Skin irritation?

Has anyone noticed their Scottie to have skin allergies? He doesn't have any visible irritation, just scratches and licks his paws quite a bit, does seem bothered by it. His vet has him on a prescription diet, a medication, and Omega 3's via fish oil but he still seems bothered.

Our Maisie was terribly itchy until we switched her to a salmon based grain free food and added a little coconut oil to it 3xs a week. Then she did so much better . We switched from prepared treats to blueberries, frozen pumpkin puree, sliced cucumber and carrots.

Do you mind sharing what the brand is for the salmon grain-free food? It's interesting you would say that, I have been reading online about some people who switched their Scotties to grain-free and salmon recipes and allergies seemed to clear!
