My girl Lucy is a long haired jr. She is 13 years old. She is allergic to so many different foods. One single treat and she is broken out everywhere. I feed her blue buffalo chicken recipe. I found that grains or corn cause her the worst reaction and this food keeps her from itching 95 percent of the time

My Jack has allergies which is common for this breed... Grass is one of them and I have also found out she can't eat fillers in her food such as corn, wheat, grains gluten and anything synthetic such as store bought (plastic type)chewies for teeth and entertainment. I have tried veggie (without corn) dry dog food and it's the same..also I was informed to stay away for RED meat. She is on a steroid type medication which helps.. No rash but she still scratches some and licks...I'm today going to try her on a can food with NO additives. If this works she is comming off her meds because it makes her drink a lot and therefore pees a lot. Do not over bath her/him.. Only once a month. Make sure the shampoo has NO perfumes and is mild.. A natural shampoo is better. Good Luck!

Maybe his allergic to his food,or he has dry skin.I give mine a cod liver oil capsule every day they are very good for your dog.
