Healers Hot Spot Relief Hydrocortisone Dog & Cat Ointment, 4-oz bottle

We adopted Wally, a poodle mix many, many years ago, who at the time had a severe, chronic and untreated case of mange. Our vet warned us that despite treatment, he'd always have "elephant skin" and would be prone to flare-ups, likely due to flea bites. Until this year he didn't have any flare-ups because I always kept on top of the flea issue, but the fleas this year are beyond horrible, worse than they've ever been, due to the drought and hot weather, so wildlife is forced to seek water in peoples' gardens, and with the wildlife come fleas and ticks. Despite me regularly bombing my home with flea bombs, spraying the yard, treating my dogs topically every month and shampooing them in between We adopted Wally, a poodle mix many, many years ago, who at the time had a severe, chronic and untreated case of mange.

Despite me regularly bombing my home with flea bombs, spraying the yard, treating my dogs topically every month and shampooing them in between with flea shampoo, treating their bedding (and mine) with flea spray...Wally got a massive flare-up. I think I bought every product Chewy (and other pet product vendors) sell. Shampoos, creams, dips, sprays...you name it and his skin still looked like raw hamburger. Whatever relief he got was short-lived. He was miserable. Until I got this. I applied it and within minutes he was calm and wasn't trying to chew his skin off. Within a few hours his skin had returned to its normal pink shade rather than the inflamed red it had been. He also doesn't lick or chew the areas of application, so no worries about him ingesting it. I was so gobsmacked at how well it worked, I told my vet, and now he's recommending it. Thank you, thank you, Chewy! You've saved my poor dog. … more

Wish I would have taken before an after pics! My dog gets really has grass allergies from mid to late summer and Zyrtec stopped doing anything. I literally used this once and it gave him immediate relief, I haven't reapplied yet and he's still licking/chewing his paws and legs significantly less, almost not at all. Seems like this product could tackle multiple issues and it's pretty cheap so I def recommend giving it a try!

I picked up this product because my poor kitty was seriously itchy due to hyperthyroidism and had been chewing and scratching hair off of his face and back. After getting his levels balanced, the healing skin was still so itchy he couldn’t stop messing with it. Using this ointment two or three times a day has reduced the itchiness to a point where the skin has had time to heal and his fur is growing back in. I’m very glad I decided to try Healers Hot Spot Relief!

This product really helped my dog with the itching and promoted healing of the lesions that were present. With just a week of continued use - I saw such Great improvement that by the time my dog got to the Vet - almost all of the lesions were healed up.

My puppy is a rescue and came to me with hot spots on his shoulders and hind quarters. He’s leave them alone during the day but not at night. I put this on after putting him in his kennel and he left the spots alone. They are finally starting to heal!

This may have a medicinal smell but it works. I have used it on puppy's face and body. He got deodemix mites. I washed him in sulfur based shampoo with sulphur lime dip to kill them. Inbetween I put this on him I looked up the ingredients and they also helped kill any potential I infection. This is. a battle killing these mites. Had the before but not this bad. This cream helps alot.

Order and delivery process is the best. In addition, the products work as expected at half the cost.

Emmy had a bad reaction to a topical flea med. it’s been a struggle since. I would get it cleared up and then she would start over grooming again. This has been going on for quite awhile. Then I found Healers. The first picture is before first application and the second is just 8 days later. I applied twice/day and I bought a shirt for her as well. She hasn’t shown any desire to lick the areas and seems much more relaxed. And her fur is growing back in. There is a strong smell but it’s not offensive to me or her. I would definitely recommend!!

I was hesitant about trying this because I have been struggling to find something that will help my puppy with her hot spots and to stop itching so much. In order to help protect her skin the best way I could, I had to go buy children’s onesies and turn them into doggie clothes for my puppy. (Pictures included) I went to the vet twice and they gave me the same prescription both times but it didn’t work! She had an ear infection which then lead to a skin infection. She was miserable! Months of trial and error tests to determine what would work best for her and I finally found this product. I’ve been using this cream for almost a month and I’m so happy with the results.

And I don’t have to buy & tailor children’s clothes anymore. Happy Dog Mom! Definitely recommend this product. ***If your dog absolutely hates it try adding water to the cream and putting it in a spray bottle. It works just as well and it will last longer*** … more

One of my cats has a hot spot from past exposure to a herbicide or pesticide and has had it for years. This ointment soothes his skin and he doesn't mind the scent. However, my other cat has problems with anxiety and chews at his back. When I can get this on him, it helps but as soon as he smells it, he runs away. It does work, though and I like the scent myself.
