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

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.

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.

We have had hit or miss luck with Veterinary Formula. I wanted to give it some time before I reviewed, but my dog does not like it at all. I have tried to use 3-4 times and it just seemed to bother him more, so I have discontinued use. He is very sensitive to products.

I wasn't able to use this items because upon receiving it I read the fine print that said that dogs should not lick the product after being applied. There is no way to stop by dogs from licking the area that itches until the itch is gone. I was fearful to apply it to their effected areas for fear of them ingesting it.

My cat had a long standing hot spot that I tried multiple products to cure and this is the first to work. With other sprays he would run after application (making me think it burned the opened spot) but I can use this one while he’s napping and he doesn’t wake up.

For several years, our cat has broken out during spring allergy season. Normally we take her to the vet for a steroid shot or two. Our vet went on vacation so we were unable to get an appointment soon enough for our cat. I bought this to see if it would hold her over. It worked! The first time we used it, she didn't like the spraying but once we showed her that she was going to get a brushing after the spraying, she settled down. Now she's showing up when her itches are getting bad and she headbutts her brush. She'll go in for her normal vet visit but it's not going to be an emergency visit this time.
