Why does my dog keep getting hot spots?
Is my dog allergic to something? What else could be a reason for hot spots? I'd love to give him something for this to stop it from spreading...

I use coconut oil to treat it but if this is a recurring issue, I would suggest bovine or equine colostrum. IT resets the immune system and helps with any sort of auto-immune issues, I have had quite a bit of success with this. Here is an article about it: http://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/...
If the hot spots are on his stomach, it could be from bacteria. Neosporin has worked great for me in the past.
Yes, allergies (environmental and/or food based) could be the cause. Flea and bug bites, grooming issues, boredom/stress and other medical reasons could also be causes.
