My dog is eating Honest Kitchen and chicken leg quarters. He’s gotten increasingly itchy, do you have any suggestions?
Full Question:
Hi Cindy,I love your website, found you when looking for a muzzle for my rock eating labrador. I started him on the Honest Kitchen(Force) after surgery for rock removal. I have since added chicken quarters and then tried some beef after several weeks of chicken. He has gotten increasingly itchy and I have gone back to just feeding chicken quarters and a small amount of Honest Kitchen(Force). He is still very itchy and I am concerned that maybe something in the Honest Kitchen is making him so itchy. I have added Salmon oil to his diet several weeks ago and he gets a 400 IU capsule of vit E daily, along with 1/4 teas of vit C powder and 1/2 teas of a probiotic with no dairy products. Any suggestions???

Cindy's Answer:
The only way to know what might be making him itch is to feed only one thing, like chicken (with no supplements or anything). Do this for a period of time and see if the itching goes away. If it does then add one new thing and only feed that for a couple of weeks, and so on.
I’d look at the chicken you are feeding, to make sure there isn’t any added solution. It will be listed on the label. Sometimes there are ingredients injected in to chicken we buy at the store to increase the weight and it may cause sensitivities in some dogs (I happen to own one of those dogs).
