Every dog is different
could be anything - cleaners, laundry soap/softeners, food, lawn treatments, pollen and the list goes on. Try giving Benedryl, might help to relieve the allergic reaction.
Good luck

Thank you. I'll try anything. Patty
Doseage is 25mg per 50 pounds.
I would try a grain free food and have allergy testing done. Benadryl will help with the hives for now.

Some experience...
I have some experience with this. One of my bulldogs kept getting hives over and over one spring, after a couple trips to the pet ER and to his regular vet, we got him to a dermatologist. We narrowed it down to a lawn treatment. The dermatologist put him on a daily dose of HYDROXYZINE, I think I spelled that right. He said that was the best antihistamine to control hives. Benadryl wasn't working for him at all, and this did. He stayed on a daily dose his whole life. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Thank you for your response. Benedryl dosnt work for her. I think it makes it worse. I am looking up hydroxine for dogs. What mg do you give?
