One minute your dog is fine. The next, they're licking one spot raw.
Skin irritation moves fast. Waiting for a vet appointment can mean days of scratching, licking, and discomfort for your pet.
Stratford Animal Care carries medicated skin sprays for dogs and cats formulated with the same active ingredients used across the veterinary channel.
Why Skin Sprays Are the Fastest Way to Interrupt the Itch-Scratch Cycle
A skin spray offers targeted, easy-to-apply topical care for pets dealing with itching or irritated skin. Sprays reach the affected area directly, without the mess of a full bath.
Licking and scratching can make a small irritated patch worse. Left unaddressed, minor skin discomfort can affect your pet's daily comfort and coat appearance.
A leave-on medicated spray fits into a daily routine. It's fast to apply, easy to reapply, and doesn't require rinsing.
Choosing the Right Medicated Spray: Match the Ingredient to the Issue
Not every skin spray works the same way. Two ingredient categories cover most topical skin care needs for dogs and cats.
Hydrocortisone & Pramoxine Sprays: For Itching and Occasional Skin Irritation
These formulas combine hydrocortisone and pramoxine, two ingredients commonly used in topical pet skin care for occasional itching and discomfort. They're designed for spot application on areas your pet is scratching or licking.
Pramox-1™ Spray and Hydrocortisone Spray fall into this category. Both are alcohol-free and formulated for direct application.
Chlorhexidine & Ketoconazole Sprays: For Everyday Antiseptic Skin Care
Chlorhexidine and ketoconazole sprays are formulated with ingredients widely used in topical antiseptic and skin-cleansing routines for pets. Keto-C® Spray and the StrataChlor and StrataCalm lines fall into this group.
These formulas support a pet's regular skin care routine, especially for pets prone to recurring topical concerns.
How to Tell a Simple Hot Spot from a Deeper Skin Concern
Occasional itching or a small irritated patch often responds well to consistent topical care. Symptoms can have multiple causes and don't confirm a diagnosis.
If irritation spreads, worsens, or doesn't improve, consult your veterinarian. A professional exam can identify the underlying cause.
Why Choose Stratford Animal Care Medicated Sprays
Veterinary-Channel Sourcing, Available Direct to You
Stratford Animal Care distributes formulas originally available through the veterinary supply channel. You get the same product line clinics order from, shipped straight to your door.
This channel access is Stratford's core difference from mass-market pet retailers.
Alcohol-Free, No-Sting Formulas Built for Regular Use
Most Stratford dermatological sprays are alcohol-free, reducing the sting some pets react to during application. That makes application easier, especially for pets already sensitive to touch.
Easy application means better consistency, and consistency matters with any topical routine.
One Trusted Source for Stratford, VetClassics and Rx Vitamins Formulas
Stratford Animal Care carries dermatological sprays across three brands: Stratford, VetClassics, and Rx Vitamins. One checkout, one shipment, multiple trusted formula lines.
How to Apply Dermatological Sprays Safely and Effectively
Shake the bottle well before each use. Spray the affected area directly, following the product label's instructions.
Avoid contact with your pet's eyes and mucous membranes. Supervise your pet briefly after application to discourage licking.
Always follow the specific directions on each product label. Dosing frequency varies by formula and by species.
