Grooming Dogs With Silky Coats Those who opt to keep their dogs' hair long and show ring ready can expect to have them groomed at least every four to six weeks. Silky dogs also need to be brushed regularly between grooms, especially those with longer hair.


How do you groom a smooth coated dog?

The basic tool you'll need for grooming a smooth coat is a bristle brush. To start brushing, follow the direction of the hair growth. Work your way from the head back toward the tail, using just enough pressure to stimulate the skin. Be especially careful when brushing your smooth-coated dog's belly and undersides.

How often should a dog be fully groomed?

A short cut can last a dog two to three months, but if your groomer leaves more than an inch of fur on your dog at a cut, you should get your dog groomed every four to six weeks to prevent matting.

Can you clip a smooth coated dog?

The coat stays short all year round needing no cutting or clipping. Smooth coats work to keep your dog warm by offering a dense layer of hairs growing close together.
