Frenchie with allergies

We adopted a French bulldog a year ago and she has terrible allergies. Chews feet, scratches ears and under armpits. We thought it was a grass allergy so kept her away from grass, however it has made little to no difference. We're now trying her on a fish only diet as we think it could be a food allergy. Has anyone else had these issues and if so can you let me know what has worked for you. We also give her antihistamines but they don't always work.

@Muminabun I think you may right re food. I've had her on a fish only diet for nearly week now and it's not made a blind bit of difference. I do think she has some food intolerances though as when my dad was staying with us he kept feeding her rubbish and her allergies flared up really badly. I'm getting her spayed at the end of this month so I will speak to the vet then as we made need to start medicated her more which I really didn't want to do. The medicine you've been prescribed sounds expensive but if we have to go down that road then we'll have to. I think like you said most seem to be allergic to everything so it's about just managing and preventing those flare ups.

Hello apoquel is not expensive it’s about £30 per month. To be fair you don’t have a choice as leaving a dog to itch itself raw is not really an option and obviously an animal welfare issue

@Muminabun If I was happy for my dog to itch herself to death I wouldn't be on this forum. I just wanted to know what the average cost of it would be, that's all. Happy to give her that if that's what makes her better.
