But my dog has her big problem mostly in winter and fall (and even into spring). We have had her for 6 years now and it seems that when the heat in theh house goes on, she itches like crazy and itches a little less when the heat is off. Winter is terrible, so do you think it has anything to do with bee pollen, etc.?
