It really depends on what is causing the itchy patches. Have your dog checked by a vet first to make sure it isn't something serious. If these are hotspots (caused by the dog constantly licking or chewing at a spot) an easy remedy is to bathe the area with goldenseal (an herbal antiseptic). Open a goldenseal capsule and dissolve the contents in hot water - it won't all dissolve. Wait for the mixture to cool and apply to hot spots with a gauze pad or cotton ball.
Another remedy is to open a capsule of Vitamin E and put on the hotspot. If the itchiness is from Allergies, you can use stinging nettles - one capsule for every 50 lbs of body weight 2 or 3 times a day.
Make sure you check with your vet before using any of these remedies.
