Why do my dog's eyes tear after eating dry food? Is it an allergy?

Question

Hello Dr. My dog is tearing after eating her dry food (Dr. Clauders lamp and rice sensitive) it's been one year on this food and 3months when she started to tear after eating. I noticed sometimes she doesn't tear up and sometimes she does. She does not tear while eating her bone treat only after dry food lunch/Or dinner. What do you suggested Dr? I am really confused because I ask and no one know the reason for now. What Should I do specific tests? Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Female | spayed | 9 years and 7 months old | 61.72 lbs

This could be related to the active chewing/swallowing affecting the drainage of tears or may even be due to a sensitivity to certain ingredients. I would try transitioning her to a hydrolyzed diet such as royal canin anallergenic for an 8 week trial period to rule in or out any food sensitivities. If negative, flushing the tear ducts and a full oral/throat exam under sedation may help to identify any blockages
