“My Golden gets hot spots around her neck every summer from her collar and in the groin area. The best way I avoid this is by clipping and shaving those areas. I try to keep those affected areas dry although she is a water dog. I purchase medicated sprays for hotspots and keep them on-hand when a spot does erupt.Some treatments work better than others. All dogs and skin infections are not the same. I also remove all collars from my dogs when they are in the house. This reduces the chance of hotspot. In addition, try cleaning and disinfecting thier collars. Collars harbor bacteria.”

“My dog got hot spots every summer. I would shave a good distance around the area - at least an inch past the actual lesion - then apply alcohol 2 - 3 times a day followed by hydrocortisone anti-itch spray that I bought from a pet store. It took about a day for the dog to stop licking/biting the area and about 5 days for it to heal. My vet told me about this and it works - I know applying alcohol to an open wound sounds painful, but he assured me it doesn't hurt him and he NEVER whinced when I applied it.”

“My GSD has anal glands that fill up fast. I'm feeding her Royal Canine,Green Beans,High Fiber Cereal and Pumpkin. Any foods I should avoid. Or any others I can add to her diet. I do obedience with her so she gets lots of treats. ”
