My dog is itchy from allergies. What over-the-counter meds are safe?

Question

My pup is itchy, but according to DVM doesn't have fleas but might have allergies. She mentioned an over the counter option. I don't remember what it was, though. Any idea?

Yes, there is an OTC in the form of antihistamines, but legally I cannot recommend it for you to use on her, nor can I give you the dose. That's because doing so requires a veterinary client patient relationship which cannot be achieved via an internet forum. In addition, I cannot say for certain if a specific drug is safe for your dog. I would give your vet a call to get the name of the OTC option as well as the dosage.
