I'm sure this as probably been addressed here in the past but I have a question regarding cavalier coats!
I posted here a few months ago about how devastated I was that my little cav had to have his ears shaved to deal with a bout of avian fleas They have been slowly growing back, even though they haven't reached much length yet, but this process has brought up allot of questions to me about the rest of his coat.
We've been meeting more and more cavaliers lately and the majority of them have the standard soft, straight and long coats.
Now my little guy is not show quality, he has freckles and tick marks but he ALSO seems to have shorter hair than other cavaliers his age. His coat has a few waves and curls in it and kind of sticks out wildly instead of falling nicely at his side.
It DOES seem to be growing longer and sitting better the past month or so but I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this in their puppies and if it ever does become longer/less curly as they age.
I'm also wondering if there is any nice coat supplement that might help with growth and quality?
Thanks for your advice! Here are some pictures to show you what I'm talking about
