Hi Maria,
I am new to this group and saw your post about your poo having allergies. My poo, Abby, had a horrible time with itching all the time, I felt so bad for her, she had to be so miserable. I went thru a host of dogfoods for a while then found one that has venison and rice (the hard kind) and she is better now. I watch her close when I feed her any treats and yesterday I gave her some of the can venison and rice (as a treat) and this morning she was itching more, under her chin. So I am thinking there may be something in the can food that she doesnt tolerate well. I also use oatmeal shampoo and I had her groomed a couple of weeks ago and noticed she had stopped itching considerably so I am going to get some of their shampoo and conditioner. I know you are frustrated and hope you find some resolution to your itchy dilemma.
