My dog Brandon, American Staffordshire Terrier / Rottweiler mix has been suffering as having allergic contact dermatitis and irritant contact dermatitis diagnosed.

Frequent food allergies or respiratory tract allergies (dust, pollen, etc.). Some dogs have problems with the pollen of both inhalation and direct contact.
