My bichon was scratching really bad then we realized she is allergic to poultry. Never had this problem before, but now she does. She's also allergic to grass. We feed her orijen dry food and Evo 95% beef can dog food. We took her off all grains a long time ago. We also give her 1/2 teaspoon of brewers yeast every morning. Her scratching is a lot better. She also goes to the groomers regularly too. The things we do for our pets
