Very Itchy Scrumpy!

Scrump has always been an itchy boy, but this is mad, he scratches all the time now, vet seems to think its a diet issue.

so can any reccomend any dog food that cures itchy skin and promotes healthy skin?

thanks

Not had any experience of Hills.

I feed Star on Burns, which is supposed to be good for skin problems and other illnesses. Not sure if you have tried it.

We also use the Nature Diet Gold. Do you use the sensitive one

have tried all of naturediet range, must be something in there which is annoying him.
May give this hills and burns a try, i have heard great things about burns.

Doesnt it take like 10 weeks until you know if food agrees with the dog or not?

I think it takes a while, not sure how long. If you look on the Burns website you might get some info there about itchy dogs

I heard Canidae was excellent for itching dogs.

I know you say it's diet related but why not give him an Oatmeal bath it helps relive itching.
