i give virgin coconut oil (half teaspoon a day) for his coat, so i decided to use it on his hair.. it's way too greasy to use everyday ( i just tipped the bottle, with my palm in the opening, so i just got a super tiny amount, and it was still WAY too oily for my taste), but for tonight i left it on him..since that's how it is used for human hair (leave it on then wash the next day) for best results..

tomorrow morning i will be bathing him, hoping for fab results...

but as he is only a puppy, his hair ends looks a bit dry ( to my thinking) while i am growing his coat..is there something i can put on the ends of his hair only? i've seen these hair vitamins (jojoba oil, vit A, etc etc) for humans in our local drugstore (been wanting to try it out for ME actually), would that help the hair tips so it doesn't look dry and fly awayish? the breeder told me i should be oiling his coat already, since it is attaining SOME length, would this suffice?

if VCO just didnt have a too greasy effect, i would use the stuff, but it's hard to play with a puppy who is oily, and he is just not for cuddling with the oil on him..

oh!! a drawback in giving VCO, since he recognizes the scent (as it is included in his meals), he has been licking his coat one would think i was starving him..

I just bought some Emu oil and was told that Almond oil works well too. I think they said put a "capfull" in 2 cups warm water and pour it over after shampooing, conditioning and rinsing. Do this 3 shampoo days and on the 4th use a clairying shampoo.

VO 5 Hot Oil treatment can be used but obviously needs to be rinsed out.

I've been researching this too. Try doing a search in the grooming thread for dry hair.

Good Luck!
