That’s seems odd to have both puppies itching and with allergies. Make sure they don’t have fleas or skin mites. A good product to use on the puppies is Nexgard. It is excellent against fleas and is active against mites as well off label. I recommend to make sure it’s not parasites. Eating stool is gross but many dogs do this. It’s not related to allergies or the itching. Close monitoring and training is best but they do make products to feed the pet that make the stool less palatable. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
