First, look at the food it is eating. About 90% of all allergies are caused by a dogs diet. If the food has more than one major source of protien (chicken, turkey, lamb,) changing their food may help.
If the food check out ok, try a soothing Aveeno Oatmeal bath for a quick fix. A really great allergy shampoo I have found is Earthbaths Tea tree oil and Aloe Vera. It is wonderful for allergy bound dogs.
You can use "Skin so Soft" (I use it on my horse) but it will probably make it worse.

Skin so soft can be used as an ant repellent. If you wipe it on any surface, ants won't go there. As for your dog, first find out what may be causing the allergies. Have you taken the dog to the Vet too. Some dogs are allergic to certain ingredients in dog food like cornmeal. Some allergies can come from flea bites. Also, when you bath your dog try using oatmeal shampoo. So try looking into changing the dog's diet and a flea control like Advantage. Basically, try to find what is the cause of the reaction.

Maybe your dog is allergic to its food. Try feeding it a chicken and rice based dog food with no by-products. Skin so soft is good for mosquitos for humans and flies for horses, but not sure how it works on dogs.

Try Benadryl. If your dog is small/medium size then cut the tablet in half. If the dog is large then give a whole one. Also oatmeal shampoo sometimes helps.

under no circumstances use water to eliminate dirt from pine furnishings. we've stumbled on a mild textile with lemon oil on it does an excellant interest. detect a mild textile, sprinkle lemon oil on it and diust. whilst finished positioned the textile in a zipper lock bag and shop it for destiny dusting. If the textile feels dry, upload a touch greater lemon oil. Your furnishings will look stable and final longer.
