Michi is almost 7 months old and has always been such a good eater until about a month or so ago. He was on royal canin and would gobble it down in seconds. But he was constantly itching and rubbing himself on the carpet so the vet said he was likely allergic to his food. I switched him to natural balance sweet potato and fish....he loved it but he smelled so bad from it. I couldn't take it anymore so I switched him to the lamb and rice flavor. The smell went away within 2 days and he seemed to really like the food,..although he was still itching a lot. Not so much carpet rubbing anmore but still itching and licking skin. Well after about a month on that food he suddenly didn't want to eat it anymore....at all. I tried the duck and potato formula...he wouldn't touch it. I switched him to canidae...he will only eat it a lil bit at a time and it takes him a while. He will stare at it and at me for a while before he actually eats it and usually leaves quite a bit. He is constantly itching and licking his skin all day and night. I think it may be from the chicken because it is grain free. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to avoid having an allergy test done because it is so expensive...but I may have to end up doing that.
