🔥 Pet Parent’s Guide to Hotspots

Hotspots are painful, inflamed areas on your pet's skin that can quickly worsen if left untreated. They’re typically caused by irritation, moisture, or allergies, which lead to constant scratching, licking, or biting of the affected area.

Here’s what you need to know to keep your pet comfortable and help prevent hotspots:
- Identify Early Signs: Look for red, inflamed patches on your pet's skin that may ooze or crust over. These areas are often very itchy and painful, causing pets to scratch or lick them frequently.

- Understand Common Causes: Hotspots can be triggered by various factors, including flea bites, allergies (food or environmental), poor grooming, or underlying skin conditions. Seasonal allergies are especially common causes, as pets may react to pollen, grass, or other outdoor allergens.

- Keep the Area Clean and Dry: Moisture worsens hotspots, so it's essential to keep the affected area dry. Avoid using harsh soaps, as these can further irritate the skin.

- Address the Underlying Cause: To prevent hotspots from recurring, consult us to identify any allergies, infections, or other factors that may be triggering them.

By identifying them early and treating the cause, you can help your furry friend heal faster and stay comfortable. For more advice on managing hotspots, reach out to us!

As the wildfires threaten LA, our very own Dr. Annie Harvilicz didn’t just step up—she opened her heart and home to animals in need. From caring for her brother’s pets during the Palisades fire to taking in 39 more furry evacuees, her compassion truly knows no bounds. 🐾❤️

We’re honored to be a part of a community that values resilience, love, and the power of coming together in times of need.

For those who need help housing their animals, Dr. Harvilicz said to call one of our two veterinary hospitals.

The number for the Marina del Rey location is (310) 450-7387. The number for our Harbor City location is (310) 737-8600.

Annie Harvilicz runs two veterinary hospitals and is taking in animals that have been displaced by the fires raging around Los Angeles.
