You may want to try a daily omega-3 fatty acid supplement such as Welactin - this often helps with dry, flaky skin in dogs. If this doesn't help, or if he has any itching or hair loss along with the dandruff, I would recommend having him examined by a vet to see if he may have an underlying skin condition causing the flakiness.
