    Pits and Labs be very allergic to beef and wheat ingredients in canned food, kibbles, treats

    Avoid wheat and beef in food, milbones greenies, rawhide

    Chicken strips can even cause itching

    Add i tbsp canola, olive,saflower, or soy daily to make skin healthier. Dog food does not have enough oils for some dogs like yours

     2 eggs per week

    Did you try claritin or benadryl?

    I have seen 100s of these allergic dogs and addingoils and avoiding allergens works
