Dog has bloat, pukes, yellow poop, itching. What food for allergies?

Question

We are slowly switching Pepper's food to what our other dogs eat but she is getting very bloated, puking, and having yellow poop after eating. She also starts licking the floor, ground, and blankets. She starts scratching more too. We have read that it could be a food intolerance and trying to figure out what food we should feed her. Right now we have been told to have her eat rice. Pet's info: Dog | BullBoxer | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 25 days old | 11 lbs

Poor Pepper! If she has a food allergy/intolerance issue, then she needs to be on a strict veterinary prescription food allergy diet like Hills Z/D or Royal Canin Anallergenic. These diets are called "hydrolyzed protein" diets because they have gone through a special cooking process that breaks down potential allergens in the diet so Pepper's immune system doesn't recognize them as a problem. She needs to eat one of these diets exclusively for 8-10 weeks to see if there is a benefit. Hope that helps!
