Brushing your Silky Terrier's coat twice a week with a pin brush or soft bristle brush should keep it glowing. And using a long-toothed metal dog comb can help you contend with tangles. Besides that, you should trim your pup's nails and give baths every month or so.
Though it may be lap dog size, the Silky is a terrier. And it needs to exercise like one. Physical and mental stimulation is essential to your dog's overall wellbeing.
