| For those with yorkies with a silky coat This is my first yorkie with a silky coat. Summer, my other yorkie has a cotton coat. My question is does your silky coat not stay soft and pretty for long? Tatum coat isn't oily, just looks unkept even if I brush it everyday. Maybe theres a shampoo you can suggest. I could wash her twice a week, but once a week is plenty. Thanks for your help! Jacque, Summer and Tatum

| I wouldn't bathe more than once a week, too drying on the skin. Uni's coat is silky and it is getting better since we've switched her food to Wellness and shampoo to biogroom. She was itching on her shoulders a lot and breaking the hairs. The hair on her butt is nice and long. Hopefully we'll get a nice even long coat soon. But yes, her hair kinda clumps up together, but it's not oily, and if I brush it, it brushes out easily. Oh yea, we also got a new brush from mimimomo, and it's waaaaay better than others i've used. Barely ANY hair breaks off!

| Mimi has a fine silky coat, but if I don't brush her everyday, it looks messy. I do have to give her a bath once a week to keep her soft. I use MinkSheen & Tomlyn Nova Pearls Creme Rinse Conditioner. She'll be soft for maybe 3-4 days. **Thanks Priscilla!**

| Cowboy has a silky coat. He gets greasy easily. I have used a LOT of different products, CC included, but Pantene works great. Remember that the coat needs sprayed (misted) before brushing. Don't brush a dry coat. I'll attach a picture of my Cowboy.

| His coat is beautiful. What type of Pantene do you use? I have alot about it and also Minksheen. I think Minksheen is real expensive.

| Thank you. Right now it is the "moisture renewal" hydrating one. But I use on him whichever one I am using at the time.

| I'm still using Biogroom Puppy range although Sugar is 9 months old. It's "tearless" which is good, but the aroma won't last long, 3 days maximum It's time to switch I know! |

| Buddy's coat is silky and always feels like velvet. I keep his back shaved with longer hair on the legs, tail chest and head. When he had a longer coat he still was so very soft. I bathe him every other week per vet when I got him as a puppy. He always smells yummy, never has an order to him. I love touching him because he's so soft. We use Minksheen, PetSkilk, Harry Barker shea butter and BuddyWash. Of course the conditioner with each. I comb him about three times a week. He has never been oily. |

| Her coat isn't long but not real short either. I am debating on cutting it short because it doesn't stay pretty long.
