If the allergy just started, it could be environmental. I'd change foods anyway though (and wait at least 60 days to decide if their is a change in itching after changing). Here are the ingredients to Lamb and Rice Puppy:

Nutro supports the safe, ethical and humane treatment of all animals.


dogs can be allergic to lamb and rice and poultry (and why don't they name the animal that they get the fat from?) and egg and soy. These are all POSSIBLE allergens but some dogs do well on these foods. I'd go to a Natural Balance allergy formula or Wellness if you want to stick with kibble and see how that works. Nutro has also been making some animals very sick.
