Hi Denise,

My peke for YEARS had the same problem. In fact, most of her hair fell out and you could see down to the skin. I tried EVERYTHING. Shampoos, additives, etc. What finally worked seemed to be a nutritional supplement called NUPRO (not NUTRO). In my area it is only available at a few kennels or at dog shows. It is a powder that I sprinkle over her food. She loves the taste and you should see her coat. Also, dealing w/ the fleas in our area has also helped. The ADVANTAGE program worked where the PROGRAM one did not.

I hope this helps. I know I sound like a commercial but it really made a difference in my peke's coat and skin.

If you have any problem finding it I think they have an 800 number. I'll try and find it for you.

Oh yes, the supplement is full of all kinds of vitamins, etc. The company can send to literature on it.

I'll look for the number tonight.

Until later,

Lisa
