Synergy Labs Veterinary Formula Clinical Care Hot Spot & Itch Relief Medicated Shampoo For Dogs & Cats[Volume - 473ml]

Hot Spots & Irritated Skin:

Pet owners should be vigilant about environmental, dietary, and situational factors that can irritate their pet’s skin, including: allergies, fleas, tick bites, matted or dirty fur, sunburn, wet dogs, or anal sac issues. These conditions may lead your pet to scratch, lick, or bite at these areas, often causing significant discomfort and potential harm. In some cases, boredom can also trigger this behavior. Hot spots and inflammation can develop quickly when a pet starts to itch or bite at affected areas, resulting in painful, red, and moist irritated lesions known as hot spots, or acute moist dermatitis, which require prompt treatment.

Tips to Prevent Hot Spots:

• Regularly groom your dog and keep their fur trimmed short.
• Utilize flea & tick treatments recommended by your veterinarian.
• Keep your pet active and healthy by providing a nutritious diet, plenty of exercise, and playtime to avoid boredom.
• Thoroughly dry your pet after bathing, and ensure they are cleaned and dried after swimming in lakes or oceans.

Identifying the root cause of the issue is crucial, so consult your veterinarian if hot spots persist. In between veterinary appointments, the Veterinary Formula Clinical Care Hot Spot & Itch Relief line contains Hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid to manage itching and inflammation, along with Lidocaine, an over-the-counter analgesic to ease pain.

Description:

Lidocaine & Hydrocortisone work together to reduce itching, redness, and swelling. Colloidal Oatmeal & Aloe Vera offer soothing and moisturizing relief. The formula includes Lactic Acid to enhance the absorption of healing and soothing ingredients. It is pH balanced.

For optimal relief, follow up with the Veterinary Formula Clinical Care Hot Spot & Itch Relief Medicated Conditioner. Use the Veterinary Formula Clinical Care Hot Spot & Itch Relief Spray between baths to alleviate symptoms and promote healing. For topical use only on dogs and cats.
