Need advice for mangy pups................

I have four pups that were found in the woods with their dead mother, and they were nearly hairless due to mange. Their hair is growing back nicely, but their skin seems dry. Does anyone know what I can add to their diet to help their skin? They have completed two rounds of dip, and my vet will probably put them on Revolution, just to be extra sure they are rid of the mange, but there should be something I can add to their puppy kibble to help their dry skin.
