As far as the food, I actually switched him from science diet, when the itching started, so I don't think the royal food is the cause of the dry skin problem. Not sure what the specific allergy is because I am not able to afford to take him to a dermatologist, so I try to keep his skin moist with the coconut oil and he seems to do a little better. Is wellness a brand of food?
