HELP! What could this rash be?

I just notice my puppy is covered in a rash. It's from her chest all the way down her stomach, in the crease of her legs, all of her under side. Should I take her to the vet? Or watch it and see what it does, or it gets better.

I wouldn't freak out right away. Wipe her down really well with a damp cloth and dry her off. Maybe give her a benedryl (dosing is 1 mg/lb). If she gets worse or if it doesn't improve, then contact a vet. Callie broke out after we brought her home. It cleared up within a few days. We still see breakouts in our older dogs sometimes if they lie around outside in the yard.

Yeah I would wash with a cloth and Epsom salts / water mixture and let it dry .. Watch it and see if it gets any worse before you go to the vet. It looks kind of like an allergy rash imo. If I went to the vet each time I saw something that worried me on Sampson id be there multiple times a week! And I'd wash her bedding / anything she lays on just in case she brought the allergen inside with her :)
