I dont know if its her food or the other shampoo, but she has basically scratched all the hair around her neck right off! And she is going to get sores.... I am taking her to the vet ASAP, but not sure if its an allergy caused by the new food or the shampoo- like I said we (Jeremy and I) both have noticed her skin being itchier with the change of shampoo, but not sure! Keep my poor scratchy girl in your thoughts, I will keep you all posted!
Lots of dogs are allergic to grains. Make sure your first 5 ingredients are not corn. Yes food has lots to do with allergies. You say she is scratches around her neck area. Bet she has ear mites or an infection. Do you clean her ears after each bath? Water will collect and will cause fungus to grow. Use a good ear cleaner and make sure the canal is clean and dry. Your vet will show you how. Best of luck to you and let us know.
