A message to our learning community After much consideration, we’ve made the decision to close the Improve Veterinary Practice platform on 13 January 2026. Improve Veterinary Practice was built to support vets and nurses at every stage of their career, and while this chapter is ending, a new one is starting at Improve Veterinary Education. We couldn’t be more grateful for the community you’ve helped us build and hope to see you on this exciting next step. Find out more

New hydrocortisone aceponate spray

Animalcare has launched a new topical hydrocortisone cutaneous spray solution for dermatological conditions such as atopic dermatitis in dogs

Animalcare has launched hydrocortisone cutaneous spray solution, a new topical spray for the symptomatic treatment of inflammatory and pruritic dermatoses and the alleviation of clinical signs associated with atopic dermatitis in dogs.

Hydrocortisone aceponate 0.584 mg/ml is a potent, topical anti-inflammatory, proven to quickly relieve itchy and inflamed skin in dogs. Its spray application ensures ease of use and accurate targeting to affected areas of skin. It is presented in a convenient 76 ml size and offers a two-year shelf life, six months once opened.

Commenting on its launch, Animalcare Product Manager Eleanor Workman Wright said: “Skin problems are extremely common in dogs. They can often cause great discomfort to dogs and concern to their owners. We believe that hydrocortisone cutaneous spray solution will be a useful addition to the range of treatment options currently available to vets as they consider the most appropriate care plan for their patients.”
