Sorry - wasn't sure where to put this, but I'm trying to diagnose my dog from work, LOL.
So my BC cross dog was scratching really bad last year on Purina Exclusive, so I changed him to Taste of the Wild in about November. Scratching problems cleared up. About a month ago, I switched TOTW flavors, and he started scratching again, so I assumed food allergy. Switched back, and scratching is still really bad.
He's scratching out a lot of fur, and has given himself sores scratching. Now we've never had to deal with fleas, due to our climate, so I was just checking - if none of the other animals are scratching do you all think I'm looking at an allergy? Probably a seasonal allergy is what I'm thinking, since it started about 1 year ago. (I sure hope so). (I do have a vet appointment, but I'm just worried about the little guy. And fleas gross me out, LOL.)
