Effective supplement for dog's skin allergy?

This would be for skin allergy NOT caused by food, but by something
environmental, perhaps grass and/or pollen maybe even fungal.

Apparently, there are no premium dog foods that address this kind of
allergy other than from food allergy. I'm open to something topical or
to be ingested. Obviously if topical, it would have to food safe in case
the dog licks it. We've gone thru the whole route with medications and
nothing but high dose steroid helps. My dog is a rescued dog which I
adopted 4 wks ago, between 8-11 yrs old, cockapoo. In good health
otherwise.

Hills Prescription Diet (7902) z/d ultra allergen free.

We have a bichon, he is on this and only has a few bouts a year with hot spots,
and not nearly as bad a before.

Good Luck, love all those doggies!!!!!!!

I used to have a St Bernard who had allergies, constant battle.
I started feeding him nature's recipe, turkey and rice, helped alot.
I also gave him fish oil caps and that really helped his skin.
That's what worked for him. Never did figure out exactly what the problem
was. But the natures recipe and fish oil really calmed things down.

here's a website with some info for you:
