Cosmo Canker Powder

You know us for canker powder. You love us for canker powder. Some of you practically bathe your pets in it (we see you, Sharon). But we’ve been hiding something behind the scenes and it’s finally time to spill the (non-toxic, pet-safe) beans.

We’ve been working day and night, through Royal Mail delays and sticker design drama, to bring you a brand-new product that’s so essential, your pet’s first aid box might just cry tears of joy.

Introducing…

✨ Cosmo Styptic Powder ✨

Coming August – or September if our printer has another meltdown.

It’s bold. It’s fast-acting. It stops the bleeding (literally). And if you’ve ever accidentally nicked your dog’s nail too short during a home grooming session, this powder will be your new best friend — after your dog, obviously.

What Is Styptic Powder (And Why Should You Care)?

Styptic powder is one of those things you don’t think about until you need it — usually in a mild panic, when your dog gives you the betrayed eyes after a quick nail clip gone wrong. We’ve all been there.

Styptic powder is a fast-acting, clot-promoting substance used to stop minor bleeding. It’s most commonly used for:

Nail trims that go a smidge too far
Minor cuts and grazes
Tiny surface wounds (on paws, pads, and ears)

Basically, it’s the pet-safe version of that weird burning powder box your grandad used to have in his shaving drawer.

Our version? A modern upgrade.

Why Are We Launching Styptic Powder Now?

Because you asked for it. Well, not directly. But enough of our loyal canker powder customers mentioned it in passing, in reviews, emails, or late-night DMs (don’t worry, we love those).

Over time, we noticed a pattern:

You trust us to provide reliable, time-tested ear and skin care for your pets.

You adore the gentle but powerful formula of Cosmo Canker Powder.

And when you’re panicking mid-groom with a bleeding dew claw and no backup, you wish we also sold styptic powder.

So we made it happen.

Meet the New Addition to the Cosmo Crew

We’ve spent months testing, tweaking, and arguing over label fonts to bring you a styptic powder that actually works – fast, clean, and without unnecessary nasties.

Here’s what makes our formula special:

✅ Vet-Approved – We’re not just throwing cornflour in a jar and calling it a day.

✅ Grit-Free Application – Finely milled for precise dabbing, not clumping.

✅ No Stinging Sensation – Your pet won’t hate you afterward.

✅ Gentle Enough for Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, and Ferrets – Because pets don’t come in one size.

✅ Packaged in a Practical Screw-Top Jar – Because spill disasters in your grooming bag are so last season.

We’ve also made sure it doesn’t look like a 1950s barbershop item. Our upcoming packaging is clean, modern, and matches the vibe of our Cosmo range. If you’re a label nerd like us, you’re going to love it.

Why You Shouldn’t Wait Until It’s Bleeding

Let’s be honest: most people don’t buy first aid supplies until they’re already in crisis mode.

But styptic powder is one of those “better safe than sorry” items, especially if:

You groom your pet at home
Your pet plays rough or is prone to small injuries
You live in a multi-pet household (aka chaos)
You own a small animal with delicate nails or thin skin (hello, bunnies)

Having it on hand can save you:

A trip to the vet
A blood-stained carpet
Your sanity

And no — kitchen flour or cornstarch won’t work as well. Those are myths best left in 2008 pet forums.

Canker Powder + Styptic Powder = The Dynamic Duo

Let’s not forget our OG hero: Cosmo Canker Powder. Still handmade, still unbeatable for ears, skin folds, and hotspot flare-ups.

The dream scenario?

You’ve got both in your cupboard.

One powder tackles infection, mites, and gunk.

The other handles accidental nicks, minor wounds, and sudden bleeds.

It’s like the Batman and Robin of pet care. Except fluffier. And with less leather.

When Is It Coming?

Our official launch will be:

🗓 Late August – or Early September at the latest

🛍 Available exclusively on our website: www.canker.co.uk

📦 Buy alone, or bundle with Cosmo Canker Powder for a first aid kit that’s actually worth having

Real Talk: Why This Isn’t Just Another Random Pet Product

There are tons of styptic powders on the market. Most are:

Poorly labelled
Stale as cardboard
Laced with outdated ingredients
Packaged like they belong in a 1980s vet surgery

We weren’t happy with that. You deserve better. So we made it better — just like we did with Cosmo Canker Powder.

And we didn’t rush it either. Our formulation has gone through:

✔️ Ingredient safety testing

✔️ Field testing by our trusted vets

✔️ Application trials on our own dogs (and brave cats)

It works. It works quickly. And it doesn’t make your pet smell like chemicals or yelp in pain.

Why Our Customers Deserve This

We wouldn’t even be here without our regulars.

You’ve supported us through Royal Mail strikes, copycat listings, TikTok buyer tantrums, and endless “does it treat mange?” questions. You come back because our products do what they say. You’re the reason we can continue formulating niche, effective, and honest pet care.

This new launch? It’s for you.

To make your life easier.

To support your pets the way they deserve.

And to show the industry that small businesses do it better.

What’s Next?

More handmade, thoughtful products are in the works — but for now, we’re just trying to get these bloody (pun intended) stickers printed. Our canker powder finally has a buddy. And we cannot wait for you to try it.

We’ll post updates on Instagram and Threads soon — including behind-the-scenes clips of our very official product testing team (aka our dogs and cats acting dramatic).
