There are two main allergy tests dogs can undergo: blood and skin. Vets also commonly introduce an elimination diet for suspected food allergies, where you switch your dog to a hypoallergenic food then start adding in items one by one to detect the culprit.

TREATMENTS + SOLUTIONS
Veterinary professionals will often treat the allergies as a whole with steroids that stop the immune system from overreacting to allergen exposure. But they might also try to treat symptoms one by one, like a medicated bath for irritated skin.
You can also take some pre-emptive measures on your own, like feeding your dog with a hypoallergenic food rich in antioxidants and vitamins to boost their immune system and strengthen their skin and coat!
