is this safe for livestock

Will my dog hair grow back where the hot spot is?

Answer by Chewy • Aug 22, 2018
It is very possible to grow the hair back from the spots where hair was lost, however, sometimes lesions can be severe enough to damage hair follicles and affect hair growth.

How much/what percentage of Hydrocortisone is in this product? & lidocane, if anyone has the specific specs for this product.

Answer by Chewy • Sep 05, 2021
This spray contains .5% lidocaine and .2% Hydrocortisone.

Will the hydrocortisone in this product burn and sting if applied to open sores and BADLY rashes skin???

Answer by Chewy • Apr 09, 2021
This spray also contains Lidocaine to help relieve itching, burning and pain from skin inflammation.

Truly worked

I'm so happy I found this medicated spray. My pup was breaking out in scabs up and down his spine. He was itching a lot and his back was bright red all the time

I'm so happy I found this medicated spray. My pup was breaking out in scabs up and down his spine. He was itching a lot and his back was bright red all the time. We tried so many things and had so much advice that all failed. Even the Vet was baffled and prescribed antibiotics, which also did not work. I kept looking for solutions and found this on the Chewy website. I am completely sold!!!!! After only 2 treatments my furbaby was comfortable and happy again. No more itching and the hot spots were gone. His skin lost the redness. I will swear by this but in my search I realize not everything works on every dog. But this is definitely worth a try, Tito and I are glad we did.

AWFUL Fragrance!!!!!!

I can’t tell you how well this works because I didn’t want to use it on my pet. The fragrance is unbearable and I’m not one to be sensitive about smells. My nose doesn’t even work well, but the fragrance is SO strong my broken nose picked it up immediately and it was so strong it made me feels nauseous and my eyes burn. I really don’t understand why they had to add such strong fragrance to this?! This is supposed to be soothing but they go on and add fragrance which has zero purpose really and honestly any fragrance this strong has got to be irritating and I don’t want to risk using this on my pets already irritated skin!!!!

This product seems to work but I talked to a Veterinarian and they told me to stop using it immediately because it has Lidocaine in it and it's severely toxic to cats if they ingest it. Thankfully, my cat did not have any stomach reactions from what I saw but for it to be promoted for cats is dangerous.

Works awesome. We have used it at least once a day for 2 weeks now and has really made a difference. Still have to watch when you first put it on so they don't lick it off, but once it drys I don't think I've really had to worry about it. Its been healing great and I've noticed her skin is looking wonderful.

Needed refill on Finley's hot spot spray. Prompt arrival. What stood out to me was the great care that was put into the packaging of the bottle so it wouldn't leak. The top was taped down, and the bottle was wrapped securely in a zip lock bag. Great job you guys at Chewy. I'm really impressed. Loyal customer for many years.

My kitty started to rip her hair out on her back near her tail and itching all the time, I was at my wits end until a friend of mine told me to try this so I decided to give this a try. It worked perfect stopped her itching and ripping her hair out. I would recommend this to everyone who has an animal that is going through the same as my kitty did.

Tyson has terrible allergies with spots he scratches raw. He gets shots, special grooming and shampooing but he still scratches. This spray has helped him with the itching and healed some areas he had chewed on his legs. I highly recommend it.

So helpful!

This has been so helpful for my dog's allergies/itchy skin! When we've had a bad flare-up, this is the only hot spot/itch relief spray we've tried that has helped. I was so close to taking my dog to the emergency vet, but I started using this product and it immediately made a difference in her behavior so I knew she was more comfortable, and using the product as recommended it eventually completely cleared up her skin and stopped the scratching

Tommy did mind being spayed

Tommy finally received a steroid shot. He has been so itchy for so long. All the creams and sprayed I have tried have had a positive affect and helped get rid of

Tommy finally received a steroid shot. He has been so itchy for so long. All the creams and sprayed I have tried have had a positive affect and helped get rid of the scabs on his skin but did not cure the itch. The products did calm the him and his fur became fluffy and soft but itch would not stop. The shot helped dramatically. It did not cure the problem but it helped. Tommy is a big 19 pound cat.

This spray is a game changer !

My daschund mix starts her paw chewing in early September as her seasonal itchy allergies startup. She will chew her feet raw until a hard frost late October when

My daschund mix starts her paw chewing in early September as her seasonal itchy allergies startup. She will chew her feet raw until a hard frost late October when her allergy subsides. However if I don't use something on her to reduce or stop the foot itching she will chew her feet raw. The problem is I tried different shampoos, different lotions, sprays but while they may eventually help if they don't stop that itching those feet will get chewed daily with no relief. This peoduct has the healing ingredients but it also has lidocaine which stops that itching! I do the nightly foot soaks in providone iodine too but even those don't stop the itching, therefore the chewing continues if I don't also use this spray with lidocaine. It contains hydrocortisone and a fungal medication too for healing. But the lidocaine controls/deadens the itching better than anything. Don't let your dog lick this! After it's dried the irching is gone and my dog gets relief she turnsher attention to things other than chewing her poor feet! I use it for as long as her allergy is active. Her feet are actually healing well by the time we get that frost and the need for medication subsides. I also give her a generic Claritin twice a day which helps with generalized itching.
