• Over the past six years we have come across a very large number of owners who are concerned that their dogs have some sort of skin problem, often resulting in a dog that seems to itch and scratch excessively. Sometimes this can lead to a number of other skin problems, as the dog scratches itself raw and the skin is then prone to infections.

• Many animals become over sensitive to flea bites (actually to the flea saliva), and once sensitized in this way a single bite can cause a severe reaction and the dog will scratch itself raw. If you suspect there are fleas in your dog’s environment you must treat all your animals and your home with products which really work. ...
• If the dog is scratching around the ears and neck, and/or chewing at the feet, we always check the ears for ear mite. The usual sign is brown wax and a tell-tale smell; clean ears are pink and sweet smelling! The microscopic mite which causes the ear infection can migrate onto the surface of the skin, and the dog transfers it over the body by scratching. The dog scratches at the ears, and the mite gets between the toes, leading to furious foot chewing. ... One elderly small dog was suffering so badly with ear problems and scratching itself raw, that it was almost put to sleep. ...
• Food Allergies and Intolerances.
• I frequently hear vets and nutritionists saying that very few dogs have a true food allergy. Whether the reaction is due to an ‘allergy’ or to an ‘intolerance’ doesn’t matter to the dog - but in our experience there are vast numbers of dogs which react badly to certain ingredients in their normal food. There are three main ways in which the dog reacts; skin problems, digestive problems, and hyperactivity - and sometimes all three in the same dog! I have often recommended a change of food, and when the owner returns to thank me for ‘curing’ a long-term skin problem or digestive problem, they mention that the dog is also much calmer and easier to live with. The owner thinks I have waved a magic wand - in reality I have simply explained to them what to feed their dog.

• Then we continue to feed these high calorie commercial puppy foods for several months of the dog’s development, and this is in direct opposition to what would naturally occur in the wild. ...
• However, not all adult formulas are appropriate for growth, because the dog has to consume far to many calories to obtain the suitable amounts of vitamins, minerals and amino acids necessary for proper wellness. ...
• That is why it is of the utmost importance to use a "super premium" quality food, when using an adult formula for growth. ...
• How Do I Select A Food For Growth?.

• CVM had to determine if dog food could contain residues of the drug.

• In order to determine if pentobarbital residues were present in animal feeds, CVM developed a sophisticated process to detect and quantify minute levels - down to 2 parts per billion of pentobarbital in dry dog food. To confirm that the methods they developed worked properly, CVM scientists used the methods to analyze dry commercial dog foods purchased from retail outlets near to their Laurel, MD, laboratories. The scientists purchased dog food as part of two surveys, one in 1998 and the second in 2000. ...
• Dogs, cats not found in dog food .
• Because pentobarbital is used to euthanize dogs and cats at animal shelters, finding pentobarbital in rendered feed ingredients could suggest that the pets were rendered and used in pet food. ...
• CVM scientists, as part of their investigation, developed a test to detect dog and cat DNA in the protein of the dog food. All samples from the most recent dog food survey (2000) that tested positive for pentobarbital, as well as a subset of samples that tested negative, were examined for the presence of remains derived from dogs or cats. ...

Food intolerances can result in diarrhea or vomiting and do not create a typical allergic response. Food intolerances in pets would be similar to people that get diarrhea or an upset stomach from eating spicy or fried foods.

When I asked her the Plausibility Question, she recalled that a large Labrador retriever, a big black dog, had eaten her kittens when she was four, and she cried a long, long time. I asked her what kind of dog was it that her boss had brought to the office the day before that triggered her "dog allergy" and she said, "Omigod! It was a Labrador retriever!" Over the 35 years since that childhood incident she had thought she had a "dog allergy" and all her doctors agreed and prescribed drugs for her. What she really had was a doylic event stored that consisted of puffy eyes, difficulty breathing, and these were triggered by the presence of a big, black dog, a Labrador retriever. So she had a "dog allergy" that was specific to Labrador retrievers, and had actually had other types of dogs as pets in her past. ...

• Mississippi State University's College of Veterinary Medicine specialists, Cory Langston, in community practice, and Juli Gunter, in veterinary dermatology, offered clues to determine if a dog has allergies.
• The four types of allergies dogs suffer from are flea, food, inhalant and contact allergies. ...
• "Many owners mistakenly believe that constant licking is due to boredom or a behavioral problem, when in fact the skin of the dog is just constantly itching," Langston said.
• This allergic reaction is not to the flea itself, but rather to proteins in its saliva, which means one or two fleas can make the dog itch all over. ...
• "Though the signs highly suggest a flea allergy, if the cause is in doubt, a skin test can confirm the diagnosis," Langston said.
• Symptoms of food and inhalant allergies are similar and include the dog having itchy skin, licking their front paws, rubbing their faces on carpeting and experiencing chronic ear infections.
• "Owners should realize that their dog can develop allergies to certain foods over time, which means even though he does not react to beef now, he could later on become allergic to it," Gunter said.
• Dogs are usually not allergic to a particular brand of dog food, but rather an ingredient, such as beef, pork, chicken, lamb, milk, eggs, fish, corn, soy or wheat.
• The MSU veterinarians said to determine a food allergy by placing the dog on a trial diet for 10 to 12 weeks that consists of proteins such as fish, duck or venison and excludes all treats, flavored rawhides and bones. If the dog still reacts, try different diets. Once a food allergy has been identified, keep the dog on a special diet that eliminates that food for the rest of its life.
