Same, here. I dealt with itching/scratching/skin infections for 5 years with my male Newf and within 1 month of switching to raw, they have never resurfaced.My bichon had the same issue's. The only thing that helped her is when I went raw. She never chewed herself again. The shots did nothing for her and another newf I had years ago. The zyrtec does wonders for my Merlin and Shannon.
