Hi All: I did an article on this subject on my blog back on October 6,
2009. The material I wrote was taken from an article that a vet. wrote
about this subject. The first paragraph reads.........When researching
for this article, I found it very interesting to learn that food
allergies in dogs is very uncommon. Further, it is a condition that is
over diagnosed by some veterinarians. According to an article written by
a veterinarian, only 10% of dog allergies are food related. Flea and
environmental allergies will cause more itchiness and skin problems than
a food allergy.
I'm sorry, I forgot who started this thread, but if she wants to read
the article she can check out my blog here:

Then she needs to go to the archive on the left hand side of the page
and the article is in the October section. I hope this helps a
little. Barbara
