What Cortavance Spray for Dogs Does

Cortavance spray for dogs is designed to help calm inflamed, itchy skin. It delivers a measured dose of steroid directly onto the affected area, so the medicine acts where it is needed most.

When the skin feels less itchy and sore, many dogs scratch less, sleep better and seem more comfortable in themselves.

Key Benefits of Cortavance Spray for Dogs

✔ Helps reduce redness, heat and inflammation in problem skin areas
✔ Relieves itching so dogs scratch and lick less
✔ Targeted spray for local use rather than whole-body treatment
✔ Available in 31ml and 76ml bottles for different treatment plans
✔ Used alongside a wider skin-care and allergy plan from your vet

How Cortavance Works

Cortavance spray for dogs contains hydrocortisone aceponate, a topical corticosteroid. It acts on the skin’s inflammatory processes.

By reducing inflammation, Cortavance helps:

• Ease redness and swelling

• Reduce itch and irritation

• Support the skin while other underlying triggers are managed

It does not cure the underlying cause of the skin problem on its own. Your vet will usually combine Cortavance with other steps, such as parasite control, diet changes, allergy management or medicated washes.

When Vets May Prescribe Cortavance

Your vet may prescribe Cortavance spray for dogs when your dog has:

• Localised patches of itchy, inflamed skin

• Allergic or inflammatory skin disease affecting limited areas

• Areas that are difficult to treat with creams without rubbing

The vet will examine your dog and may recommend tests to look for parasites, infection or allergies before deciding that Cortavance is suitable.

How to Use Cortavance Spray for Dogs

Always follow your vet’s directions and the label on the bottle. As a general guide:

• Shake the bottle if instructed

• Part the fur so the spray reaches the skin

• Hold the nozzle close to the affected area

• Apply the number of sprays your vet has prescribed

• Allow the area to dry naturally

Your vet will tell you:

• How many sprays to use per area

• How often to apply Cortavance

• How long the course should last

Do not change the dose, frequency or duration without asking your vet. If you miss a dose, or if you are unsure whether you applied it correctly, contact your vet for advice.

Skin-Care and Management Tips

Cortavance spray for dogs works best as part of a full skin-care plan. Your vet may also suggest:

• Regular parasite control (fleas, mites and worms)

• A suitable diet, including allergy or skin-support diets if needed

• Medicated shampoos or washes for problem areas

• Gentle drying after bathing and wet walks

• Avoiding known triggers such as certain grasses or household products

These steps, together with Cortavance, can help reduce flare-ups and keep your dog more comfortable in the long term.
