Yes, Bettyanne mentioned Coat Handlers when I first joined YT and had written it down to purchase when I use what I have now which is Pet Silk. Also good too.

Just for info sake. My Schnauzer has a very sensitive coat. Schnauzers do, it's a trait in them to get pimple like stuff down their back. Then the groomer "pops" the pimples when groomed. Anyway, their coat dries out a lot like a Yorkies does. I have been told that a teaspoon (this is for the size of a 20 pound dog though) of extra virgin olive oil in their kibble once a day helps a lot. We had started this over a year ago and noticed a big change in Annabelle's coat.

Anyway, I think if ever needed I would try maybe a 1/4 of a teaspoon of the olive oil in Schatzie's kibble (she is 5 pounds). The taste is great for Annabelle so I am sure Schatzie might love it too.

But back to the bathing. I have to bath Schatzie once a week. However I think she needs it at least twice a week. She always looks stringy and greasy even though she is brushed out daily. Even using the puppy wipes it doesnt help. She looks clean after a bath for max 3 days then oh my gosh, she is gross looking. Doesn't smell bad, just a stringy mess.
