Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 37 lbs
My dog, 10 months old, female, keeps scratching and nibbling her legs and back, and sniffing everything all the time. I gave her the needed vaccinations, full grooming, and she’s tick and flea free. Could it be the food? I feed her beef kibbles.

Food allergies can cause scratching and itching. A 12week food trial of a hydrolyzed diet or limited ingredient sensitive diet can help to explore the extent of her symptoms that are triggered by food. No treats, snacks or flavoured tablets can be fed during this trial
