He looks awful and since it takes forever for his hair to grow, It will be that way for a while....Poor baby!! |
Genetics has more to do with the rate of hair growth than food. Excellent nutrition does play a part and Chicken Soup is by far more nutritional than Beneful. I have had Yorkies that were slow growers and others that were speedy.
