My GSP has horrible allergies. We have her on shots and benedryl along with Salmon based dog food that has no corn, chicken or yeast in it. Her itching on her face, ears and between her foot pads and toes turned out be yeast infections and we needed special meds for that but she is sop much better now. She had a bad odor when she had that. Does your dog smell too?

No, my dog just smells like a dog.

I read up on allergy shots, but they contain steroids, which can be bad for your dogs health. Does chickens cause allergies? If it does then I will try and find a variety of TOTW that doesn't have any chicken....that is if it exists.

I had Cocoa tested to find out the specific triggers for her. Chicken just happened to be a big one. I was shocked. She is doing way better now

My allergy dog smells like stale nasty Fritos...
She gets Benedryl and used to get prednisone but didn't like what it did to her. She is hairless anywhere she can reach and has worn down all her teeth in front. Come late fall she will be OK and her fur will grow back.

Oh and I have also been using an antibacterial/antifungal shampoo on her - that seems to help the most.
