Dry skin
Hi.....my 8 year old cross breed (staff X collie) has dry skin, especially on her back legs. She has been diagnosed with a hypothyroid and is on leventa..... But can any one recommend a good moisturising shampoo? or is there any benefit In me rubbing a bit of coconut oil onto her back joints where it is particularly dry?Tia

I would avoid shampooing unless it is absolutely necessary . Shampoo can add to the drying of the skin caused by your dogs condition.
Washing in plain water can remove excess dirt from the coat.
