My dog is itchy from allergies. Can I use Gold Bond powder on her?

Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | spayed | 3 years and 11 months old | 8 lbs

Dove is very itchy. She is prescribed itching meds and they help but sometimes she still itches. I read that some dog owners whose dogs have allergies as well put gold bond powder on their dogs and that helped. Is it safe to put gold bond itching powder on my dogs? Thank you.

This is acceptable but it is not recommend to put all over the dog. It is better used in between toes, under the tails and under the arms. This works well mainly is creases of skin to help keep the dry.
