Well, you clearly fit in here!

Here are the ingredients in the RC Skin Support (I'd pee on my bowl too!):

Ingredients:
ROYAL CANIN Veterinary Diet™ canine SKIN SUPPORT SS 21 Dry
Rice, brown rice, Menhaden fish meal, rice gluten, chicken fat, natural flavors, cellulose powder, dried beet pulp, curcumin, vegetable oil, salmon oil, L-tyrosine, calcium carbonate, potassium chloride, sodium chloride, taurine, choline chloride, borage oil, vitamins [DL-alpha-tocopherol acetate (source of vitamin E), inositol, niacin, L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (source of vitamin C), D-calcium pantothenate, biotin, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), riboflavin (vitamin B2), thiamine mononitrate (vitamin B1), vitamin A acetate, folic acid, vitamin B12 supplement, vitamin D3 supplement], aloe vera extract, trace minerals [zinc amino acid chelate, zinc oxide, ferrous sulfate, manganese amino acid chelate, copper amino acid chelate, copper sulfate, manganous oxide, sodium selenite, calcium iodate], marigold extract, preserved with natural mixed tocopherols, rosemary extract, and citric acid.

The highlighted items are often allergy causing! I am personally not a fan at all of any RC products - they are really below average. If it were me, I would elect to choose a better quality (and probably better tasting) allergy kibble. These icky ingredients could be contributing to why she's bouncing off the walls too. The SS is a fish based diet - so if it were me, I'd instead get my paws on Orijen's 6-Fish. Orijen is an incredible kibble, as far as kibbles go - and way superior to RC.

As for treats - would "chewy" things help? You could try Caviar Fish Stix, but I think you'd have to order online - unless you have a premium pet store near you that might sell them...
