Expert Answer

A dog’s minor wound usually forms a scab within two to five days if kept clean and protected, with healing continuing over one to two weeks. Depth and location affect the timeline.

Clean the wound, prevent licking with a cone, and follow vet care. See a vet if it looks infected or fails to scab.
