My dog keeps stratching one of her ears and chewing at her paws. Does anyone know if this is due to a food allergy?

i'm not that familiar with dogs, so i'm not sure. if i were you though, i would go to the veterinarian and ask their advice on this.

She could have a food allergy, or an allergy to something else in her environment. I would ask the vet to recommend a food that is formulated for dogs with food allergies. If her condition doesn't improve then she may need testing to find out if it is an allergy, and to what.

I will try eliminating certain foods and if that doesn't work I will have her tested as you suggest. Thank you very much for your help.
