Default whats the best shampoo to use for a dog that won't stop itching?

i use frontline and i haven't noticed any fleas so is there a good brand that will help with possible dry or allergy prone skin? i've been to the vet several times and they are no help cause they don't know why she's itching.

Many dogs have an allergy to corn, it causes them to itch. Check you dogs for food for it and try something that doesn't contain corn.

Have you had her allergy tested? She may be allergic to something in the environment or even in her food.

If she's not taking anything for the itching, you can give her 1mg or Bendryl per pound of her body weight. This would cure the problem, but it may help sooth her a bit.

Oatmeal or coal-tar shampoo is good for dry skin - but don't overdo it! Two baths a month is PLENTY - and if she's rolling in stuff, try hosing her off. My parents give their dog fish oil pills to help with her dry skin too.

Good luck!

If the oatmeal or coal tar shampoos don't work, try tea tree oil shampoo. Also the fish oil pills may help. Many times dogs will be alergic to carpeting-dust mites. Also, give the dog pure water (spring). Good luck!
