Hi Anne, and welcome to the group! I understand that she doesn't have fleas, but is that because she was given on of the spot on flea meds by you or her previous owner? Or has she been given any type of flea preventive? Some dogs are very sensitive to any type of flea preventative. It could even be the shampoo or a rinse or a spray that you are using on her. Perfumed detergents being used on her bed or clothes and blankets can also cause it. It doesn't always have to be food that they are allergic to, although that is on the top of the list.
There is also the possibility that it can be mange. Not all mange is transferable to humans and the most common ones are treatable. You will need to take her to the Vet for a skin scraping to find out for sure what it is. You mentioned that she has allergies, what type and what are they?

About a year ago or so ago, she lost all the hair on her belly and chest. She grew a little back. Now she losing fur in a couple patches on her back. It doesn't seem to be itchy and it is in a spot on her back she cannot reach. It is not ringworm and she does not have fleas. Anyone have any input? She does suffer from allergies. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Anne
