| Hi Hope. Welcome to Yorkie Talk. Stewie's hair was really dry at first, but I was using an Omega supplement that my breeder gave me. It can be found at pet supply stores. I bathe my puppy once every week to ten days. After his bath, I brush him while he's wet and use Citre Shine (its for people) I put a few drops on my hands and run them over his back. It makes his hair really shiny, but not greasy. Hope I helped.

| Thanks! She had a really bad hair condition when I got her, they poorly keep her up and she had pet lice very bad this is why i had to take her to the vet and they had to do 6 treatments very week to kill the lice and nits, so that really made her dry out fast loosing all of her shine and oils in the skin, but we had to get rid of them. thanks fo rhte info! |

| I forgot to mention that the Omega ( I think its called Omega 8 or something) is a yellow oily substance that goes on top of their food. It's great. I use Tropicare Shampoo with tea tree oil & oatmeal. and Loreal conditioner.
