| Help With Soft Coat!!! Abby has a very dry and thick soft/cotton coat. This is my first yorkie and I have absolutely no idea of what products to use. So in other words, I'm clueless I'm determined to grow and keep her coat long. It is growing very fast, which I love, but like I said it is very dry. What different products can I use? I have heard things about hot oil treatments, different oils, shampoos, conditioners, etc... which have worked the best for you? I have thought about using minksheen and hot oil treatments. And I've recently heard of feeding her different oils. What products and brands do you recommend??

| And one more thing.... I brush her twice a day and dont have any problems with matting. She's never had a matt in her life so I'm not worried about that.

| I had the same problem with Riley. His head and ears were very dry and he also has the cotton coat. I asked my vet about it and he said to get an oatmeal shampoo. He also said to occasionally use a conditioner on the hair to keep it from drying out. They both have worked very well for Riley. |

| I was told to help keep a dog's coat full of lusture and shine you should suppliment them with some sort of high quality oil, flax oil, cod liver oil, salmon oil etc each day. I give my current puppy this and even his puppy coat is getting a lovely shine. I will also contiue this with my new soon to be yorkie |

| I just use the Perfect Coat conditioner rinse from Petco. Lol. I normally put it on Riley and massage it in really well. Then I use a little puppy comb, while the conditioner is still on him, to brush through his coat and it helps get to the skin more. I don't use it on his face. The lady at Petco told me not to because its not tearless and hes still a baby. |
