Question
Hi,
I have a 1 or 2 yr old Boston that I adopted 3 weeks ago. He scratches like crazy. He was on Pedigree at his foster home. I put him on Iams, the vet said he has food allergies, feed him on food with meat and sweet potatoe. I chose Wellness for small breeds. He likes it. But, still scratching, I figured he needs more simplicity. I am feeding him a grain-free food with 32% protein of chicken and sweet poatoe-no barley. Will he ever stop scratching?

Answer
Boston Terrier Allergies,

Hi Melanie, It may also be Environmental allergies along with the food allergies.
I would love to suggest a few herbs and a supplement...
Also, an oil will be helpful..

What did the Vet order for meds or shampoo?
contact me at the e-mail above.

Thanks
