N2 - Background: Oral and cutaneous warts are the most frequent manifestation of papillomavirus disease in dogs. These warts typically have a cauliflower-like structure forming around the mouth, eyes, or other mucosal membranes. Treatments are limited, but when left untreated, these warts will commonly resolve within 3–12 months. Case presentation: This case series demonstrates the successful use of a topical botanical formulation leading to resolution of canine papilloma virus (CPV) warts in approximately 9 days. The four botanicals utilized included Sarracenia purpurea, Melissa officinalis, Hypericum perforatum, and Glycyrrhiza glabra. Conclusions: These botanicals may offer a less invasive, effective, and safe alternative in the treatment of CPV.
