Our 2 Newfs are itching but not the Lab...checked for fleas - none. They are on garlic treatment but maybe they picked some up somewhere but no evidence of them. No hotspots seen. No major changes in their diet. All three eat the same thing. We got a new leash and only the two Newfs have worn it. Haven't ever heard of leash allergy. It's possible that 2 out of 3 walked through something that has irritated their skins - they are off to the Soggy Doggie (self dog wash) on Thursday. Unfortunately they are closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
The only thing left I can think of is their diet...they all eat the same prey model raw food which is a mixture of proteins daily and through out the week. That leaves treats and supplements. No new treats. We rotate supplements and recently we added raw goats milk and fresh organic wheat grass. They all get a couple of table spoons of the goat's milk on their food and about the same amount of snipped grass. Goat's milk is supposed to help with allergies and they have never had issues with dairy - they love cheese, yogurt and cottage cheese. We ran out of the grass so we are eliminating that. We stopped the goat's milk this morning. They eat grass in the neighborhood all the time.
If it's dietary - how long before it will cycle out of their system?
