Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I've been using Sea Breeze Oil by Plush Puppy for Chanel....I alternate between CC Ice on Ice and the Sea Breeze... It's WATER Based...and easy to wash out and it's doing a great job on her hair...you only need a TINY BIT and her coat shines....She has a cottony coat but man - it is straighter and softer with this oil..... Sea Breeze is an ANTI Breakage Oil.....This is Chanel after I first started using it...her hair is even longer now and it just looks so much neater when I use it. |

| She looks pretty cute in your pictures Gina. Have you talked to your vet about her diet? Maybe a suppliment of vitamins might help. I know it helps my hair in this dry Rocky Mts. climate. Kip has such heavy hair that I can't get it to stay down out of her eyes but it does get long...I just use human conditioners.

If her skin is dry aswell I think maybe diet as well might need a little tweeking. Like adding EFA's ( essential fatty acids) like Omega oils-fish oils to diet. Or even some flax seed oil or olive oil in her diet. That might help.

I have read many of your reviews, thanks! My question is how do you really know what type of hair your dog has?? I am not sure... I think it is soft and silky but your babe's picture looks like her hair is silky too??? I am confused...are there any clues to tell what type of hair they have?? Thanks!
