    At least two of my dogs have a shinny coat. My Chihuahua mix who was a gift to my son has somehow never looked quite as shinny as my other dogs who seem to maintain that shine with almost no effort. I have read the coat says a lot about the health of the dog but they are all being fed and cared for in the same way. Does your dog have a shiny coat and is it possible that some just won't ever be as shinny as others? I am still going to pay more attention to the suggestions below.

    This is a very interesting site!:)
    My Homer has a very shiny coat, but he loves rolling in the grass and digging in our garden, so he often looks dirty, especially since he doesn't let anyone bathe him:eek:

    My dog never had a shiny coat, the texture of her hair has never allowed it. She actually looks messy, but we give he a shower often enough. I once had a dog that had a very shiny coat, it was a brown dachshund. We rescued her from a vet clinic, the owners never came back for her, so we took her with us. She hadn't showered in a while, so her coat was so shiny :eek:
