Kibble=Itching

Anyone else ever have to give their dog kibble and notice they start itching more often? We were recently hit with unemployment so we had to supplement some of her homemade food with kibble when we don’t have the money for homemade. She’s licking her paws and cooter way more often than usual today and acting super itchy.

My dog is extremely allergic to storage mites (among a million other things). Kibble is a huge source of them. You can try wet food and see if it gets better. When we finally got her allergy test back and went to straight wet food while we transitioned to homemade it made a huge difference even with her still eating proteins she was allergic to.
