Best Answer: Head and shoulders (or similar dandruff control shampoos) are fine to use on a dog that has that itchy, flakey skin thing going on. Slather a thick coat of the stuff on and lather the dog up. If you happen to get any into their eyes, promptly rinse the area with lots of water. read more
