You could use a coat booster - a supplement in the food. Johnny be Good is the name of one. Dr. Maggies is another name. Probably online you could research and come up with a few more.
If you are willing for all the work involved you can wrap his coat, then put on a wrapping jacket, and only then put on whatever clothes you want him to wear. Try trimming a very wee bit on the ends of his coat.
Argan oil from Moroccp (sp) is a product I'm just investigating now - it is supposed to strengthen the hair shaft.
Scalp massage is excellent for promoting good circulation to the skin. You could do this at bath time, when you put in the conditioner 3-4 minutes while conditioner is working.
Just a couple of ideas.
