Good shampoo and conditioner and rinse rinse rinse. I think feeding a good food makes a difference too

I use good shampoo & conditioner and rinse thouroughly, and she's eating Royal Canin Yorkshire Terrier Puppy food

I've read that fish oil is good? anyone ever tried that?

Fish oil is good and some swear by it. If you do give it though you also need to give vitamin A because the fish oil will deplete it

Yeah, the first thing is to make sure you are rinsing well enough. I know that sounds logical, but I learned a long time ago that when you think you have finished rinsing, you probably need to rinse for a few more minutes.

As chachi mentioned - fish oil is given by some. I give Mandie coconut oil. Just a tad with her food and I brush her teeth with it. She tends to have dry hair and a dry tummy so I rub coconut oil on her tummy when I'm brushing her teeth. A good quality conditioner and conditioning spray can help, also.
