The Silky Terrier has a glossy, fine, straight coat that sheds little to no hair. However, a lot of grooming is needed to keep the coat lustrous and free of mats and tangles. Every day, this dog should be combed and brushed for about 15 minutes. Regular bathing is also necessary, though it's important that this dog be thoroughly warmed and dried afterwards. The coat should be trimmed occasionally, with the hair on the legs and the knees kept short, and the hair over the eyes can be held up in a topknot.
