I caught one of the morning news shows pet segment this week and the topic was pet allergies. Dr. Debbie Turner, DVM (she is also a part of the Westminister coverage team) was the guest. The four main causes of why dogs itch she gave were:

flea allergies
airborne allergens
food allergies (the four most common sources - corn, beef, wheat and soy)
contact allergies

I have known of dogs which react to stress and tension in the way Duchess does.
