Hi Freddy,
Your question is so short, it might have been cut off, but if you are looking for a pet food that will not trigger your dog's allergies, in my opinion the best thing to do is to start with a visit to the vet - just to rule out any other causes of the symptoms you're seeing.
Your vet may recommend a pet food that has just one major meat ingredient (e.g., lamb or turkey) and one major carbohydrate (e.g., sweet potato), with some other ingredients. It can be pricey, especially if your purchase it directly from the vet.
Another option is to cook for your dog or feed raw. There is a Dogster forum that goes into tons of details on how to feed raw. It's a great way to go, but it does take some research and learning on your part, and may be less convenient than buying dog food.
The most important thing is to read the labels of anything that goes into your dog. Corn, wheat, and gluten are common allergens and should not be in your pet's food.
Hope this helps - good luck!

We've been there and done that with the food allergy thing. Definitely check with your vet about what ingredients need to be avoided.
The food that worked for us was Natural Balance Duck & Potato. There are a lot of great options out there.

My dog seemed to have some food allergies also. I was told to eliminate chicken and rice from her diet because those are two major ingredients in most dog foods so allergies have developed in dogs. I also feed her Natural Balance: Duck and Sweet Potato. It's great stuff! Don't forget to check ingredients on treats as well! Most have some form of poultry in them, even it it's just bone or stock. Hope that helps!
