I am a new member. Our basenji is "Bird"(Sukari-Jasiri Charlie Barker). He is 12 yrs old and doing well for his age. He used to get itchy skin, especially on his tail, where he would bite it until it was raw. We switched to AvoDerm lamb and rice. The itching stopped. We changed back to Nutro and it came back. We're free feeding AvoDerm now and his itching has stopped.
