It can still be a nutrition issue and or a systemic health issue.

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.
