My dog has sensitive, dry, smelly fur. What shampoo or remedy helps?

Question

Mayor has a very sensitive skin and smelly fur. Tried many shampoo to fit him. His first good shampoo is good enough but I want to change to organic. The organic one makes his skin flaky and fur dry so I stopped it. I wanted to get rid of the dry skin and the smelly fur. Are there any suggestions I can do a home remedy to these? Also, do you have a shampoo you can recommend either from US or somewhere for Mayor? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 7 months and 26 days old

If Mayor is itchy or has any hair loss you may want to see a veterinarian since fungal or bacterial skin infections can also cause smelly fur. You could check with your veterinarian to see if a fatty acid supplement might help with Mayor's dry skin. I would recommend trying HyLyt or Douxo's Seborrhea shampoo, or you might want to ask your veterinarian about a medicated shampoo.
