My black lab, Josey, has always been somewhat itchy– LOVES to scratch, but recently it has escalated to the point where she couldn’t even sleep at night, up scratching 6,7 or 8 times a night– which got me up, too. I felt horrible for her and tried stopping peanut butter, which she LIVES for. Didn’t work. Changed dog food several times and finally landed on a somewhat expensive “holistic” or natural food– Fromm’s Gold for adult dogs. I will testify in court– her scratching cut back probably 75%! She hardly gets up to scratch in the night now. I feel better for her. Her beautiful coat she used to have is somewhat brittle now, so I’m working on finding protein additions to her food (like cooked eggs and chicken) to help bring that shiny soft coat back. Give Fromm’s a try. It is SO worth the money (3x what I was paying for Pedigree)– and the peace of mind for me and comfort for Josey!

I love healthy Lab stories!
Our Vet likes to see our Labs ribs. He doesn’t want them to get fat!
I am nothing more than a Lab lover, and enthusiast, so my only advice would be to check with your Veterinarian.

I feed my 1.5 year-old “Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover’s Soul”, 4 cups per day. She is maintaining 59-60 lbs, and is very energetic. What worries me is that she seems to poop as much as she eats, and her ribs are visible through her skin. Is the food she is eating providing the right nutrition? Otherwise she is very healthy.
