Hi and thank you for your question on PetCoach! Omega 3 & 6 Fatty Acids can help quite a bit with hair and skin health. B vitamins (B12, B5, B9) can also help with skin and coat health. Vitamin E can also help. I would acquire these supplements from your veterinarian. Here's a good supplement on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Theracoat-Skin-and-Coat-Supplement/dp/B005FYOCQ4 I hope this helps!
