Hot spots that don't involve free internet are no fun, especially for dogs (and their owners).

Canine hot spots are generally caused by scratching and licking at itching due to allergies and worsen with time and aggravation. Some can be small and treated with relative ease.

Others can escalate as the dog scratches and agitates it, causing it to spread and even leading to fur loss and further lesions - like poor Samson here.

Thankfully, hotspots fall right into Lavengel's wheelhouse, as Samson's owner Kelli found out:

“When we adopted Samson, he had a hotspot that, when mixed with anxious scratching, quickly covered his entire back. After applying Lavengel for approximately 2 weeks, his wounds were almost completely healed. He was very hesitant to let us touch him with anything when we first got him, but eventually he learned the Lavengel bottle and would allow us to put it on him. His back is looking so much better!”
