We switched from chicken flavored kibble to beef flavored kibble (same brand). dog always had "allergies", but since around the time of that food change, he started having a lot worse skin issues on his belly and groin; some of it almost looks like psoriasis. I'm pretty sure it is the food, something in beef formulation that isn't in the chicken. Since we're changing food anyway, I'm figuring it's a good time to try to convince the wife (who babys him, but takes no responsibility for his actual day-to-day well being) to let me take him raw carnivore. (although I'm not going to sell it as that, exactly).
I'm pretty sure I will resolve most if not all of his "allergies." via eliminating processed crap. And if he does better with beef than chicken, I'll deal with that, but it will be very easy to tell.
