Grooming a Silky Terrier & Yorkshire Terrier

Grooming a Silky Terrier & Yorkshire Terrier

The Only Australian Toy Dog (The Silky Terrier)

The Silky & Yorkshire Terrier has very fine hair. It is similar to human hair and does not shed like other breeds. For this reason,

it is important that the Silky or Yorkshire Terrier be brushed and combed at least twice weekly to keep it tidy and free from snarls and mats. I suggest you invest in a good quality lanolin - based shampoo, a lanolin - or oil based conditioner, Mink oil, or Almond Oil, Or bay a bottle of Triocil from "PHARMACHEM" Medicated wash for dogs.This is best for your Silky Terrier or Yorkshire Terrier.

(A high foaming wash ensuring clean coats for prevention and treatment of skin disorder in dogs).

A natural bristle brush, a ball-tipped pin brush, scissors, nail clippers, hand clippers, metal comb and a fine - tooted metal comb. so that is all you need to help to control your dog's coat. Mink Oil or Almond Oil or a Hair Moisturiser Booster from "KIMDEC" ( Protects, Restores and Maintains Moisture Balance). Sprayed and brushed through between washing Hair, helps prevent damage to the coat.

The conditioner ("KIMDEC") or mink Oil helps prevent tangles and dry skin.

Bath the dog in tepid water,never cold. Pat and squeeze the excess water from the dog's coat with a towel, then blow dry

[ if the dog is left to dry and run free the coat will tangle and get slightly wavy].

After the coat is about half dray, use the pin brush to straighten the hair, working from the center part line down and around the legs.

Trimming;

A Silky if you like? which means that the ears should be free of long hair, the muzzle be clean of long hair from the eyes to the nose with an inverted V shape between the eyes.

The legs and feet from the foot to the first joint of the leg also should be free of long hair. So using scissors and hand clippers, clean hair from this area and between the toes. Trim the nails with nail clippers often; this will stop the foot from spreading and the dog from walking on the back of its pad. Brushing centre part; The centre part goes from forehead to the tail in a straight line. comb the coat down each side and down each leg. Using the pure-bristle brush, brush the hair down frequently, this will give a nice shine to it; the more you brush, the shinier the coat. And if you can not cope with the clipping yourself, we will be glad to help you, or we will show you how to clip your puppy.

TEETH CLEANING

Dental care is just as important for your puppy as it would be for you. These days it is quite easy to take care of your puppies/dogs teeth. First you can try the natural way by giving your dog a knuckle or brisket bone to chew on. Secondly a nice dried cow hoof will be quite enjoyable if after all that your puppies teeth don't seem clean then try some of the many tooth brushes and pastes available for dogs in flavor that dogs prefer such as beef, chicken or liver these are available from your pet store online or locally or from your vet You can also use baking soda in very small amounts.

Keeping nail short --->

Keeping nail short is very important for many reasons. Besides it is very uncomfortable for your dog if the nail’s are to long.

Sometimes it make it a little easier to cut the nail while you are bathing your dog so that the nails are nice and soft.

If you are not sure of yourself and do not know how to cut nail, file your dog’s nail a little bit every time, after combing and brushing using a normal nail file. This will help keep the nails down .

EAR CLEANING

A dog’s ears should be cleaned once a week this should be part of the grooming routine, with the use of a good ear cleanser which you can mix yourself 25 % Glycerin and 75% alcohol mixed in a small Eye-dropper bottle, available from your chemist or Pharmacy. When cleaning your dog’s ears drop about 10 drops into your dog’s ear then massage the bottom of the ears for about 30 seconds. After that, allow your puppy to shake it out from his ears. Gently wipe off the remaining solution and residual wax from the ear canal with a cotton ball. Take care not to poke anything into the puppy’s / dogs ear. Only use Q-tips to clean the very outside of the ears if necessary.

This cleaner can also be dropped into your dog’s ear just before you give him or her, a bath so that if a little bit of water gets into the ears the alcohol in the drops will dry the water up and the Glycerin will soothe it.
