Hello. You can definitely start Leo on some fish oil, perhaps around 500 mg fish oil capsule twice a day. If his skin is very dry, you can also start a topical called Dermascennt Essential 6 Spot-on which is available at Chewy & on Amazon. This should help. But if he ontinues to be uncomfortable, you may need additional help & medications from your veterinarian. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
