Unfortunately, hot spots are a common skin complaint affecting both dogs and cats. Also known as ‘moist dermatitis’, these infected patches of skin can cause considerable pain and stress for your fur baby. Though they are not life threatening, they do not resolve without treatment, and often require intervention from your veterinarian. There are many triggers that can lead to the development of hot spots, from allergies to stress, but with the right treatment your pet will enjoy a full recovery.
