Wellness Dog Food: Hot Spots in Dogs

Overview
Hot spots, technically called acute moist dermatitis or canine pyoderma, usually appear as localized, moist reddish sores. Hot spots are the response to a infection: something irritates your puppy’s skin plus the irritation becomes itchy, which means your dog does the logical thing—scratch, lick, or both—eventually causing a red, ugly oozing sore.
Risk
Just what exactly causes your pet dog to be itchy initially? Itchy skin is usually caused by a various things, for example allergies to food or even the surrounding environment and fleas. Factors including mange, anal glandular disorder, poor grooming, tick or mosquito bites, and in many cases summer might cause other people you know to start out the dangerous cycle of repeatedly scratching and licking an itch. Dogs with long, dense coats will be more subject to this problem.
