Food allegies are getting quite common in more and more breeds today.
If your dog food contains soy, or wheat that is most likely the cause.
I feed Riplee's Ranch Gold and have no problems.
Also if you are giving treats make sure it does not have the wheat and soy
ingrediants.
You can also try putting some Gold Bonds Medicated Foot Powder in his coat,
it will relieve the skin from soreness caused my itching.
