I wouldn't recommend doing so - Neosporin is a triple antibiotic ointment or cream that includes at least one antibiotic that is extremely toxic when ingested. Since dogs are notorious for licking away every cream, lotion and goo placed on their skin, you would risk a serious medical reaction if you used Neosporin on a dog's skin.
The good news is, keeping the skin clean, dry and exposed to the atmosphere does a lot of good in clearing up rashes in dogs - simply clipping the hair close with a men's beard shaver and keeping the area dry can go a long ways towards resolving issues like hot spots.

∙ 11y agoDo not use Neosporin in your dog's eyes. Neosporin in is somewhat irritating when placed in the eye. It can lead the infection to become worse and can delay the period of time in which it takes your dog to recover.

∙ 12y agoNeosporin is NOT a pain reliever - it is an antibiotic. I would not administer it to a dog without a vet's advice for any reason.
