Hello!

My dog has one spot that seems a bit itchy. The vet said that she seemed to have a little bit of grass irritation, but that there weren't any signs of anything significant. Is there something over the counter that might help? Hand lotion, hydrocortisone cream, something like that? I know I sometimes get itchy skin and a little Aveeno helps, but I don't go around licking myself either, so thought I would get some other people's opinions first.

My dog had spots like this and they told me it was hot spots and to get the Hot spot spray over the counter at walmart and it would stop him form itching .

I have used Alpha Keri on dogs in the past. I felt it was too highly scented. Try a good brushing with a soft bristled brush. Seldom if ever bathing a dog allows its natural oils to keep the skin in good condition.
