Default Dog with dry skin

My dog seems to have itchy dry skin. Is there any kind of shampoo we can use on her to make her skin not so dry?

They do make dog shampoo with conditioner in it. There are several different brands and they pretty much all work the same. I would let the shampoo sit on the dogs coat for about two minutes and then rinse it off. When you apply the shampoo really work it down to their skin so that conditioner can get on the skin.

Thanks beeswax! We got her some new shampoo with the conditioner and it seems to be helping a lot. Now if we can just get her to quit scratching her ears!

My dog had dry skin and we found out she had low thyroid hormone. We have her on thyroid replacement now and she's getting much better.
