Flaxseed oil is high in Omega-3 fatty acids.  Omega-3s are also in fish
oil, salmon, herring, and tuna.  They do indeed help with the fur coat and
reduce itchiness of the skin.  There is a recent article in the Lancet
(British medical journal) that reports Omega-3s may even prevent certain
cancers in people.  If you want an oil supplement then flaxseed oil or
fish oil is a good option.  Most vet clinics carry fish oil supplements
such as 3V skin caps liquid, Derm Caps liquid, etc.
 
Just food for thought,
