Same as above. Switched to Orijen 6fish and nary an itch since... unless they happen to get a treat (NOT from us!) or something that is chicken based.

Small amounts like a treat don't seem to bother Snuffles most of the time, but he tends to get very loose in the rear end department.
I always say one of the main reasons his old owner gave him to me, was they had changed him to a chicken based food about the time they decided to get rid of Snuffles, and he left a BIG pile in the living room when the wife was out of town on business. Poor Mikey had to clean it up, and he got grossed out cleaning the yard.

Same here, except Tug's ears still get itchy, but it's mostly due to swimming and fighting like a Tiger not to have his ears cleaned :smashy:

I've seen quite a few dogs that reacted to chicken based foods but were fine with actual chicken. I wonder if it's something used in the processing.

I wonder about all these allergies too. As to wether it is from the preservatives. Like Annabelle's wheat allergy, but she can eat home baked bread with no issue's. But any wheat in anything bought and she goes red.............Hmmmmmm

Sophie's chicken issues are mostly with her ears. They will go from fine to almost swelled shut in just a couple of days...Red, inflamed and gunky. She will also get loose behind.
Haven't really noticed any skin/licking issues though.

When we switched Tsunami to Orijen chicken based, we saw scratching and paw licking and very loose stool we were just starting to see dry skin as well.... since we have switched him back all those have cleared right up. I don't think home cooked chicken affects him the same though.

The thing with the allergies is that so many are not reactive to the product when it's not IN dog food. We farm...and I can guarantee you that the wheat that is in the flour you buy is a very different grade of wheat than the crap they are putting in the dog food. The same goes for chicken etc. I sincerely believe that the allergies are often to something they are "doing" to that product before it reaches the dogs...so many dogs can eat chicken but not chicken based dog food. I wonder about the chemicals used in the process or, as Ronnie stated, the preservatives.

One of mine gets very runny poops from chicken..corn and wheat and soy can do the same thing.

I sometimes boil white meat chicken and rice as a topper for my gang. A special treat for their kibble if you will. No issues with it if I add it but let me open a can of wet food that is chicken based to use as a topper and WOWZA! The hot spots appear on the bellies and the itches begin.
I stopped using them.
Weird...

My dogs with chicken allergies also got HORRIBLY loose stools.
