Smooth / Silky Coat Grooming
Fine, single-layer coat that lies flat against the body. Low-maintenance bathing and tidy. These coats are characterized by lies flat, minimal volume and require a low-shedding maintenance routine. At Kay's Groom Room in Seagoville, TX, we groom smooth / silky coat dogs using soft-pin brush or bristle brush, low-velocity dryer, fine-tooth comb for detail, plus straight-dry with medium airflow for the right finish. A typical appointment runs 45–90 minutes and we recommend booking every 4–8 weeks to keep the coat healthy and mat-free. Common breeds with this coat type include Yorkshire Terrier, Maltese, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Shih Tzu (silky variant). Whether you're bringing in a puppy for their first groom or a long-time client for a maintenance visit, every appointment is one-on-one — no other dogs, no rushing, no cages.
