| in my opinion you should not use shampoo for people on your dog. maybe a vet visit would be a good idea to possibly see why he is itching so much |

| I would add fish oil or another omega 3 &6 supplement to his diet. You can also buy dog shampoo for dry skin. My dogs skin gets dry and itchy in the winter and this is what i do. hope this helps |

| Riley Had dry skin and his vet recommended to give him something orally. I give him Nordic Naturals Omega-3 Pet. I give him one pill in his food in the mornings.....I snip the tip off and drip it on it. No dry skin ever sense....... They also have it in liquid formula. |

| Like the posters above, I supplement Tatiana's diet with fish oil. I also add coconut oil, too. Not only does it relieve dry skin, the oils make for a pretty coat. |
