Guest Meirowitz Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) Ok, no more Rogaine, transplants or comb-overs for me or my hounds! What really works to grow real hair on those nekkid butts?

Guest BiancasMom Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I would love to know the answer to this too! I recently bought "Docs Blend Hair of the Dog" because several people on here suggested it. I hope it works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbotaina Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Some greyhounds grow hair back on their butts, others don't. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. HOTD might work - even if it doesn't help re-grow hair, it's a very good supplement. Quote Meredith with Heyokha (HUS Me Teddy) and Crow (Mike Milbury).

Do you have a name or a link? This is serious! Ron Popeil is not an acceptable alternative! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest knitkass Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Callay's came back after a couple of years of brushing with a curry comb, even over the bare butt. I think it stimulated the follicles? No idea, she may have grown them back regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BatesieGreys Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) I Daisy's nekkid butt! It's so adorable, and her nekkid tummy, and her nekkid neck, and her nekkid thighs (inside and a little on the outside). She's so CUTE! And if she grew fur I wouldn't have a matched pair anymore. Daisy is bald on the bottom and Dbf is bald on top! (Edited because I can't spell my poor pup's name.)

Guest greybookends Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Personally I think the bald butts are cute and patable. It doesn't bother me that Monty and Sheana are members of the Shiney Hiney Club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Meirowitz Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Well, maybe it's because I'm a guy, but "cute" and "bald" are not synonomous! I need some help here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Greyt_dog_lover Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I'm a guy, with two black beauties, they both have their bald patches, no biggie to me. My boy has a bunch of fuzz growing in, the only thing I give is fish oil pills daily from Trader Joes. You may try that, and if it doesnt help, the worst it will do is give your pup a great healthy shiny coat. Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BatesieGreys Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Bald may not be synonymous with cute, but it certainly can be sexy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Meirowitz Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 "Bald may not be synonymous with cute, but it certainly can be sexy!" That's a relief! I just learned something! Chad, I have my hounds on a raw food diet and give them plenty of salmon oil, flax seed oil, raw eggs, and vitamin supplements, not to mention the raw beef, chicken, lamb, duck, and turkey. They get a ton of omegas. However, I just started with raw. I agree that it might help in the "bald" department. R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambuca Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 My Dad claims he's bald from too many U-turns under the sheets. I kind of like the bald butts. I can always tell my guy apart from the other dogs at the park when they're running. I just look for the reflected light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Meirowitz Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 "My Dad claims he's bald from too many U-turns under the sheets." Well, this thread is certainly taking on some interesting dimensions ( ), but other than Ron Popeil's elixir ( ), I haven't heard any suggestions for a product that really works. Let's put our thinking caps on! Maybe we'll stumble on something truly earthshaking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dillymom Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I give both of my girl's fish oil every day. Lola's butt hair grew back but Lucy has a shiney hiney and I love it...but then again my fiance is bald too so I guess I find bald attractive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greyscot Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I've had 2 greys with naked butts and this brought the hair back on both of them. Their coats improved no end so I can't praise this stuff enough. Downside is cost- it does not look that expensive but you use a lot of it. Thing is once the hair returns if you put them on fish oil capsules there is no relapse. This is a UK link but I'm sure if you Google the product you'll find it worldwide. By the way I used it more for skin problems so their growing butt hair was a bonus - I don't mind naked butts http://www.vetuk.co.uk/index.php?main_page...products_id=343 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinM Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Nothing. Some regrow hair- some never do. My Teddy is one that never did and my Chloe- once on soloxine for her hypothroidism- did- somewhat.

Guest Meirowitz Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) Thanks, Greyscot. The product you recommend, Viacutan Plus, appears to be primarily marketed in the UK and is high in essential fatty acids. It appears to be effective for a variety of skin conditions and, to the extent that it may promote hair growth, that seems to be a bonus. I wonder if this product offers anything more than, say, raw salmon or flax seed oil? Are we really talking about products that are rich in Omega 3, 6 and 9 for the promotion of hair growth? Anyone? Robin, did you ever try a product specifically for the promotion of hair growth, or were you using certain medicine for other purposes that had a side effect of promoting hair growth?

Guest sja5032 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 There is a product for horses that is supposed to make hair grow back (intended for rubbed off spots & scars). I have never used it on a dog nor heard of it used on a dog, but if anyone has any idea what it is called it might be worth a shot. It is a topical gel and it worked well on the horses I saw it used on I just have no idea what the name is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rschultz Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 lexie had a big bald spot on her back and the dermatological vet said to use barlians fish oil. It is a liquid. I did and the bald spot was gone in a month. I gave a tsp at each meal. You have to get it at an organic store. It is like 10 bucks a bottle. it is epecially for animals. I don't know if it will work for butts but it sure grew hair back in her bald spot. gl Quote Lexie is gone but not forgotten.💜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
