I feel bad for her and Im sad because we have been tryign so hard to grow her hair out and now her beard area and the hair that comes off the lower side of her face is really long but the top is too short and sparce to put in clips so what is up there just hangs over her eyes. She went to the groomer today and the groomer was absolutely stunned at how dry her coat was, its like it was fried, but I dont know how this can happen  I use emu oil/spray when I brush her and I feed her nutro ultra with missing link. How can I keep her hair from getting so dry? Im getting some sort of special spray that my groomer is ordering for me but Im wondering what else I might should try, including other possible food supplements maybe? Change of food? (which changing food isnt easy at my house becuase ALL the girls insist on eating the same food) |
Hi Shana! I am having a similar problem with Sadie's coat. She doesn't have the soft silky coat that Lillie has. Sadie's coat almost feels coarse and it isn't thick. I have noticed her coat almost looks like it is getting thinner..Today I gave them their baths and noticed alot of shorter hair on her...I don't know why it's breaking either! I read a post on here where someone had problems with their dogs coat and started feeding Canidae...I had switched the girls over to Canidae about 2 months ago...I am hoping it will make a difference in Sadies coat..If you find something that works...Please share the info.
Good Luck Shana!
