Flea products are very toxic and cause skin problems... I don't use them.. I feed Royal Canin to my dogs and have only one dog that gets skin problems ... She gets itchy and I feel it's a allergy or mite. But she only gets it in the fall... I wash her with Head and shoulders mixed with Sulfadaine..a few drops... She quits itching.. In between baths I sprizts her with sulfadaine too... She's fine now.. But since it's only one of the 14 that I have with it I don't think it's the food... With the line breeding of these dogs, the trait of sensitivity to many things is magified greatly in off spring.
