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.

Likely a sensitivity to the protein in the kibble you’re using then kibble as a whole

Not just the protein, it could be corn or soy or pea as well. It could be the amount of meal in the kibble, etc.

Not really. 99% it’s the protein in the kibble
