Another good, natural coat and skin conditioner is colloidal oatmeal. (after shampoo) I use Aveeno, the kind sold for humans in the health and beauty section.
Mix one packet with at least two quarts water, sponge/pour onto dog and let sit for several minutes and then rinse.
It leaves the coat really soft and silky and helps remove surface allergens and restore moisture balance.
