My Sapphire started scratching her chin several months ago. I switched all five of my babies to an all natural food (Life's Abundance) about 3 months or so ago. I expected to see a dramatic improvement, but she still scratches - maybe not as much as before, but still.

Also, she has lost some hair due to this scratching, and it is taking forever to grow back. The hair isn't "gone", it just looks very short, like there has been breakage in a couple of places.

There are no rugs in my house - all hardwood floors, so need for carpet cleaners, or anything like that. The strange thing is, I have 5 yorkies, and only 1 seems to be having this problem. Any ideas??
Is there a chance this Yorkie is allergic to chicken? That's one of the protein sources in Life's Abundance. Maybe you could consider switching to something like Venison, Fish, Duck, Lamb. See if this helps with the itching. I know there are other environmental factors and some are more sensitive to certain things than others.
What food were they on before L.A.?

Maybe someone can help with the environmental allergies as I don't know much about that. Good luck!
