Thanks, Marie / Ask the Pet Nurse

Hi Nancy!  I deal with this problem often.  Many of our clients have ear troubles and other allergy symptoms.  
I looked up the Great Life dog food, Go with the  Wild Salmon.  ( Any would be fine but I find many do like the Salmon flavor)
Make sure you do get the grain-free only.

You may want to try a stronger probiotic than the Proviable.  I have had great luck with PEARLs -
SEE here for NuVET Plus supplement and Pearls - You should try both of them.... They Work wonders on dogs like your Bernese.

Try your girl on 2 NuVET wafers per day - long term

Also, PEARLS - probiotic - 1 per day for 120 days.  ( short term

Keep me posted
