There are many possible causes for allergies, food sensitivities is definitely possible but there could be many other options. In order to rule this in or out, a 6-8weeks trial on a hydrolysed diet such as royal canin hypoallergenic or hills z/d is recommended - if improvement is noted then food is a likely trigger, if not then further investigation is required. If food is the trigger for her itching it can be a slow process of gradually reintroducing ingredients to see which cause flare ups or to find a suitable diet which suits her
