My two chis have opposite problems from each other. I have Jack, who sheds A LOT, and then little Twiggy, my five year old Chi, who’s hair I would love to see grow a little. When I adopted her, the rescue worker told me that she has a spot on her back that gets rubbed a lot by sweaters that she wears. So, the hair is thinner in that area. I’ve asked the vet about it because it is so thin and she says it’s really nothing to worry about. Is there something I can use to help that hair grow in that one certain spot? Does anyone else have chis that are like this? Her hair around her tail and neck area is thick and healthy looking. That spot on her back is the only place that her hair is really thin.
