a cone….. My female hated her hair and when ever it got hot and her hair got long she would just chew it right off her body. We use to cone and use vitamin e oil on her spots don’t bother with the spray they dont work I have over 25 yrs of shihtzu experience.

Dont over bath or over brush…….

Here are some tactics you can try on your own as well:



  • Have a friend or groomer brush the dog regularly to release more oil into his coat.

  • Add essential fatty acids to his diet.

  • Go with high-quality, healthy dog food, not the cheap stuff.

  • Only bathe your dog when necessary, using a moisturizing dog shampoo, not human shampoo.

  • Try sprays or wipes that reduce dander on your dog, such as Dander Free.


Hope this link will help you.
