Reputation: 997. I have a dog with bad allergies--- I have the vet bills to prove it. We use Zyrtec and that's based off of a vet dermatologist recommendation. I don't know what you consider severe but I consider my dog to have severe allergies and she requires weekly allergy shots and special baths. If your dogs allergies are that bad, you may want to consider bringing him to a dermatologist. If they recommend a skin test, be prepared to hear that'll run around $1200- I am so thankful I have pet insurance. If you regularly bathe your dog, ask your vet for medicated shampoo and conditioner.
