| Can corn in food make them itch? my yorkie has been itching a lot latelly. I don't know if its her food, or if she has dry skin or fleas. she is almost 4 months and isn't on flea meds yet. i'm going to the vet later on this week so i'll find out when to start her on that. Can corn cause them to itch? She is currently eating Eukanuba small bits,small breed. See seems to like it but i'm wondering if its making her itch. Last edited by reese10; 04-12-2006 at 05:34 AM. |

| Hi! Welcome to YT! Yes, lots of pups have corn alergies. You can do a search on "food", "feeding", "feed", "puppy food", etc., and get a ton of good info. Everything I put in my pups mouths was because of recommendations I got here.

| Corn in dog food causes the worst itching and skin allergies of any thing else they eat. If there is corn in your dog food ( and I know there is in Eukanuba), it should be way down near the bottom on the ingrediant list. If it is in the top three, it means that is primarily what the food consists of. |

| Yes like everyone has said the corn in the food does make your dog itch! You can do a search on here and find alot better foods to feed your yorkie rather than Eukanuba.
