🔥 Hot Spots on Dogs — What Are They? 🔥
Hot spots, also known as acute moist dermatitis, are painful, red, inflamed areas on your dog’s skin that can appear suddenly. They’re often caused by:
✔️ Allergies
✔️ Excessive licking or scratching
✔️ Moisture trapped under fur
✔️ Flea bites or bug irritation
🛑 These spots can spread quickly if not treated, so it’s important to act fast.

🧼 Regular grooming and bathing
🌿 Flea/tick control
💨 Keeping your dog’s coat dry
