If you are unable to financially swing feeding a commercial or homemade raw diet all the time, pugmomsandy’s suggestion of feeding raw & canned or just canned would be good to consider too. I think you will see healthier skin and have less odor by improving the quality of his canned food as well.
Having his thyroid checked is a great suggestion; hair loss is one of the symptoms of a thyroid condition.
I have looked at raw diets before and bookmarked a few sites. Here’s a link to a list of premixes:
