Hi This is a very common case with dog allergies as they are reoccurring & The best way to treat skin allergies is to avoid the offending allergen. With allergen tests, vets will find out possible allergens & avoiding the allergen is a way to maintain allergy control without medication. For food allergies, changing your dog’s diet can often do the trick. The most common food ingredients that cause dog allergies are: • Grains (corn, oats, wheat, or whey) • Dairy products • Meats (beef, chicken, pork, lamb, or fish -Flea allergies are usually the easiest to treat by killing the fleas and using flea prevention medication. -Environmental allergies; it may not be possible to avoid the allergen entirely. If your dog suffers from indoor or outdoor allergies, try controlling your dog habits.

Use hypoallergenic food like arden grange or hills or even pedigree, if you are giving tye doggo eggs or milk or meat stop right away and stick only to dog food until the dog is 18 months old.
