We have labs and they are known for skin problems. We went thru a terrible period with our big guy...Tank...and after trying different food, changed his bowls to stainless steal and numerous other things, our vet recommended to bath him once a week for a month with Head and Shoulders. He also told us to go to Walmart and get their brand to save money. Well, that was 5 yrs ago and I haven't given him antibiotics nor prednisone for itching. I lather him with the Head and Shoulders and let it sit on his coat for about 5 minutes then rinse. His coat is very shiny and we are often asked what we use to bathe them (he has sister). It really is amazing. We only bathe once a week if we notice him starting to scratch...then back off after about 3 weeks and back to their normal schedule. BTW, he was very allergic to plastic bowls...even had a hairless ring around his nose where he touched it while he ate.
Give it a try...
