drop of cut n heal on it,be fine.

Would definitely say a couple of stitches or staples needed there. Don't think it will heal otherwise.

heal a lot quicker with a few stitches in it

personally i would put a couple of staples in it but i have seen these wounds heal fine when they are just kept clean.

looks like stitch or two mate -but i have had dogs that healed without [took longer though]

it will heal,it will just take longer and leave a bigger scar if not stapled

It wil heal on its own won't stitch or staple that dog will clean it

Bit of manuka honey 15+ (£4.99 in Aldi) will help it mate

stitch it then it's job done other wise the dog will lick it and keep it open making the healing time much long ie no work for the dog
