If your dog is itchy, it means there is a problem somewhere. Itchiness is a symptom of something else, usually inflammation caused by too many environmental toxins including routinely prescribed medications such as antibiotics, which wipe out both good and bad bacteria in the gut, drugs such as NSAIDs, steroids, antihistamines, heartworm, flea and tick meds, vaccines, stress, candida, yeast overgrowth and just the aging process itself. Pure breed dogs are particularly prone to the negative side effects of environmental toxins because of their bloodlines and genetic predisposition.
Homeopathy is a natural solutions for itchiness that don't involve steroids, Apoquel or antibiotics of any kind. It was created by Samuel Hahnemann, a German Physician over 200 years ago and based on principals:

If your dog is itchy, we recommend the following homeopathic protocol to help your dog heal naturally. All remedies can be found at your local Whole Foods or on Amazon. To prepare the remedies, you simply take 4 or 5 of the pellets and let them dissolve in 1/2 cup of filtered water. Do not touch the remedies directly. Instead, pour them into the cap of the bottle, and then pour into the filtered water. Stir for 30 seconds. After the pellets dissolve, give your dog a 2mL dose via syringe and watch for improvement. If you do see improvement, stop giving because they don't need anymore.
