That food is full of possible allergens (any that contain grains and multiple meat sources are...which is fine but harder to figure out what one it is). I would try Natural Balance because of their novel protein sources and sweet potato and white potato are good for some dogs with allergies. Besides the chicken in the Wellness, she could be allergic to millet, barley, rice, flaxseed... Scratching ears, chin, jaws and having itchy paws are a good clue to food allergies but if her legs are bothering her and her back was itchy, it may be something else. Did this start when her skin started to flake?
After changing foods, it might take up to 60-90 days for her to stop itching completely if that is the problem. If she is so itchy that it has become a quality of life issue, I would let the vet give her something. What do they say about these itchies?
