We have Sam (Vizsla) on mostly grain/preservative free food and he hasn't had the 'itchies' since. I do supplement both of our dogs' food with fresh steamed veggies (sweet potatoes, green beans, zucchini, yellow squash, carrots, etc.) and sometimes a bit of whole grain rice. Sam's problem seemed to be more the preservatives and too much corn meal. I took us a while to figure it out.
Hopefully someone will have some more info on feeding a raw diet. Seems like what you're feeding Maddie is doing the trick, though!
ETA: just make sure what you feed is 100% nutritionally complete for a dog (like the vitamins and minerals) if you aren't feeding anything that is made commercially where that would already be added.
