My dog has crusty eyes and hot skin after changing food. Allergies?

Question

Hey I changed Zeus’s food to wellness adult food and every since then he keeps eye boogers and now I just noticed it seem like his whole body is burning up even his paw pads. Can he be allergic to this food? He has been on it for 2 weeks. Oscar are some and he got eye boogies bad and he hardly ever has them. Zeus’s is so bad his whole eye has crust around them.

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! It definitely could be related to the food change or it is environmental allergies. The fall can cause allergies for sure. If you want to rule one thing at a time out, you can either do a course of antihistamines until the first frost and see if things with the eyes and skin improve as long as they aren’t miserable and itchy or change the diet first and wait to start the medication. Good luck! https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/zyrtec/
