Pet MD Hydrocortisone Spray for Dogs Cats Horses — 4 oz, 1% topical for fast itch and inflammation relief

Pet MD Hydrocortisone Spray is a 1% topical spray that helps reduce itching, redness, and inflammation on dogs, cats, and horses for faster, more comfortable healing.

Designed as a targeted topical aid, this 4 oz bottle delivers a non-stinging 1% hydrocortisone formula in an easy-to-apply spray. The fragrance- and dye-free solution is intended to calm irritated skin from bites, hot spots, and other minor skin conditions while minimizing the chance of further irritation. Made in the USA under strict quality controls, the product is sized for household use and stable enough for spot treatments on multiple companion animals.

How quickly will this spray calm my pet’s itchy skin?

The fast-drying spray provides rapid contact with the irritated area so you can often see a reduction in redness and scratching within hours. Individual response varies by severity, but the 1% hydrocortisone concentration is commonly used for short-term topical relief.

• Topical 1% hydrocortisone for short-term symptomatic relief
• Non-stinging, no added fragrance or dyes to limit irritation
• Spray applicator for quick coverage of hard-to-reach spots
• Works on dogs, cats, and horses for multi-species households

Can I use the spray on hot spots, insect bites, or small wounds?

This spray is formulated to address itch and inflammation from hot spots, bites, and similar superficial skin irritations. It is not intended to replace veterinary care for deep, infected, or extensively damaged wounds; seek professional assessment for severe or worsening conditions.

• Suitable for hot spots and localized bite reactions
• Not for deep or heavily infected wounds—consult your veterinarian
• Ideal for spot treatment to help break the cycle of scratching
• Can be used on multiple animal types for consistent home care

How do I apply the spray safely to my pet?

Shake gently and spray directly on the affected area from a short distance, avoiding eyes, mucous membranes, and open deep wounds. Apply only as directed and prevent licking until the area has dried; if your pet repeatedly licks the spot, use an Elizabethan collar or cover the area as advised by your veterinarian.

• Apply a light mist to clean, dry skin—do not soak the area
• Avoid eyes, nose, mouth, and other mucous membranes
• Prevent immediate licking; allow the spray to dry for effective contact
• Use short-term and follow veterinary guidance for prolonged problems

What makes this formula different from other topical sprays?

Pet MD combines a widely used 1% hydrocortisone active ingredient with a neutral base free of fragrances and dyes, reducing the risk of added irritation. The spray format allows quick, even application over irregular areas like folds, flanks, and hot spots without direct rubbing.

• Fragrance- and dye-free to lower irritation potential
• Spray delivery for efficient, mess-free application
• Produced in inspected U.S. facilities for consistent quality
• Available in a compact 4 oz bottle for home and travel use

Who is this for? Pet MD Hydrocortisone Spray is intended for pet owners who need an easy-to-use, short-term topical option to manage itch and inflammation in dogs, cats, and horses. It’s useful for treating localized hot spots, bite-related irritation, and minor inflammatory skin reactions when veterinary evaluation has ruled out deeper or systemic problems. For chronic, widespread, or severe conditions, consult your veterinarian before extended use.
