The Yorkshire Terrier has a coat that continuously grows. The hair is glossy, fine and silky in texture. This coat sheds little to no hair which makes this dog a good pet for people with allergies. Daily brushing is needed to keep mats from forming in the coat. The hair on the head is usually pulled up in a topknot to keep it out of the eyes. Most pet owners prefer to have the hair on the head in a short trim, this keeps the hair out of the eyes until it grows back. Short all over or smoothie as I like to call it, is best for owners that do not have the time to brush daily. The teeth need regular cleaning using a small pet tooth brush and paste to keep them and the gums healthy.
