I have an 8 month old black newfie who is well built so far at 85 lbs. Everything in the growth process has been normal but he suddenly has been chewing on his hind quarters as if he had fleas but doesn't. Our vet says its just dry skin. I have heard of using wheat germ oil. Anyone know of this? Anyone know how much you are to give? Please send help for my little itchy!

I wonder if it's a skin allergy. My newfy was allergic to a particular brand of dog food. My Saint Bernard wasn't but as soon as we switched food to another brand it went away. Several months later we switched back and the itching returned so we knew it was the food.
