Itchy Australian Shepherd

by Lilly
(Virginia)

In warm, wet weather my Aussie gets very itchy. Would rubbing baking soda into her fur and then brushing it out help her?

Itchy skin
by: Angela

I have never heard of that, but since baking soda is fairly salty I don’t think it would be good for drying the coat. Not knowing your circumstances, but a regular deep brushing to remove dead hair, a thorough drying when the coat is wet, and maybe adding some fish oil to the dogs diet would help the skin and coat much more.
