Well, I have tried various shampoos.....she seems to be having no problems from that...but her hair just does not grow very much. I think it breaks off easily? I am using the Grizzly salmon oil in her food and she is taking vitamins. What else is good for growing a coat? She has beautiful, easy to care for hair, it just won't grow! Max has about 2 or 3 haircuts to her 1....and that is just to do a basic grooming around the eyes, ears, etc. I have not had any length cut off at all. My grandmother suggested vitamin e capsules but I am not sure what would be safe dosage for her and I think that is already in the grizzly oil too?
I would appreciate any help if any of you have had luck with certain products. There are so many things out there that say they help but who knows what really works?? Thanks

Katie and my Bobbi must be related

He too, has an easy to manage coat. Lately, his skin has been very flaky and itchy. I have been feeding him NO corn kibble (Life's Abundance) and using petsilk shampoo. Yesterday, I switched him to Canidae all life stages and bought a tea tree oil shampoo with oatmeal. He got his bath yesterday and it seems to have helped. He has been on missing link as the only supplement. When I was at the vet's last time, my vet said she did not think it was allergies. She recommended I get a humidifier.............which I am going to go get today.

His coat grows ever-so-slowly as well. He tumbles and rolls on the carpet all day playing with his sister and brother (poodle and cat).........so it too breaks off. I really swear by the missing link though.......

He is almost 6 months and this is him last night:
