Food allergy?

[LilWaffles]

I posted a different thread regarding taking my dog to the vet for an ear infection yesterday but I've noticed a couple things since.

1. Itching of the face still
2. Itching the ear that's not being treated
3. I've noticed on 3 occasions when I fed him, he started itching his face almost immediately after. (Going to keep my eye on this, maybe a coincidence)
4. Has scooted his bum today, he rarely does this

His plastic bowls have been swapped out, and his bedding has been cleaned.

It really seems like a food allergy to the royal canin at this point.

Anyone else discover this issues in their dog who had a food allergy?

Food allergies in dogs are rare at about 10%.
I have a dog with a food allergy and isu she vomits and breaks out in hives when eating a food she is allergic to.
It is more likely an environmental allergy but you could switch food if you think that's the issue.

It's hard to say as food allergies are rare...you could def try switching foods since some dogs are very sensitive to corn, and RC does have a lot of corn in it.

I use blue buffalo grain free preservative free. Mine have food allergies and displayed symptoms of itching and vomiting. Some of the pet stores will allow food return if you have a receipt. With the Blue Buffalo you don't have to integrate the food just start from day one 100%. Good luck

Those symptoms are classic signs of food allergy. I'd switch.
