∙ 15y agoThe most common symptoms of allergies in dogs are skin problems (hair loss, rashes..) and ear problems. Other symptoms may include seeing your dog scratch, lick, bite, and nipping at itself alot. On my animals, I've noticed a common place to see hair loss is under the armpits, and it's usually very red and inflamed. Dogs with allergies can develop ear infections, and alot of times become quite smelly. Note: I am not a veterinarian or a professional in any way. I just have/had my fair share of medical issues in my many, many pets.

Controlling That Hounding Itch - Treating Dog Allergies?
Man’s best friend can also share one of man’s worst enemies - allergies. There is nothing as bad as a constant itch and constant itching is even worse in dogs who cannot even share their misery with you. If your dog is constantly scratching, has red, inflamed skin or is losing his hair, he could have allergies. There are three types of allergies in dogs - inhalant allergies, food allergies and contact allergies. Inhalant allergies are the most common and hardest to treat. Contact allergies are the least common. Identifying what type of allergy your dog has is the first step in treatment. Dog allergy treatment is effective over 90% of the time. Inhalant allergies occur when a dog inhales a substance he is allergic to. This could be anything from dust mites to pollen outside. Some people classify flea allergies in this category, but it is not a true inhalant allergy. Inhalant allergies are often seasonal. Some strategies to combat common inhalant allergies are to not let your pet stay in the room as you vacuum, wash your pet’s bedding at least weekly in hot water, don’t let your dog go into tall grass and bathe him off after he goes outside. If your dog has fleas, he should be treated with a flea medication. Even one flea can make a dog with allergies miserable. Food allergies occur when your dog is allergic to something he eats. If your dog eats people food, you should eliminate this from his diet. Then feed your dog one brand of quality food until you find a brand he can tolerate. Special rice and potato dog food can be purchased from your vet for the dog who has extreme food allergies. Contact allergies occur when your dog touches or lies against a surface that has something on it he is allergic to. If your pet has contact allergies, consider switching to baby shampoo for baths and using a free and clear detergent to wash his bedding. Supplementing your dog’s diet with fatty-3 omega acids and biotin has been shown to improve the condition of their skin and coat and reduce the symptoms of dog allergies. Your vet can also prescribe steroids and special shampoos to reduce the itching and inflammation of your dog’s skin. Finding an effective dog allergy treatment helps your dog be healthier and happier.

Are welsh springer spaniels bad for people with dog allergies?
I don't think springer spaniels are a good choice for allergy sufferers. They are large dogs that have a lot of hair and they also shed quite a bit of dander. My parents have an English springer spaniel and I get skin allergies sometimes when I pet the dog and she makes my eyes itchy ever once in a while. I own a small rat terrier and have slight allergies to this dog but not to the extent as the springer because she's about 1/5th the size. I think the main concern is if you know you have allergies to dogs it might not be worth the risk to purchase one, especially not a large dog that will give you more dander than a smaller dog. At first I was really sad that I couldn't buy a springer (due to allergies) but the smaller dog has been just as fun, energetic and loving as the springer is.
You are looking for dog food for a dog with allergies and seizures?
