Yorkshire Terriers - Keeping Your Yorkie Well Groomed.

How shortly should you start grooming your Yorkshire terrier? At least 2 times a week, because Yorkies have such a particular coat that correct grooming is necessary for their overall healthy appearance. Brushing each day if your Yorkie has a heavy coat with a soft brush keeps your Yorkies hair from a tangled mess, otherwise I am sure you'll be hugging with your tiny companion once or more a day and you can start brushing him then. Showering your Yorkie is imperative to maintaining healthy flowing coat. Wash your Yorkies body carefully from top to bottom that will help stop making tangles while making certain you do not get any of the suds in their eyes. Towel dry delicately by patting their coat and not rubbing because rubbing will certainly cause tangling. Next, be certain to test around their eyes for any build up of mucus. Yorkies with long coats should be groomed daily. She deserves to be washed each week or 2 and brushed and brushed at that point.

Grooming supplies for your yorkie should include : dog shampoo and conditioner, hair dryer ( with a low setting ), brush ( metal with teeth spaced wider on one side and narrower on the other ), brush ( with metal teeth with rounded ends ), and a de-matter.

Employ a dog shampoo that is acceptable for your yorkies skin type. I find it best to take my yorkie into a confined space like the bog after her bath. I towel dry her taking care not to rub her energetically with the towel as this will cause tangles. Your Yorkie is susceptible to tarter buildup so brushing their teeth will keep your Yorkie from significant dental infections and illness.
