Red, inflamed patches often start small but can worsen fast.
Support skin healing and comfort with our proven soothing routine.
Why do hot spots & rashes occur?
Hotspots and rashes are inflamed, irritated areas of skin that can appear suddenly and worsen quickly. They’re typically triggered by underlying issues like allergies, insect bites, moisture trapped against the skin, or excessive licking and scratching. These spots often start as small red patches but can rapidly become larger, moist, and uncomfortable if left untreated.
When a dog’s skin barrier is compromised, it becomes more vulnerable to bacterial and yeast infections, which can cause or worsen hotspots and rashes. Environmental factors, seasonal allergies, and even stress can play a role in flare-ups, making ongoing skin care essential for dogs prone to these issues.
How Fur Love helps
Hotspots and rashes can escalate quickly, so fast, soothing care is essential. Fur Love’s routine starts with our Natural Dog Shampoo to gently cleanse the area, washing away dirt and bacteria that can worsen the inflammation. It’s packed with Manuka Honey, coconut water, and olive extract to hydrate while calming sensitive skin.
After washing, the Lavender Moisture Balm provides soothing relief. Infused with lavender, coconut, and evening primrose oils, it creates a moisture-rich barrier that keeps the skin protected and helps ease irritation, allowing the hotspot to dry and heal naturally.

The science behind our solution to hotspots & rashes
Hotspots (acute moist dermatitis) are inflamed, red patches often caused by excessive licking, scratching, or underlying allergies. They can quickly become infected if not treated promptly. Fur Love’s shampoo gently cleanses with coconut-based surfactants that won’t aggravate already sensitive skin. Manuka Honey, with its renowned antimicrobial properties, helps to reduce bacterial load while moisturising and calming inflammation. Coconut water and olive extract deliver antioxidants and hydration, which assist in calming and repairing the skin.
The Lavender Moisture Balm complements this care by forming a protective barrier that supports healing. Beeswax seals in moisture while lavender oil provides anti-inflammatory and mild antiseptic properties. Coconut oil and evening primrose oil nourish and soften the skin, offering omega-rich hydration that aids recovery. These ingredients work together to soothe discomfort and prevent further trauma from licking or scratching.
This routine is designed to interrupt the itch-lick cycle, keep hotspots dry and clean, and provide the skin with the nourishment it needs to heal naturally and comfortably.
