Bebe had been scratching and shaking her head. I took her to the vet as i suspected an ear infection.

The vet said she was more than likely to be allergic to somthing as she also had dry skin. So he gave me some medication for allergies, which seemd to work for a while but when the medication stopped the scratching started again.

I've been doing some research and found out that food can cause an allergic reaction. I use a shampoo i got from the vet so it cant be the shampoo i use.

She's been on royal canin since she was a puppy, so ive decided to change her to another food which is hypoallergenic. It's called James Wellbeloved, its a recommended brand over here in the U.K. Gonna try it for a while and if it doesnt make an improvement then i will go back to vet.

I was wondering if anyone else has had problems with Royal Canin?
