Question
Both of my dogs are raw fed, occassionally EVO, we use no chemicals, they have not had any vaccinations in years, other than the ones that they got before we got them.    BUT........they go nuts when the lawn grass comes out.  Itching, scratching, chewing, every year it is that same problem, and I have tried all of the tricks in my book and am wondering it there is something out there that would help them.  They are on Preprobiotics and Salmon Oil.
I should add, that I have taken everything out of the house that would hold dirt, pollen, etc, like carpet, their beds are washed weekly, and they have no trouble whatsoever other than when grass is involved.  Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
