Poor little guy. He's been receiving frequent baths since this first one. When we picked him up we found out that he had been fed Beneful puppy food.
(Sidenote: I'm sure there are all sorts of opinions out there about this brand of food. Whatever works for you and your dog is great. Personally, I had bad experiences with Molly McGee when she was eating this brand of dog food. It completely altered her personality, making her angry and agressive. Once she was off it, she went right back to normal. This has happened twice. The first time I chocked it up to a living situation that was out of our control. The second time, I knew it was the food. I'll never give it to another animal in my care.)
Anyways... whether it was due to the food or a reaction to something else, Snoopy had really scaly, scabby, dry, flaky skin. We immediately switched him to a puppy chow that did not contain corn as the main ingredient and after a little internet research discovered that frequent bathing would help clear up any other issue that may have caused the skin condition. I'm happy to report that this must have been the right course of action because he is on the mend! (Otherwise it would have been off to the vet for him)
