I had a very experienced breeder/handler suggest using Biolage Ultra Hydrating conditioner as a "deep conditioning" treatment. After bathing with a normal shampoo, coat the pup in the Biolage and massage into coat.....then use your blow dryer to heat their coat slightly and then wrap in a warm towel and hold them for 15-20 minutes......then wash out as normal.

I have done this on several dogs and have seen excellent results......If the coat is really dry, try this twice a week.

Once I get a coat well conditioned (using the above for several weeks or more as needed), then I switch to keeping them in oil. (I prefer straight olive oil.)

I have also seen good coat growth by using Summerwinds Healthy Coat or Missing Link.
