My dog has a peeling rash on hind legs. Is it allergies or the move?

Question

Hi my dog has a rash on the inner parts if his hind legs, i haven't changed his diet or shampoo, but we did move to a different house. It also is beginning to peel. I have given him Benadryl and have bought organic lotions and creams. Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Male | neutered | 3 years and 1 month old | 85 lbs

If those things have not worked to ease the rash then Krunk may need stronger medications (i.e. steroids or immunomodulator drugs like Apoquel- highly recommended) from your vet. Food allergies typically develop over time and occur with pets that have been fed the same food for their entire life. Here is a website article that discusses food allergies and also canine allergic dermatitis in general and what is typically needed to work-up and treat pets with this condition. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=1535 Also Benadryl is only effective if the pets allergies are mild and only helps reduce itching in less than 50% of pets.
