Hello and thank you very much for reaching out to our service. The most common clinical symptoms of a dog who is allergic to their food have elements of gastrointestinal and dermatologic. So the gastrointestinal signs will be soft store or diarrhea off and on. The dermatologic symptoms of food allergies are licking chewing at paws, chronic ear infections, and chewing or rubbing its rear end. If your dog is displaying any of the symptoms, I urge you to take him to the veterinarian as soon as possible for them to start a 8-10 week hypoallergenic dietary trial. I hope this information has helped you. Have a great day.
