| ![]() If you can't change your water so it doesn't causing them to itch, I don't know about there, but around here they have shops where you can go and bathe your dogs yourself. It's not as expensive as a groomer, but it's better than doing it at home.

| ![]() The vinegar and water rinse takes out the hard water, kills bacteria and is a natural source of bug repellent. My grandmother used it on my hair all the time while I was growing up and I never got lice like most of the kids did in school. I use the distilled white vinegar on my dogs once a month to help clean out any hard water or bacteria build up. |

| ![]() I am glad someone mentioned the water filter because that was my first thought. Hope the baking soda helps you guys in the meantime. Scratching can drive you nuts. Just when you thought you were settled in, huh V? Always something to mess things up when they are going so well. At least you can fix it. |

| ![]() Yes, it very well could be the water. Home Depot sells a cheaper one, for ~$20... Paragon Water Systems Shower Water Filter - P2201 at The Home Depot Have you changed your laundry detergant or fabric softener or your sheets? That could also be a cause too... |
