I just started my boys on eukanueba Yorkie, they LOVE it! finally! They are so picky and my fletch was getting soo skinny... he is finally putting on some weight. hes gotta be almost 10lbs now! But he was like 8.5lbs bc he was all bones! At least they eat this stuff and like it a lot.. so Im staying with it! I know people will say its not the best quality, but sometimes its more important that they EAT at all...
I live in the boston area too!

I know what you mean about dry and itchy. My boys skin seems pretty good, but they dont get baths too too often in the winter so I dont dry them out.
