Hello. The best way to improve hair coat quality is to first make sure no parasites are present (fleas, mites, etc). Then getting him on a good quality dog food. Thirdly, grooming him and brushing him will help improve hair quality. Fish oils can also improve hair quality, however a good diet will be better than this! Good luck!
