Our 5 month old Great Pyr has been biting and scratching himself since we brought him home. I've had him on Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin & Stomach Salmon & Rice Formula dry food for Puppies and he hated eating it, often leaving most uneaten. I changed to a grain free, GO! SENSITIVITIES Limited Ingredient Salmon Grain-Free Dry Dog Food. I felt like it was working because he ate every bit and seemed to stop itching so much. But now it seems to be getting back the same. I bathe him in dawn soap. I've tried sensitive shampoos for puppies but nothing seems to give him any relief. Do I need to give him a supplement or some sort of oil for his skin? I've also tried pineapple and papaya as they are suppose to soothe inflammation - he liked it at first but not so much now.
Also, our vet gives him a monthly flee control and they changed it up to one they know has no side effects but I wonder if that may be the problem. They don't want to give him any allergy shots because he is so young but I feel so bad for him. I give him Benadryl occasionally but do not see where it has helped either. Thanks for your advice!
