(I buy the flax oil gel caps because they are allergic to fish) I started with the food first, but no matter what I took out of what they had been eating, they still itched. In the meantime I was giving them an oatmeal based shampooing every third day and they still itched. I then switched to the itch relief head and shoulders shampoo and itch relief head and shoulders conditioner. Boy was that helpful. I started adding flax oil to their diet and also bought nice marbled roast for a little extra fat. I saved the broth I cooked the roast in and used it to cook their rice and barley together. (I always cook their roasts in the crock pot or pressure cooker). They cleared up so quickly I couldn't believe it. A little fat and oil sure does wonders.
I havent done the home cooking thing, but I am hoping that salmon oil added to her diet will help improve things
