Eukanuba is not garbage food, it's just not right for this case... It's in the upper middle range of foods, not in the same category as Iams and Dog chow as Eukanuba has no by-products in it, but it just has a bit of corn in it which won't resolve your doggy allergies. To resolve allergy issues, you have to switch to a food that has all ingredients your dog has never had. Puppy food is hard to find without corn somewhere in there. It will be very expensive so it is better to be sure that that is the problem.

How old is this dog? Have you checked for fleas or other parasites? Is the itching really bad or could it be dry skin from winter?

For switching you gradually remove a bit of old food and replace it with new over the course of a week to two weeks depending on how sensitive your dog's stomach is.
By the way-- I switched from Eukanuba to Solid Gold Wolf King due to allergies and the stool tripled in size and smells TERRIBLE. It's a doggy specific thing.
