Lucy, our 1.5 year old chocolate, has seasonal allergies to an unknown substance(s). She started to suffer from them as a puppy, and on our vet's advice switched to a limited ingredient diet and gave her benadryl when necessary. This was effective, so we didn't need to pursue testing to find out specifically what she's allergic to.
We were able to stop giving her the benadryl late last year, and until now she's been fine. I was actually hoping that maybe she had out outgrown the allergy. No such luck. She just started chewing her feet and she has rashes on her stomache, so back onto the benadryl she goes.
It seems that allergies are pretty prevalent with labs. If anybody has any tips or suggestions, I'd love to hear them...
