Itchy ears, or discharge from ears, itchy feet, bumps or itchy skin, dull thin coat are all signs of food allergies in dogs. Usually, the "allergy" is due to poor nutrition. Most people don't realize that the dog food they give their best buddy from the grocery store is causing health problems. Dog food commercials are so well done, it's hard to tell a poor quality food from a high quality food. Good example is Beneful. Great commercials but horrible, terrible food. There are two pet food stores in TV that sell high quality food. The food is a bit higher than grocery store dog food, but you will save money in the long run because you won't have a dog with cancerous growths, hormone problems, seizures, etc. You get the picture...I'd rather put my money into healthy food and have a healthy dog than pay a vet to treat an unhealthy suffering pet.
No, I don't sell dog food, nor do I have any ownership interests in pet food stores. Simply, I just love dogs.
