How long does it take for food allergies to show up?

I'm currently in the process of switching our dog Max from one flavor of wellness to another. (the whitefish and sweet potato to the chicken formula) It hasn't been quite a week, so he has one more transition day left. I've noticed he's been scratching a lot lately and honestly can't remember if he started before switching food flavors of after. Can a food allergy show up this fast? He's never had a food problem before, even when we had him on Purina Pro Plan when we first got him.

We know he has a spring pollen allergy, too. It's been fairly warm here (Michigan and we hit the 50's over the weekend!) so we were out in the yard playing with him a lot. Maybe something thought it was spring and pollinated and irritated him? Planning on giving him a bath once H gets home to see  if that helps.

 Do you think one option is more likely than the other?

  • Darwin itches within about 24 hours of eating something he is allergic too, and it can take weeks to clear his system.
