Zignature vs Taste of the Wild

I had my girl on Zignauture Venison and she stopped chewing her paws after being on TOTW wild boar and paw chewing  (I got her from a rescue and they were feeding her crap also) but she was shedding like crazy on the zignature I switched her to TOTW pacific stream after several weeks she is now scooting, scratching, paw licking, getting up and running and stopping and looking at her rear.. but her coat looks awesome.. im at a loss I think this may be from the food, she was scooting on TOTW wild boar too and not on the zignature but on zignature shedding by the handful.. I am at a loss.. any suggestions?  I dont see any fleas, she is on flea preventative, I dont ever see any worms either.. when I got her and she was scooting the vet said her anal glands were empty..she did just have hip surgery and just started using her legs again but I dont think that would make her itch and chew her paws.. arg.. help...

We switched our itchy girl to Arcana trout...

it has no potatoes which can be a problem for some. We have used Zignature Whitefish in the past. My boys are on Fromm heartland but Jesse was very itchy on that.

Your dog may have a hard time with venison...

Mine did. She did very well on Salmon and sweet potato varieties, usually I bought Earthborne Holisitc, but I am also feeding Taste of the Wild and my gang are doing very well on that as well. 

You can help some of the shedding by supplementing a good Salmon Oil supplement. I bought the WalMart brnad, Spring Valley I think, and got Norwegian Wild Salmon or something similar. I havent used it for a while since my girl got very sick and then passed away, but I think it was called that. One pill daily in breakfast kept her coat beautiful and less shedding.
