Once the body is in a state of suppression, the dog will worsen when put on a better dog food as the toxins leave the body until the body has detoxed. So the average person runs their dog to the vet to have the vet prescribe Prednisone (synthetic steroid used to boost the immune system). Prednisone temporarily boosts the immune system but in the long run lowers it. So the client sees that their dog is getting better and when the body has to take over, again the immune system can not handle the allergens in the food. It becomes a vicious cycle. Now the one I love the most is when the vet will tell the client to put the dog on a food that is not much better than the grocery store food and is made at the same manufacturer with a different label. It's a vicious cycle. And if the dog scratches, which most dogs do because they are miserable, then a bacterial infection can set in resulting in antibiotics. The antibiotics heal the skin, the client thinks the dog is better, they feed the same foods but sure enough...back to the vet they go in due time. The vet makes money, the owner believes they are doing what is best for the poor dog and until the food is changed, the cycle continues until gradually the dog's body is too weak. Wolves never hunted for kibble.
Until a dog is serum tested to find out exactly what the cause of the allergen most vets will blame it on food and pass it off as genetics and poor breeding.
