It seems that the length of the hair may be a genetic issue. As already stated most Yokies do not shed like a normal dog. Their hair grows a lot like human hair and has to be cut in order to stop it from continuing to grow.
Do you know if she has a silky or cotton type of coat? I guess a cotton coat tends to be a bit thicker so if that is the case you might pull more hair out of a cotton coat when brushing. If you think it is a lot of hair coming out then you could try combing with a metal grooming comb first.
Omega 3 supplements are good for helping promote healthy skin and coat. Some people like Salmon oil while others seem to prefer cocoanut oil. Either one can help. Using an all natural shampoo and conditioner will help keep from drying out the skin and coat.
There have been a few questions from people with short haired Yorkies on this forum over the past several months. |
