My dog has a red, itchy rash on his belly after a trip to the park. What is it?

[]

Answer

A red, itchy rash on your dog's belly after being outdoors could be due to environmental allergies (contact dermatitis from plants/grass), insect bites, or exposure to irritants. Gently clean the area with a mild, pet-safe antiseptic solution. Prevent your dog from licking or scratching the area, as this can worsen the irritation or lead to infection. Monitor the rash for signs of worsening, such as swelling, discharge, or increased pain. If it doesn't improve, spreads, or causes significant discomfort, consult your veterinarian. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
