| I switched Bella to Earthbath Oatmeal and Aloe Shampoo for Dry skin. I know there are beetter ones out there, but without having to order and wait this is the best I have access to. But it's really a good shampoo too. It's helping her a lot.

| I don't think any shampoo will take the allergy away. Best thing to do is find out what's causing the allergy and then go from there. If you feed kibble, then you will never know what the allergy is.

| Stella has allergy problems and the vet prescribed Relief shampoo for her, you will need to leave it on for around 10 min. I accomplish this by shampooing, wrapping in a towel so she doesn't get cold. This shampoo can be purchased on the web just look for Relief shampoo. I do not use it on her head. I also suggest seeing a vet, these problems don't normally go away and the scratching can lead to infections |

| BioGroom Tar & Medicated shampoo. Leave on for about ten min before rinsing. Follow it w/ BioGroom Oatmeal Conditioner. Mix it about 8-1 part water. Easy to find online, very inexpensive and very effective |

| Try Cloud Star Buddy Wash. It is all natural with coconut and lavender, very gentle and has made my dog's coat so nice and fluffy. |

| First you need to find out what is causing the allergy. Then, if she is still itching, I recommend two things: Avoderm and Petzlife Cranberry Fields. One of my yorkies has dry, itchy allergy skin and I've tried a WHOLE lot of shampoos. These are by far the best. A good shampoo in combination with getting to the root of his allergy has cleared up his skin. |

Donating YT Addict | I bought Itch Stop from Pet Supplies, Dog Supplies, Cat Supplies, Pet Meds & Pet Products and it seemed to work really good on Tyke. I bought the shampoo and conditioner and he doesn't hardly scratch at all now. hope this helps.
