My dog with food allergies is itching again after a food switch. What to do?

Question

My dog has been diagnosed with food allergies since he was a puppy. The vet told me which foods it probably would be and had me put him on Purina pro plan sensitive skin. It worked and he stopped itching, but a couple weeks ago he refused to eat his food and started having diarrhea, he would eat the other dogs food, but not his own. So we switched to blue and I made sure it didn’t have the possible things he could be allergic to in if, but he’s starting to itch again. What would you suggest i do.

Hi, I would either try to reintroduce Purina food gradually and if not tolerating it, source another hypoallergenic diet such as Hill’s Z/D for example. Have a look to see if wet food is available in the Purina range, there definitely is in the Hill’s one. If itchiness is severe and distressing, I would recommend to see your vet so he can dispense some medications to help promptly. Hope this helps and that things settle again soon.
