Diet, I put mine on raw food diet and he stopped itching and acted like he got a new carburetor... Never stiff even after swimming all day, or running 6-7 miles.
I made my own food with 5lb 80:20 ground beef, a cup or two of olive oil, a can of steens, a can of whole oats, a half box of corn flakes, and a couple gelatin packs to help keep it all together. You can add other supplements for joints too. Hand mix all that and put it in sandwich bags and throw it in the fridge. One pack a day, either all at once or half twice a day.
His snacks were raw turkey necks, giblets, and whatever else was cheap in that section of the meat department. This supplemented minerals that he wouldn't get from the main diet - talk about a happy dog.
And no, it didn't make him want to eat my birds.
