Any shampoo at your local pet store as long as it has oatmeal in it!! If that doesn't do it get a medicated shampoo. Let the oatmeal shampoo sit on the dog for 20 minutes, then repeat. The most important thing is to rinse well, make sure you have left NO shampoo in honey's coat.

There is a good product that can be mixed in with your doggies food...It's (Linatone) it contains: linoleic acid, fatty acids and vitamins...It is for the skin & coat. You can buy it at Pet Smart. I'm sure other store's should carry it to.You also need special shampoo's for dry itchy skin. One of them is Oatmeal shampoo for dogs. Make sure you read all lables when purchasing. Your dog will thank you for it.

She probably has allergies. It could be due to something in her food or maybe has to do with her environment. You can try and help soothe the itch by using an oatmeal bath for her, but to cure the problem entirely I would definitely see your vet just to make sure its not a serious skin problem

Try this make a sink of warm water with baby wash in it (small amount) Take the wet rag wash your dog with it about 2 to 3 time. Then wash him in plan water(warm) And then take baby oil and rum it in. If you do this about every 2 days you will start to see a different. It work on my dog, now when we tell him we are going to wash his back he love it. Plus try giving your dog some rice with his wet food 1day week

Try switching to a food without corn and WITH a fatty meat (such as lamb and rice [IAMS sells it] or salmon and rice [like Purina One Sensitive Solutions]).
There could be other reasons, but this is one easy thing to try.

Take her to the vet if these other suggestions don't work. She may be allergic to something and sometimes only a vet can diagnose that.

It can be the food that you are feeding them because my dog did the same thing.
