It sounds like Bebo may have some allergies or possibly fleas. Be sure that she is on appropriate flea medication for her age and size and point out her itchiness at her next puppy vaccination visit. Golden retrievers can be prone to multiple types of allergies and the sooner it gets under control the better. Other possibilities in a pod be doing played mange and ringworm so be sure to have the vet check it out. I hope she gets some relief soon thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach
