Are there any products that can help with my dog's itching?

That depends on what's causing your dog's itching. Probably about 98% of the time, your dog's itching is due to allergies or some sort of parasite causing a problem—mange, fleas, ticks, et cetera.

The oatmeal-based shampoos are usually good for any itching issues as they moisturize the skin. If the itching continues despite using this shampoo, and over-the-counter remedies like Benadryl don't help, it might be time for a vet visit. Persistent itching usually indicates an underlying allergy or another issue that needs checking.
