Omega 6 & 3 amounts for dogs

Forgive me if I'm posting a question that's been asked and answered a million times. Because the search engine is not working properly, I can't seem to locate any related posts.

What are the "proper" amounts of Omega 3 and Omega 6 that are beneficial to dogs? We currently supplement our GSD with a liquid fish oil to help with her itchiness. It helps, but doesn't completely eliminate it. And of course, there are other benefits of the omegas.

She's currently on Avoderm Lamb/Rice, but I'm researching other foods to switch her to. Hopefully something that will eliminate the need for the supplemental oil. But am wondering what is the truly beneficial amount that's not too much or too little?

Thanks,

~Michelle
