You should not use Betadine if a patient is allergic to iodine. Betadine contains approximately 1% iodine, which could be enough to cause an allergic reaction.
An alternative to iodine for disinfecting wounds is povidone-iodine, also known as betadine. In cooking, you can sometimes use sea salt or seaweed as substitutes for iodized salt.
If a patient is allergic to betadine, most commonly, a physician will use alcohol as a prep. This is the case with an iodine allergy as well.

A 5% betadine solution is best for dogs and cats. Mainly use for aseptically cleaning of wounds and surgical suture (after spaying and neutering). Watch for excessive discharge on the wound site, if this happens. Flush it with saline solution and the betadine to dry it. Minimize the use of betadine to once every other day and watch for allergic reaction. If your dogs or cats are allergic to seafood, DO NOT USE it. Consult a nearest DVM if symptoms persist. Be kind to animals. Yours truly, Jon D. DVM.
