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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Cured my dog's hotspot allergy

    My dog had gotten like a really severe hot spot/allergic reaction to something. Had to trim her hair down and putting this on those hot spot areas did the trick!

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.

Animated icon depicting vitamin E TPGS, one of Lavengel's key healing antioxidants

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.

Animated icon depicting zinc, one of Lavengel's key wound-healing ingredients

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.

Animated icon depicting vitamin C, one of Lavengel's key healing antioxidants

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.

Animated icon depicting water, one of Lavengel's ingredients

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.

  • Acute moist dermatitis (hot spot) on neck of golden retriever under collar
  • Hand holding brown dog paw with hot spot and fur loss on top
  • Small acute moist dermatitis hot spot lesions on dog's tail with surrounding fur loss
  • Acute moist dermatitis hot spot on bottom of white dog's foot
  • Acute moist dermatitis hot spot under left ear of golden retriever
  • Acute moist dermatitis (hotspot) on top of dog's hind leg
  • Hotspot on neck of golden retriever with fur shaved

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.

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.

My Yellow Lab Was Healed!

Lavengel for Dogs has been a miracle worker for my yellow lab! This product has effectively reduced skin irritations and itching, providing much-needed relief.

Healing spot

I just wanted to say that this stuff really works! My Lizzie had a bad spot on her chest where she was scratching and this product is healing it nicely and faster then another product I was using. Wish I had pictures to show the difference but I overlooked that. I was so worried about her. Now we can both relax! I'll put it on her until it heals totally.

Great company and great product!

I have been using the product for 3 days & have already seen great improvement in the rash my dog has had for over a month. The company’s website was also a great resource for identifying different types of rashes, their causes, and how to treat them. My dog doesn’t mind having the ointment applied and doesn’t lick it. Love this product and definitely recommend it!
