Does anyone feed their schnauzer grain free or not? I want to switch my schnauzer to diet grain food for her itching skin.

We have fed raw food (grain free) to our dogs for 15 years now and would definitely recommend for overall good health.

Have you had a diagnosis regarding the cause of the itchy skin? Many dogs suffer seasonal itching especially in the autumn due to spores etc. in the environment. Environmental toxins - in cleaning products, home fabrics, and also some pharmaceuticals can also cause skin issues. However a good minimally processed diet should certainly help :)

We use a variety of ready prepared raw meals from U.K. companies. These have just raw minced meats (chicken; beef; duck; turkey, lamb ) including bone and offal or with added oils and vegetables. As we have many dogs I find it easier to buy the meals ready prepared. They are delivered frozen and just need to be defrosted to feed our dogs. Do you have any raw food for dogs companies where you live?

If you don’t have any companies where you could order or buy prepared raw food for dogs, you can make the meals yourself. There are links here with more information:
