It is easy to blame the diet for problems like these (ear infections, etc). I don't know your dogs history and won't pretend to be an expert.

My Great Dane Diesel has been a "problem child" as well. He seems to go through stages where he is really itchy. Since adding "Wild Salmon Oil" to his diet he is showing some improvement but still has issues sometimes.

Last year he had a piece of fluff from the grass in his ear that ended up in an ear infection, before that it was a yeast infection of some sort... Since starting on raw he has gotten allot better, but still has some issues. You have to remember that ...

A raw diet provides an excellent platform upon which great health for
your dog may be achieved. However, it is not the panacea
for all problems. It is not a miracle cure.

Kibble sometimes serves to "hide" other health issues, there may be some genetic issue (as with my dog).

I guess I probably haven�t helped much, but the point is to keep your eyes open! It is very important to find a vet that can keep an open mind and look past the fact that your dog eats raw.
