A red, itchy rash, especially after a walk, could be due to several things. Contact dermatitis from plants or irritants on the ground is common, as are insect bites. Less likely but still possible are allergies, either environmental or food. If your dog is excessively licking or scratching, it could lead to a secondary skin infection. Keep the area clean and try to prevent further irritation. Avoid applying human creams unless directed by a vet. If the rash spreads, becomes pus-filled, or your dog seems unwell, a vet visit is essential. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
