Is your dog is constantly itching, scratching, and biting fur, and you can’t figure out why? Maybe you’ve felt like you’ve tried everything from changing grooming routines to special shampoos, and even medications. But have you tried changing your dog’s diet?
Food is one culprit behind allergic reactions like itchiness in dogs that owners can often overlook. In fact, there are dog food allergies and dog food intolerances which produce similar symptoms, and just like humans, canines can suffer from either or both. Food allergies in dogs can cause not only digestive problems like vomiting and diarrhea, they also tend to cause those painful skin issues, and can even lead to behavioral problems. If you or your vet suspect that your pup may have be having an adverse reaction to certain foods, and you’re wondering what it all means, you’re in the right place.
