We've also added lamb for Marcel and Rabbit for Wylie. It is so easy too, way more easy than homecooking.

Hey, I asked Marcel's nutritionist about all the skin stuff I read on here (she works w/ a ton of allergy/skin issues in animals) and she said this: "Skin problems are often very similar to IBS in that they are rooted in food
allergies which if untreated, develop into more and more problems. The
reason is that the skin is an "elimination" organ and when there is
inflammation in the bowels/colon, the body is trying to release the toxins
any way it can--often times it is through the skin. I work with many very
complex skin conditions and most of the time, the pets have hidden bowel
issues such as candida overgrowth." (so, maybe that tells you a little sumpthin' too )
i didn't want to push the raw diet on you but if you are considering it then would switch her cold turkey to the NV venison or rabbit. no chicken, beef, turkey, or lamb just yet because those are too common proteins and might be making her itchy. Morgan used to itch a little bit when she was on kibble but has stopping since switching to raw in the beginning of the year.
