  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
