Hot spots are an irritating skin condition that affects countless dogs every year.  Anything that irritates the skin and causes a dog to lick, scratch, or rub the area can start a hot spot – allergic reactions to food or plants, insect, mite, or flea bites, poor grooming, underlying ear or skin infections, skin wounds and scrapes. Dogs have even been known to “start” a hot spot out of boredom or stress-related problems. Those red, moist, irritated lesions are typically found on a dog’s head, hip or chest area and grow very quickly because dogs tend to lick, chew and scratch the affected region, further irritating the skin, and often becoming quite painful.

Opie & Dixie founder Debbie Guardian had been working for months on a wholesome, natural product to treat this common affliction. Sticking with her philosophy of not putting anything on her own pups that she would not put on herself, Debbie worked with her manufacturers to develop a product full of goodness that would relieve and cure. Shortly after her first trial samples arrived, her own Opal began chewing and licking an insect bite, leading to an ugly hot spot. Debbie applied Spotstik to the area. “Opie” soon stopped attacking the wound, the irritation clearly soothed. In a few short days the wound healed, and “Opie” was back to being her comfortable, playful self, eager to romp with her companion “Dixie”.

Developed to be easily applied via its convenient “Stik” applicator directly to the afflicted area, with no mess or fuss, Spotstik combines natural, USDA Certified Organic ingredients which soothe and heal: Grapeseed Oil, Olive Oil, Beeswax, Shea Butter, Aloe Vera Oil, Vitamin E, Calendula Blend, and Essential Oils of Rosemary, Eucalyptus, Mint and Tea Tree. Spotstik is made in the U.S.A. of North American ingredients.
