Chronic ones tend to be food allergy driven. I am not sure what you
feed your dog, but the least expensive route to try first is a
wheat/corn/soy free brand. Many pet stores have their own now and a
20-25lb bag is often 11$ or so. You still have to treat the ear
infection completely but if it was wheat or corn (more likely than
soy), it won't come back. You have to check treats too for wheat or
corn (includes chews).
That said, a meat allergy is supposed to be more common, but it's
harder to figure out which one and seems to take longer to get
'results' than if it is wheat or corn.
Does the dog seem to chew or overgroom compared to others? I might add
some breeds are a bit more proe to this so a breed type (even if mixed)
helps.
