There is a very good allergy test your vet can do. It is expensive, but it will tell you everything the dog is allergic to and the degree of sensitivity. My dog is very allergic, but we knew most of his allergies -- or so we thought. Turns out he is allergic to peas and carrots. He always hated carrots :-) He was also allergic to palm trees, plantains (the weed), crabgrass, and cedar. Now, I live in South Florida, so palm trees and cedar were a big problem. In the back of the house, we cut down the only palm tree and took up all the cedar mulch that is so common down here. He's now fine. The test ran about $500.00 but it saved me that much in vet bills and meds. In addition, he really could have died.
