My dog scratches constantly, but it's not fleas. What helps allergies?

Question

Our dogs are scratching constantly, they receive flea meds every month and have been given several baths with flea shampoo, but continue to scratch. I think it's probably seasonal allergies, what can be done for this??

He could definitely have seasonal allergies and you could talk to your vet about using an anti-histamine, corticosteroid, or a new allergy medication called Apoquel. If he has a secondary bacterial skin infection then he will also need an antibiotic to treat the infection. You could also use Free Form Snip Tips to help keep his coat and skin healthy. https://www.bayerdvm.com/show.aspx/productdetail/free-form-snip-tips-and-liquid
