I've noticed this with my 2 smallest yorkies who had very thin fur. Now there is a huge difference. They don't have dry skin either.

I believe its all in the food you feed your pet.

Good to know, our Tractor Supply just started carrying the blue buffalo in small bits. I got a bag and have been mixing it in with her Royal Canin. She even eats the dark bits. I've been trying to find a good food locally. I don't like to have to order it and If it isn't at TS then it is at least 100 miles to the nearest Petsmart, Petco...etc

My husbands grandparents live in St. Albans and we are not far from there. My Fiona's hair is like that too. I try to tame it when I dry it but I have to keep brushing it to get it to calm down. Most people tell me that she will have many coat changes over the next few years and even some after that. I guess we will have to see if what we have now is what we will end up with!

Anyone know around how much this food cost (Buffalo Blue) and if it is sold in WV? I have heard good things about it and would like to send my dad after some on his next trip to Tractor Supply. I need to know how much to give him. I will need the largest bag they sell to feed all 4 dogs.

I pay in Canada $55 for the larger bag. It should be cheaper in the States. I use to use Royal Canine but have found much better success with Buffalo Blue Puppy formula. This is a holistic forumla. My female yorkie on the website had very thin fur and not much of it. I changed her food and now she has tons of fur & thicker.

I am really amazed at how my thin hair yorkies have super full coats now where as before they had 50% less hair than they do now. Not sure if its thicker because of winter however even if that's the case their fur is so much more healthy and never dry and I bath them once a week.

This sounds like what I am looking for. I will send my dad after some as soon as the weather inproves here. We are gettin up to 10" of snow currently. I would love to thicken her hair like it was before. I will send that much with him and he can bring me change if needed. Thanks!

I believe I paid around $16.99 for a 6 lb. bag. That was twice the food for $1 less than I paid for the Royal Canin. The small bites are in the bag with pink on the front.

Thanks for letting me know! I will try to get some of that and see if it works for Fiona. Have you been using it long?
