My dog gets very itchy skin and it can be very dry. I bought some oatmeal soap and I am hoping this will sooth his itchy skin. Have you ever tried giving your dog an oatmeal bath?

We did several years ago and it worked very well. The tub was a mess but the dog quit itching. We had a hair lined tub until I could scrub it.

I've never heard of giving a dog an oatmeal bath...ppl yes, especially kids with chicken pox. I've never taken one but I hear that they are very soothing and make your skin feel much better. [b]**AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~[/b]

Hi MM my dog gets itchy dry skin, and teatree shampoo seems to do the trick for her, oatmeal may be ok for her but really you need a soft shampoo, oatmeal I don't think is really the right one..hopefully someone else will be able to help you more...LoLo
