Dog Allergies and Dog Food. Where is the link?
It has been proven that certain pet food that contain substandard ingredients will cause dog allergies and even cancer.
The other day my Vet told me my pet has dog allergies. He had run some tests and he found nothing wrong with my dog even though Scruffy had sores all over his body and he was scratching all over.
He suggested that I go on a new dog food that was available from his vet practice to control the allergies. I bought some of the food and my dog hated it. And it was expensive!
The only place I could buy it from was the vet's office because it was only sold by prescription. My dog, who weighs 60 pounds eats a lot of kibble and I bought a big bag for $55.00 and a case of canned food for $24.00. Along with the vet bill for the ailment that they could not find, came to $200.00. Was I being taken?
Now times are hard. I can't spend $74.00 twice a month for my dog food. Plus he hated the taste. I looked into Prescription foods and they are basically a way for a vet to make more money off you when there the tests have been done and nothing is wrong with your dog. Dog allergies is a big business.
The best thing you can do if your pet has developed dog allergies is to switch to a holistic food from a specialty dog food store. 
I was appalled. I don't want my dog to be sick and scratching all the time from dog allergies. I don't have the money for it.
