| Dry, brittle, dull Hi all! It's been a while since I've needed some yorkie support. My Roarry is running out to have a not so handsome coat. His head is soft (the hair is pretty fine though) but the trest of him is not soft or glossy at all. Very dull and tangly. I give him fish oil in his food. His food it Natures Variety Instinkt (grain free) I sprinkle Stella and Chewies freez dried raw in top and use that food for treats. I have started spraing coconut oil in and combing it threw about an hour before bath. Earth Bath, Hypo-Allergenic shampoo. Bio-Groom Silk Conditioning Creme Rinse. Any thoughts? Anyone ever try Cindra shampoo? |

| Have you had a vet check with blood work recently? If not I would try that before trying topical remedies. Yorkies can be fine haired and not so soft. It could be a medical reason like a thyroid issue causing the problem of a thin, dull coat. You are feeding quality food so your dog should have a good coat.
