i use it on my cats mixed with 40 percent alcohol my cats do not fight it and not even scared of it they almost look forward to having it if they have an ouchie

it works fine even on kittens i would just keep it away from the eyes as far as licking it well i have not seen any problems with this they will clean that area but do not seem to be attracted to it right away its the liquid alcohol i would be worried about but its a small amount and it evaporates

No, take your dog to see a Vet, it is possible that the itching is caused by a burrowing mite (called Sarcoptic mange‎), this can sometimes also affect humans (as scabies) and needs to be treated professionally.

What can you use to stop your dog from itching from allergies?

If a dog is itching, it may be allergies, but always use a flea treatment (from your vets, to be sure if works) to rule out fleas first. Next you need to make sure there are no substances in the house the dog is allergic to - switch to hypoallergenic cleaners/washing powders and see if the itching improves. If this doesn't help, try a food trial - the best food from this is from your vets, but you can try lean chicken and rice, or a hypoallergenic dog food (as long as the dog isn't allergic to the ingredients in the food! Trial and error can take a while). If these don't work, you neecd to talk to your vet. Remember, if the dog has broken skin, hair loss or redness of the skin you should always take them to see the vet first. Even if you get rid of what the dog is allergic to, once the 'itch-scratch' cycle is in place (or the skin is infected), they will never get any better without veterinary intervention. Treatment for allergies is life-long and can be very expensive; make sure your dog is insured with a 'life-long' policy!
