Bath your dog at least once a week with a good lanolin shampoo,
followed by a conditioner.
It is fine to use the same shampoo/conditioner on puppy as you use on your own hair.

Towel dry then brush thoroughly until dry, in the sun on a good day, or use a hair-dryer.
NEVER leave your dog wet.
Finally, comb through with a fine steel comb.

Don’t forget a flea rinse in the final rinse when bathing
and mix according to instructions.
Flea rinses & powders are poisonous,
Keep them on a high shelf, out of reach of children.
Daily grooming – or every other day,
will keep your silky lovable and a joy to own.
Australian Silky Terriers do not shed coat or suffer from “doggie odour”.

TRIMMING:
Keep ears trimmed of long hair,
and pluck any hair out of the inside of the ears.
You can use eyebrow tweezers for this, however,
puppy may not like it,
but it is important to guard against ear-mites.

NAILS:
Trim a little off his nails every week and
also check his dewclaws have not grown back.

Dewclaw removal is a simple procedure
carried out when puppies are only 3-5 days of age,
and DOES NOT cause any pain when carried out correctly.
