9 Year Old Lab Losing Hair

My 9yr old yellow lab has recently begun to lose patches of hair. He started itching about a month ago but didn't show any other signs. It just looked like a little dry skin. He doesn't have fleas at all. Now we are starting to notice the missing hair, some on a hind leg, a little around his collar area and now a bit on his chest. He seems to have a real doggie odor that he didn't have before. Does anyone have a clue? I wanted to give him a soothing bath but I don't know what to use. His regular doggie shampoo is organic with but I don't think it will moisturize him. He is eating well and gets a homemade diet of natural or organic food, is well hydrated, gets exercised everyday. I wonder if he could have picked up something from the house we stayed in on vacation in the beginning of September.
