I would disagree with you...my guys had spots that were thinner than others and changing diet did change their coats all over. Not only would a diet change of raw improve coats but would improve all aspects of canine health...it is simply a fact. I understand you are not in agreement with feeding raw but the proof is in and it just can no longer be disputed...may I suggest some very good reading: Ol’ Shep’s Well-being: A Natural Perspectiveby Euan Fingal( Waggin' Tails in The Dog Park, Deanna

Whats left is genetics, that is most likely, and not much you can do about that. I would be VERY CAUTIOUS about making any major changes in their diet or other care aspects, since I know you don't want to risk the health or well-being of the dogs for some (unlikely promises of) thicker hair here or there! --- In [email protected], Christy Sylvest <cann...@...> wrote: > > > Hi I have a couple of Chis that have very thin fur in some places.
