Take your dog to the vet to confirm the cause of the itchies... chances are it's something simple, but it might be something more weird. As our dog got older, he got itchier and itchier. He'd get a prescription, be OK, and get itchy again as soon as it ran out. Turns out, he's having a reaction to the oil his skin produces. In other words, my dog is literally allergic to himself. We gave up on the pills (most of them were steroid-based, which is dangerous when taken on a long term basis) and just make sure to bather him often to keep the amount of oil down. He's really pretty happy, all things considered.
