Little bit is SO adorable! I do not think dry skin and anxiety are connected. I think from the photos Little Bit's coat looks great. I cannot see the skin. Dry skin can be from allergies, dry air, too much bathing, poor nutrition, etc.....So, if you are noticing dry skin I would suggest you start her on a fish oil supplement like this one: http://www.allivet.com/p-5328-alaskan-salmon-oil-16-oz.aspx Give it a couple weeks and see if it helps. If not, I suggest you take Little Bit to see your vet. Hope this helps! Best wishes.
