I have found that adding in fish oil does wonders. I see a difference in the shinyness of Winston's coat about 3-5 days after I start and you can tell by the look of his hair when I forget (lol!) You might try a good heavy conditioner to help add moisture to the hair. For really dry hair I love Biogroom's Super Cream (BIO-GROOM Super Cream - 16 oz. Contains wheatgerm oil & vitamin E.). If you email them asking about samples they might be able to send you one. (Not sure if they offer samples of that product.) You should be able to hydrate the hair a little bit by letting any of your conditioners sit for 3-5 minutes before you rise out (and use cool water.) A spray leave in conditioner might help too, like Biogroom's Mink Oil Spray (BIO-GROOM Super Mink Oil Spray for dogs- 12 oz. pump). I'm not sure how her coat is, but depending on the texture you might have some luck distributing the natural oils on her coat with a boar bristle brush. (You can get one in the human hair section, or better yet a non-professional beauty supply store like sally's where they sell them in a variety of harness.) | |

| We use Biogroom Oatmeal Conditioner. Does WONDERS for Kimbo's dry skin. He used to be all flaky, but it stopped the very first time I used this conditioner. I cannot say enough good things about it. It's avaliable at PetSmart now. Not online, only in stores. approx. $12

| I think your Chloe and my Bella resemble. Bella is also 5 months old and I have no idea what to do with her crazy hair!

| I am having her groomed for the first time tomorrow ( if I don't chicken out). I'll let you know if they have any suggestions.
