I don't recommend bathing her everyday as it will dry out her skin. Bathing her once a week with a shampoo, like Epi-soothe, may help. It could be that she has allergies, fleas, mites, and/or a skin infection so she may need prescription medications to help treat. You could have your vet take a look at her to determine the cause and then determine the best way to treat. She may need an antibiotic, anti-histamine, and/or a corticosteroid to help. You could also add Free Form Snip Tips to her diet to help keep her skin and coat healthy.
