There is Yeast in her food and grains. A lot of dogs have issues with those. I know, it seems odd that brown rice could irritate a dog--but it does to some of mine.

Although you should always talk to your vet, I would recommend switching her a GRAIN FREE AND YEAST FREE brand (I say Wellness because I the most familiar with their food and have great results with it).

I have Prissy on "Wellness CORE Deboned Turkey and Whitefish". The reason I like this food is because IT IS GRAIN FREE. FREE OF ALL GRAINS. It has potatoes in it.

Now that particular one I have Prissy on is Low-Fat (she had some weight issues). But not all of Wellness CORE products are Low-Fat.
