My dog has a rash and itch since moving. What's the cause?

Question

My dog has a rash and I'm not sure what is causing it. She has had it since we moved house a couple of months ago. Some days it worse than others. Other than the itch annoying her she seems fine. Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Female | spayed | 6 years and 10 months old | 21 lbs

It could be that there is something in the home or the new environment that is causing Blondie to have a contact allergy. I would have her seen by a vet. It's not normal to have a rash for a couple of months, and it needs to be examined and treated. She may benefit from steroids and medicated shampoos for the rash, which the vet can prescribe. I would have her seen by a vet first thing Monday.
