcare is not thick enough to handle. Nexcare would be great for kids light cuts with New Skin as a backup for heaver cuts.

Just not what I was looking for it was so drippy and I never got a sense of a bandage at all...I'm not sure what I expected but I couldn't use this.

My dog had an open wound on her paw that she kept licking. For the first few days, the spray worked but eventually, she went back to licking her paw.

Must have been in a hurry to find liquid bandage at a good price. "Miracle Care First Aid Liquid Bandage 4 ounce" doesn't really convey the point that it's for dogs, not humans. I found out too late for a return. Could be a great dog product. Isn't designed and may not be appropriate for humans .

I have tried to use this many time on my dogs leg. I will spray his leg and then for the first few minutes make him wear a cone until the spray is dry. As soon as I take off the cone he starts licking it off. I have even tried spraying his leg and not putting the cone on thinking if the spray eas wet the bitterness would be more intense but that did not stop him at all.The low rating is primarily for anti-chew part.

Cat has non-bleeding open chewed wounds on paw pads.Sprayed on wound.Let it dry for 5 minutes.Cat immediately licked it off.Tried this process several times.This product does not harden like Band-Aid brand Liquid Bandage.Recommendation from my veterinarian is to allow wound to be open and cat to walk on it as normal - even in litter box. And, we just clean it daily. No bandages, no sprays. Just keep it cleaned daily and allow to heal naturally. Prevent cat from biting it - use a flexible cone collar.

Was supposed to dry and leave a protective film. It didn't. Stayed wet and sticky. Also, the bitterness didn't keep her from licking her wound. Had to resort to the cone of shame.

Seems like a nice product. Unbelievably skimpy as far as number of applications for the money spent. This is a little bottle of specialized liquid. I feel that its price greatly outweighs its value due to the small portion you get in a single spray bottle of it.

Doesn't really seem to do anything. Spray it on and the cut feels the same. Other liquid bandage makes a sealant over the cut.

Shipping took a long time. Product wears off quickly, have to reapply several times on my hand in an hour. Good thing is it did not sting.

Doesn't seem thick enough to protect well.

Just okay at doing its job. Makes a very thin coating, so additional coats are usually needed. Rather expensive too for the amount given. I wonder how they figured they would make the quantity .61 fl oz instead of simply .6. The .01 extra is probably the amount that cannot be extracted from the bottle. I prefer Gluture flexible super glue for tissue.

I usually use the brush-on liquid bandage, but I recently acquired 2 new kittens, which means lots of leg scratches and cuts. I figured this would be an easier to use version, but it's not. It's almost not even noticeable, and doesn't really seal anything (even light scratches bleed through it).

Didn't work at all. The dogs clearly don't like the taste, but it doesn't stay on long enough to matter. A couple of licks and it's off and they can continue licking non-stop.

This not only irritated my dog's skin, it did not dry or cover the wound at all. She actually kept licking after applying the bandage, which then made her sick as well.

Didn't stop my dogs from licking off (other) lotion, didn't stop chewing skin, didn't clear up skin ...didn't seem to work well for anything. Water consistency, hard to apply.

This is the tiniest, most expensive bottle of ALCOHOL I've ever bought! Seriously, the first ingredient is 70% isopropyl alcohol, the second ingredient is water! Whoever decided to call this "lotion" obviously doesn't know what lotion is. This is a clear liquid! Since it's mostly alcohol, it evaporates within a few minutes. You would be better off buying the bitter apple spray.

This product is another waste of money. After following the application directions, my dog proceeded to Lick the affected area more than before using this product. Also the sprayer clogged up after two applications.

After reading reviews, we thought this might work for our poodle mix who has some itchy places. Not only didn't it work, it even may have made the problem worse in that she started scratching even more. Now we're looking at going grain-free on her dog food, an expensive solution and hopefully helpful.

Disappointed. After two short sprays the bottle is almost empty. Also does not have any pain control. I prefer dermoplast.

I will never buy it again it didn't work and it did sting

This is fairly worthless now that I had to use it. I sprayed on maybe ten coats and it essentially did nothing. No coverage, and whatever touched the cut i could still feel through many coats of this junk.

Does not sting but does not provide decent protection either.

The bottle was half-full on arrival. I used it once and it did okay. The next time I tried to use it the sprayer was clogged and nothing I tried cleared it (hot water, etc). So my recommendation is DO NOT BUY.

This stuff really doesn't work very well, and it leaves a very sticky residue all over the place. Definitely not worth it, no sting or not. It just doesn't do the job.
