| Dry Coat Timmy's coat fells dry, brittle and it seems like his hair is not thick. Is there something I can use to make is coat feel soft, shiny & full? I was reading and heard some YT'ers talk about Grizzly salmon oil, Missing link & petsilk serum. I am torn between the oil & missing link. I also wanted to know if there are sprays out there to make his coat shin. Any suggestions? |

| It use Missing Link and it just does WONDERS for Hobbs' skin and coat! I highly recommend it. Hobbs is such a picky eater, but he just loves the Missing Link. He licks it off his food sometimes! You also might want to try changing shampoos. Also, make sure you use a conditioner...it makes their hair soft and shiny! You may have to do trial and error with the shampoos until you find one you like. Good luck! |

| I learned about Missing Link here and I am am very happy with it. I had tried the salmon oil a while back but it made Gracie's breath smell and I stopped using it. The Missing Link is not affecting their breath. I also highly recommend a good conditioner. It really makes a big difference. Good luck! |

| I love petsilk hair products and hope that your babies will try them out . . they are wonderful, especially their serum. Tiger does not have the best coat and it fits your description to a T. But after using petsilk products for the first time, what a tremendous change it has been. No white flakes from day one (can't remember him not having one since I brough him home) and he smells sooo great these days. . . .their cologne's are wonderful as well. I got the rainforest collection package because they had that on sale and am glad I did . . . . |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | My Chanel had a somewhat Dry Coat - she has cottony hair - I use Sea Breeze by Plush Puppy and LOVE IT - her hair is shiny and lays flat and feels much more conditioned using it - I'm on my 2nd bottle of it now |

| Love that Sea Breeze.... Quote:
When her adult coat started growing in with her puppy...I remembered that Villette used this for Chanel... I squirt 3-4 squirts of Plush Puppy Sea Breeze oil in with my cream rinse spray that I mix for detangling and brushing of Sophie...I love the smell...and it works like a charm~

| Besides loving every PetSilk product I've tried, I also use a warm towel to hold my little ones in till they are almost dry, then I use the hair dryer. That way they don't have all that hot air drying their coats. My little ones coats are so soft and manageable now.

| We had the same problem with Twinkie when she was 4months old. Flakey skin and my breeder advised us to put in her water a tablespoon of olive oil (once a week). At first I was doubtful but it worked!
