How to Apply
Remember, a little bit goes a long way. All you need is a thin layer for the gel to work.
1. Make sure the skin is clean and any bleeding has stopped.
2. Apply the gel 2 to 3 times per day to the affected skin area.
3. Keep your pup distracted for a few minutes so that the gel has a chance to absorb.
Once they notice the lack of irritation, they tend to leave it alone. If they lick it off, you'll want to reapply it.
4. If they won't leave it alone, use a bandage and/or Elizabethan collar (cone) to prevent them from aggravating the area.
Because Lavengel® has a strong lavender scent when it is first applied, be cautious when using it on or near your dog’s nose. The scent will dissipate quickly.

Soothed my dog's hot spots immediately
It helps my Shih Tzu with her hot spots caused by licking and scratching. It seems to start working almost immediately after being applied!
-- O.R.

Healed a hotspot and a paw wound
Ordered this to try to keep from taking my dogs to the vet again. Within 3 days it healed my older dog's wound on her toe and my younger dog's hot spot. 10/10 will buy again and would recommend.

This hotspot cream works AMAZING !!
Our Shepherd Husky mix has a hot spot on her tail. We ordered when we were at our wits end with her whining and biting her tail. We applied it and within 5 minutes we noticed a HUGE improvement with discomfort and itching.
-- Kevin B.
-
Better than her oral hot spot meds
Everyone needs this remarkable product in their home. I first used Lavengel as an anti-itch ointment for my dog’s hot spots - much more effective than her oral meds from the vet. I will never be without it while traveling!
-- Joanne T.

No more hotspot and less itching
A great product. Soothed hot spots and seemed to reduce itching. So much better than all the other products I’ve tried. My labrador has chronic pyoderma and this has been what has helped.

5 Simple, Safe Ingredients
Made with 5 simple ingredients, Lavengel’s patented formula is safe to lick and effective in promoting hot spot relief + healing.
-
Clinically Proven
Lavengel® is based on over 14 years of meticulous university research and has been used by vets on thousands of dogs (and counting).
Treat Your Dog's Hot Spot with Lavengel®
-
Gently Clean + Dry
Carefully clean the area with a mild soap and pat dry with a soft towel. You may need to trim excess fur in or around the area.
-
Apply Lavengel
Lightly massage the ointment onto the area 2-3 times daily. Because it’s concentrated, A Dot on the Spot® is all you need.
-
Distract Your Pup
Use a treat or toy to keep your dog from licking the gel so it can absorb and begin to relieve the itch and discomfort.
Dog Hot Spot Healing Stages
-
Raw, Sore Spot
Kierra the Siberian Husky had a large red lesion on her groin. Her vet clinic shaved and cleaned the area, then applied Lavengel®.
-
Quick Relief + Progress
The wound responded to treatment within the first few days. At home, the area was cleaned twice daily and Lavengel® applied.
-
Restored + Fur Regrowth
Her skin was completely healed within about 2 weeks from the first application, with visible fur regrowth. Her owner was thrilled!
Five Simple Ingredients, Four Potent Antioxidants
We believe that:
1. True wellness comes through good nutrition, not just medication.
2. Proper, effective wound healing can be done with the right antioxidants, or as we like to call it, smart molecular nutrition.
That’s it. We don't do harmful chemicals or preservatives - just clever, research-proven approach using nature's own powerful antioxidants.
Lavender Oil
What does lavender oil do?
Lavender has been used in various forms of therapy and healing since ancient times.
With skin irritations, lavender oil can provide a temporary analgesic (relieving) effect, but this effect is very short-lived since the oil does not effectively absorb into the skin on its own.
That's where Lavengel® comes in.
Our formula allows our organic lavender oil to absorb quickly and calm your dog's hot spots and itching within a matter of seconds.
Vitamin E TPGS
What does Vitamin E TPGS do?
TPGS is a unique form of Vitamin E that is water-soluble.
This means that, unlike normal Vitamin E (which is fat-soluble), it can penetrate the skin barrier - making it highly absorbent.
Not only that, TPGS also possesses the ability to encapsulate the other ingredients, making them water-soluble (i.e., more absorbable), too.
This ensures faster, more complete, and more lasting effects.
All said, this absorption capability, plus Vitamin E's natural capacity as an antioxidant, allows for enhanced wound hydration, irritation relief, and overall heal time - plus a reduction in scar tissue formation.
Zinc
What does zinc do?
Zinc is a vital trace mineral for all mammals.
It is crucial for supporting the immune system, which is responsible for fighting off infections and repairing damaged skin.
Within Lavengel®, zinc fights off free radicals that slow the healing process and helps provide the building blocks for collagen and keratin - the key proteins in skin and hair.
Vitamin C
What does Vitamin C do?
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is another nutrient that is vital for a myriad of processes in the body, like tissue growth, bones, cartilage, and blood vessels.
On top of that, Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that works wonders in healing wounds when properly applied.
In our formula, Vitamin C palmitate uses its antioxidant powers along with the zinc and Vitamin E to combat free radicals and form new collagen.
Water
Water you waiting for?
It's hard to argue with water.
All creatures need it, and it serves as a wonderful base for topical products.
Our deionized-distilled water (i.e. as pure as it gets) holds all of its fellow ingredients in an easy-to-apply gel with a consistency similar to honey.
What Causes Hot Spots on Dogs?
A hotspot (or acute moist dermatitis) is a raw, red, and inflamed patch of skin caused by a dog’s repetitive scratching, rubbing, and chewing at itchy skin.
Hotspots are commonly found on the head, neck, hips, paws, and tail. The initial irritation can come from fleas, moisture, allergies, or rubbing by a collar or harness.
Hotspots can occur to any dog, but breeds such as golden retrievers, bulldogs, German Shepherds, labradors, and huskies are more prone to them.
What Do Hot Spots Look Like on Dogs?
Here are a few photo examples of what hot spots can look like on a dog. We do, however, recommend consulting your vet for an accurate diagnosis.
Vet Tested, Vet Approved
Several years ago, Dr. Karen Stone, DVM, became the first veterinarian to try Lavengel® on canines, and she hasn’t looked back since. Hear her story for yourself:
"Compared to an OTC product or a lot of other veterinary products, I like it because it works quickly, effectively - and the most important part is, it’s completely non-toxic.
We Give to Help Rescue Dogs + Heroes
For every tube of Lavengel® sold, we donate to Companions for Heroes® (C4H), a non-profit organization that rescues dogs that might otherwise be euthanized.
C4H trains these rescue-dogs to be companion or service dogs, then pairs them - completely free-of-charge - with military personnel, veterans, and first-responders recovering from PTSD and other difficult trauma.
C4H also works to raise awareness for animal rescue, PTSD, and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
