Prince and his sister need to see the veterinarian. They need to be checked for external parasites likes fleas, ringworm (which humans can get) and skin mites. It's possible they are sharing these parasites together (or have a genetic predisposition in the case of the skin mites). Until you know the underlying cause, it's not likely you will be able to fix the problem. An omega 3 fatty acid for dogs can help improve skin health but it will not correct parasitic problems. The doctor can quickly figure out if mites or ringworm are the problem. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.
