If your pup has itchy skin, they could be suffering from food allergies. By switching up their diet with one that does not contain ingredients that trigger their allergies, this may help alleviate uncomfortable symptoms and make life much simpler for both of you.
Many veterinarians will suggest an elimination diet with just two ingredients, like turkey and sweet potatoes, to determine which are allergic triggers for your pet.
