You will want to find something that has oatmeal and possibly even hydrocortisone in it. There are many brands. If you don't mind buying online duoxo calming is one of my favorite shampoos for itchy skin.

Yes you can use pet formulated fish oils to help with dry skin in general. Also a high quality dog food such as Royal Canin skin support, Eukanuba, or Evo can also help. I would also recommend a conditioner from your local vet that you can spray him with in between baths. The shampoo you have it the best thing to do and once you do it twice weekly for 3 consecutive weeks or so, you won’t have to do it so often. I hope this helps. Best wishes and take care.

Cocker Spaniels do suffer their share of skin conditions and one of the most suffered are seborrhea and dermatitis, which can cause a strange odor and result skin that is itchy, oily, flaky skin You should have your veterinarian examine your dog to find the cause of his skin condition so the correct treatment can be initiated. Apart from consulting with your vet, there is something you can do to help. Try a medicated dog shampoo using one that contains anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-microbial ingredients. Don’t expect the condition to go away overnight. Follow the instructions and advice of your veterinarian as he can diagnose the cause and treat specifically for whatever condition your dog suffers from.

Hello, I am sorry to hear about Scooby! If his skin is just dry with no lesions or hairloss or itching, you could consider adding a fatty acid supplement to his diet. Some are available over the counter for dogs, such as Welactin for dogs http://www.nutramaxlabs.com/dog/dog-skin-coat-health/welactin . You could also use a creme rinse and conditioner to moisturize his skin, such as epi-soothe https://us.virbac.com/product/dermatology/epi-soothe-cream-rinse
