Maddie used to have very dry skin...so I've been switching her food around (the food she was originally on was RC Yorkie). She's now on a blend of Merrick, Canidae, and Innova, with some chicken broth or gravy or a couple tablespoons of Merrick canned mixed in once a day (this also has Missing Link in it)...and just plain dry of the three in the evening. Her skin has improved some...although it's still dry...and I noticed she scratches quite a bit and sneezes a lot. She seems very healthy, no other issues...and I use a gentle shampoo with oatmeal that I wash her in every other week (unless she's really dirty).

Could it be possible that she has allergies? Do they make allergy medicine for dogs? Has anyone had experience with this?
