| The itches Hi there, Tia is behaving alot like Thumper from Bambi recently lol. She keeps pounding/ itching her legs all over her body, I can't think why she is doing it? Or what it could be? Throughout the course of the week I have been gradually changing her food from the wet, tin food the breeder gave us to eukanuba puppy lamb and rice (I think thats the variety). I have bathed her with a mild, puppy, shampoo and conditioner, I don't know what to reduce, or what to do!?

| I would guess it is the food, if that is the only change. Eukanuba is not the best food out there. Compare the ingredients in the wet with the dry and try to find what is in the dry that is not in the wet like corn or is it the lamb, and then look for a better quality food such as Merrick, Natural Balance, Wellness. If you search the boards you will get some good ideas |

| Here's a link to the dog food grading. At the bottom is a big list with the grades. Hopefully, you can find something on there available in your area. I have one that struggles with skin allergies, and I can tell you that foods make a HUGE difference - good or bad! http://community.livejournal.com/ratties/4907848.html
