Hi Andre; Yes, Pitbulls or pit mixes are very prone to all kinds of allergies.  Sure, environmental allergies are a big problem.  Here are some things to help:

If it is a grass allergy ( possible: )  Please wipe the paws 2 x per day with an unscented baby wipe.
Follow up, every night, with some NuVET Hot spot spray - it has tea tree oil in the spray.  This Hot spot spray from NuVET works great for itchy paws and hot spots, too.
SEE ordering link below:

Next, continue with the food you are currently feeding and add the following supplements:
1/2 cup per day of Activia yogurt ( must be the ACTIVE probiotic cultured yogurt)  - any flavor:
**Van flavor is the best one.
Do this 1/2 cup of Activia brand for 3 weeks ....
~~~~~ AFTER that, do the same amount Every - Other - Day... for 2 more weeks.
This will help to balance out the excess yeast related to allergies.  ( Yeast is on the skin, in the gut and intestines....)

Last - The best pitbull vitamin / supplement in the USA - NuVET wafers - give your baby 2 per day for the first 10 days and then go down to (1 1/2) wafers of NuVET Plus long term.
NuVET Plus is an Allergy Blaster and Immune System Booster - will help to fight off the allergens that are hitting your pitbull kid.
NuVET also helps to reduce inflammation and heals, too.
