Help for Dry Skin

[Stella]

One of my doodles suffers from seasonal alopecia, as a result through the fall and winter he loses hair in patches along his back, flanks, and over his hips. It grows back in the summer. In the areas where he loses the hair, his skin gets really dry. I give him EPO and Wild Salmon Oil supplements which usually help with his skin. This winter has been particularly dry and I have been away for two weeks so he hasn't had his oil supplements. As a result his skin in the bald areas is so dry and really flaky, it looks horrible. He doesn't appear to be particularly itchy, but I'm thinking it can't feel very nice. Now that I am back home I have restarted his extra oil, but wondered if there is anything topical I can use to moisturize his skin in the flaky areas. Thanks!!

I use Aquaphor ointment on my kids when they have gnarly eczema, and I understand that it's safe for dogs.
