Similar problem, Kramer was a xmas present from my husband and he brought him with royal canine, he always had dry hair, but then he started flaking and itching really bad, about two weeks ago i switched him to life's abundance, which is a natural product no corn anything, only off internet though and i mix that with natural choice chicken, rice and oatmeal, or lamb, he is doing, so far so good, still waiting to see a difference in his coat though.
