Poor pups. If they have been seen by a vet within the last 3-6 months, then their best option is to call that vet clinic and request either Bravecto or Nexgard flea/tick preventative. These preventatives can also treat for demodexx mites (not scabies) if given once every 1 (Nexgard) or 2 months (Bravecto). If you are unsure if your pets have demodexx versus scabies, then it is best to take them to a low cost clinic to at the very least get tested. Then a topical shampoo can be used to treat for any secondary bacterial infections and reduce the more numbers on the skin. The SynergyLabs Veterinary Formula Clinical Care Antiparasitic & Antiseborrheic Medicated Shampoo for Dogs can be tried. Best of luck!
