I have two cavs -- a 15 month old tri-color and a 7 month old blenheim. They have both been neutered. I'm not really one who is believes that neutering them changed the texture of their coats, although I am wondering if there is a cause for the change or if it is normal.
The tri-color has more of a wooly, cottony coat on top (back area/bottom by tail). His fur on his ears and his "skirt" is very silky and soft. I've also noticed that on his back his fur is a slightly different shade than the rest of his fur -- the black has a tint of burgundy in it. So it has an almost reddish hue. He has a lot of black in him, more than white.
The blenheim coat is a little coarse -- when I give her a bath, her fur almost looks like it has been crimped! Ha. Are a lot of cavs fur like this after a bath?
Is this pretty normal? Could a change of diet help their fur to be more silky, shiny, and soft? Right now they are on California Natural and I supplement their diet with grizzly salmon oil. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks.
