Dog Skin Allergies

I have a 4 year old Golden Retriever, allergies and can not stop scratching and I ittching releave their problems before her body into pieces scratches. My Lucky.who is also a golden retriever had the worst allergies last summer. Poor baby was chewing on his stomach first. The veterinarian told me a compressed benadril for use in foods. I could also wash his body and the groomer cut many pieces of his coat. He seemed relieved immediately. One of my four dogs have allergies bad, and we took him to the vet every 3-4 months for an allergy shot. It works fine and keeps scratching almost immediately. Sometimes the vet will tell you to give them Benadryl instead of shooting. In any case, your vet the best resource and should be consulted. Benadryl is acceptable to give to the dog.
