1 was Bella would not keep her tongue out of his ears. He also licked his feet, so i took him off the grains. Are you still feeding natural balance? if so change to another meat. Also i would stray the ears with bitter apple to keep other mouths off.

I believe you are what you eat. I have cleared up yeasty ears within a couple of days by changing the dog's food. Other times, it has not been so easy and I've had to try different foods before finding something that works.
Something else to note is that a dog may do fine on a food for six months and then start developing an allergy to it. That happened to one of my dogs. I switched from NB fish to NB duck and he did much better.

Something else I just suggested to someone else below is Zymox ear treatment. Here is the link- read about it and read the reviews too.

I don't rescue animals because I want to feel better about myself, or morally superior to anyone. The best part of my life with animals is the humility they teach and the humanity the foster.

by itchy red toes and other minor skin irritations/infections that persist (keep returning)and those are generally believed to be caused by allergies. Now as to which allergies are causing the problem, testing will give many answers but not all. The first suggestion is to try another protein (meat) source and another starch (grain) source and see if that helps...remembering that it usually takes about 3-4wks to see a difference. Some have changed to grain-free products when they believe a food allergy is present and there are a number of companies making such products so they are relatively easy to find. When changing your dog over to another food type, its best to do it gradually over one weeks time: 2-3 days of 1/4 new and 3/4 old, then 2-3 days of 1/2 each, then last 2-3 days of 3/4 new and 1/4 old type...to avoid stomach upset/diarrhea. Also look at the percentage of protein in the two foods...bulldogs generally do well with ~20%. If you are sure your dog has multiple food allergies, you should consider switching to a raw diet (some make their own, some buy frozen) and it may be a bit more costly but many have had great satisfaction with this choice.
