Does the itching get worse different times of the year? We have a dog, also hypothyroid, who gets very itchy skin in winter. She's much better since we've started treating the hypothyroidism, but when she gets very itchy, we supplement with omega-3 oil sprinkled over her food. It's really made a big difference in the condition of her skin and coat.

Even if there is an underlying allergy in your dog's case, the omega-3s might help while you're trying to pinpoint the allergen.
