If they have seasonal itching, my vet recommends bathing to wash away the irritants. Putting baby oil in a warm bath may be all it takes to do this. If it’s a chronic problem, try including omega 3 fish oil in your daily diet. My lab benefits from both of these. Good luck

My lab has a history of hot spots. Severe enough to require medical intervention. I put fish oil on him. Reduce them from 4 or 5 per year, to 2 small in the last 2 and a half years. If you really must wash your dog’s hair, buy one with oatmeal. Otherwise, regular brushing is usually enough.
