You could add in an omega 3 fatty acid supplement to help with this. It helps to moisturizer the skin from the inside out essentially. Also you can bathe him in an oatmeal based shampoo and a crime rinse afterwards. Below is a link to a good omega 3 supplement that I like. https://www.chewy.com/vetoquinol-care-triglyceride-omega/dp/57308?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=hg&utm_content=Vetoquinol&utm_term=&gclid=CP7d9Z629dQCFQgQaQodDMgNpA&gclsrc=aw.ds I hope this helps!
