| After I bathe my boys i put a cap full of Nutragena Body oil Sesame seed formula in a 16 ounce bottle of water and put it on them. It helps keep the hair from breaking as well as add moisture to to their skin. |

For the skin...hmmm...direct oils on the skin can sort of "suffocate" it, causing even more problems. So I'm not sure about direct application. You may want to give internal fish oil/omegas instead...

| Bobby's skin has been a bit dry lately too.. what are some of the products anyone else uses? I've been wondering what I can put on him that won't irritate him even more.

| Call your vet and ask if he caries Derm Caps, if not then you can buy them at any pet supply place. |
