I think maybe your right it's the food. Cuz, I don't know what else..although alot of the itching started after he was treated for fleas in ticks with K9 Advantage. Do you think that would make him scratch? My little 6lb yorkie seems just fine. But, I think I'll try the food 1st. and go from there. Thank you all for your help.

Also, maybe supplement her diet with Flax Oil--it's great for dry skin (and eyes, and coat and several other things). If you've checked for fleas and there are no signs of them, I wouldn't worry about trying to treat her for them.
