We have had Riley for 5 months. We have learned a few things about through our own trial and errors. 1. He is allergic to flea bites. Broke in a awful rash and was just miserable (for some front line plus and he hasn't had a problem since) 2. He is allergic to doggie diapers. On our quest to prevent accidents when we leave him we discovered another allergy.
Third.. I think he has an allergy to certain foods.

You see all of this rash around his tail (diaper), rash on his belly (fleas) and the constant biting at his laws and rolling on his back to aid an itch has happened around the same time. Once we got him a good bath and flea medicine the belly rash went away. Once we quit using diapers, the rash around his tail went away. Yet he is still biting at his paws to the point on paw on the top is losing fur. A lite bare paw. So that only leaves one other change, food.

Originally we were feeding him wellness. Never noticed any scratching on his part. Problem was, we were bit with rough Times during the summer (I didn't have an income until a few weeks ago) so we had to change his food for the summer.. Knowing he had eaten beneful before we got him we bought some just to make it through summer. The scratching began. It doesn't take a genius to figure it out. I feel bad enough my poor pup ate that garbage until I could find some work. Thankfully a neighbor had some blue buffalo she gave us to use some so he did get a few weeks of decent food.

So now the question I've come across, for a dog with who obviously prone to allergies what is the best food for him? I've read raves about raw diet but I have also read there is no scientific proof of its benefits? Most would say just go back to wellness, the thing is though he really didn't like it. Didn't eat it much or well at all. He just didn't like the taste.

So thoughts in raw diet? If not raw, good food recommendations for a dog prone to allergies?
