Instant relief for inflamed, itchy skin

Hot spots are moist, red and often painful areas that appear as a result of intense licking, biting or scratching by the animal. Bugalugs Hot Spot Spray breaks this cycle of self-injury by attacking the cause directly: pathogenic microorganisms. The hypochlorous acid in the formula mimics the body's natural immune processes, providing powerful disinfection without any pain for your pet.

This spray is ideal for dogs and cats with thick coats that are prone to skin allergies or irritation from flea bites. Because the formula is light and non-sticky, it easily reaches the base of the hair without making the coat greasy. Regular use on the affected areas prevents the inflammation from spreading and provides comfort that lets the skin recover completely in just a few days.

Directions for use

Shake well before use. Carefully part the coat around the hot spot to ensure direct contact with the skin. Spray the affected area generously. Leave to dry naturally; there is no need to rinse or wipe off. Apply 3 to 4 times a day until the area has fully healed. The spray is safe to use around the face, but avoid direct contact with the eyes.

Frequently asked questions

Question 1: How quickly will I see results on the hot spot? The itching usually starts to ease immediately after spraying. With regular use (3-4 times a day), the redness and moisture of the hot spot visibly reduce within 24 to 48 hours as active healing begins. Question 2: Can I use the spray on my cat? Yes, the product is completely safe for cats. As cats are extremely sensitive to licking products off their coat, Bugalugs Hot Spot Spray is ideal for them because its formula is non-toxic and biodegradable. Question 3: Should I bath my dog before spraying? It is not essential, but the area should be free of mud and larger dirt. If the hot spot is very dirty, you can gently clean it with saline solution or clean water, then pat dry and spray. Avoid using ordinary shampoos on active hot spots, as they can irritate them further.

Expert tip

Hot spots need air to heal. Avoid bandaging the area after spraying. If your pet keeps licking despite the spray, use a protective cone (Elizabethan collar) for 24 hours. Bugalugs spray is light-sensitive: always store it in its original dark packaging, away from direct sunlight, to preserve its antiseptic strength down to the last drop.
