My dog is itchy. How to tell if it's food or environmental allergies?

Question

My Boston Terrier has become very itchy! How can I tell if it’s food allergies or environmental allergies? Pet's info: Dog | Boston Terrier | Male | neutered | 22 lbs

I'd have Mushu seen by a vet. Typically environmental allergies are much more common than food allergies (only 10% of dogs with allergies have a food allergy), but the vet can run tests and may suggest a diet trial to diagnose what is going on. I hope this helps!
