Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. If she is drooling a lot, this could indicate a dental problem. In many cases of dental disease, you will see an increase in drooling / salivation. The itchiness could be a separate condition and due to allergies, skin mites, fleas, etc. I would recommend having her scheduled for a general checkup with a veterinarian so that the mouth can be evaluated further and suggestions made for the itchiness. In the meantime, I would recommend a flea product such as Bravecto, Nexgard or Frontline and try this to see if it helps. Some other products I would recommend are listed below and can be found online quite easily. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further. 1. Douxo PS Calm shampoo and bathe twice weekly 2.
