There are many different causes to skin allergies, which means that there are even more treatments that you can consider.

Thanks, Whitney, I'll pass this info onto my parents as one of their dogs is permanently scratching and they and the vet don't know why. Maybe it's a food allergy..

That's highly possible. Typical food allergies go undiagnosed as it's usually the last thing that vets check.

I thought it might be. I'm hoping this info will help Benji, poor pooch.
