    Hi,
    It would be ideal if you can identify the allergen as you simply need to eliminate it from the dog’s diet or environment. However, identifying the allergen can be a long trial and error process. It would be best to take the dog to the vet for proper medication. The vet may give the dog allergy shots and prescribe antihistamines. You can also alleviate the allergic symptoms by giving the dog a hypoallergenic diet. Notice if the symptoms are alleviated if you give the dog home cooked meals instead of commercial dry dog food. A lot of owners of dogs suffering from allergies have attested to the efficacy of adding oatmeal to the dog’s bath water. This allergic remedy is said to reduce itching and soothe the skin. You may not be certain that the dog’s allergic reactions are from its environment but it would not hurt the dog if you wash the beddings, the blanket as well as the pet’s toys.
