| I've used Neem Oil Shampoo for itching....It's used for soothing itchy skin and it has an added bonus to kill fleas..... Only Natural Pet Flea Insect Repellent Shampoo Conditioner

| I suggest a good oatmeal based shampoo. ALthough Shelby & Seymour havn't had any skin issues.... KNOCK ON WOOD... we had a mini schnauzer that did, and the oatmeal shampoo worked wonderfully.

| Oatmeal shampoo is very helpful for dogs who have itchy problems. It's very soothing...

| Itchy Dog Too Johnny is crazy with the itchies too...allergy meds cause side-effects that just aren't good. Just started TropiClean shampoo and conditioner and Richard's Organic Skin Spray last week and he's still itching. Any other suggestions?

| Have you tried Buddy Wash & Rinse? Ingredients: Coconut shampoo base, aloe vera gel, essence of lavender, essence of mint, chamomile extract, sage extract, nettles extract, rosemary extract, wheat protein extract (natural deodorizing agent), tea tree oil, vitamin E, vitamin C. There is no "soap" to dry out skin but it definitely gets them clean! We love Buddy Wash and it smells so good. I have little bottles on my site if you want to try it before buying a big bottle.

| Muffin used to have the problem in the summer. I've used both oatmeal shampoos and the hydrocortisone shampoos on her and they did help. I haven't needed anything with Kacee.

| I suggest oatmeal shampoo! when we rescued maggie, she had dry, flaky skin and sores all over her body. The shampoo along with a better diet made her skin soft again! Hope his skin gets better! -katie
