Chiclet suffers terribly from dry, itchy skin in wintertime.  There are many 
possible causes, one being a sensitivity to something in a dog's food, 
especially wheat or corn.  You might want to try switching your dog to a dog 
food that doesn't contain either.  I can't change Chiclet's food because 
she's on a prescription diet.

You might also try adding Omega-3 fatty acids to your chi's diet to combat 
dry skin.  I use DermCaps liquid; a few drops once a day is plenty for a 
little chi.  Many pet stores carry skin supplements.  I get my DermCaps from 
www.entirelypets.com.  It makes a huge difference to Chiclet.
