Yorkshire Terriers - Keeping Your Yorkie Well Groomed.

miniature yorkie. How quick should you start grooming your Yorkshire terrier? At least two times a week, because Yorkies have such a particular coat that correct grooming is needed for their broad healthy appearance. Beginning with your Yorkies coat it's really important to start a regular schedule of brushing it two times a week. The bath water should warm and ensure you have the shampoo, conditioner and towel, toothbrush and toothpaste and scissors prepared before you put your terrier in the tub. Wash your Yorkies body carefully from top to bottom which should help stop making tangles while ensuring you do not get any of the suds in their eyes. Next , be absolutely sure to test around their eyes for any increase of mucus. Whether your yorkie has a long or short coat, a regular grooming schedule is an absolute must. That fine hair of theirs will become tangled and disheveled in almost no time. If daily combing and brushing your yorkie isn't your mug of tea, consider a shorter cut. She is pretty much a tomboy and a shorter cut fits her character too. A yorkie with a short coat needs upkeep. Grooming supplies for your yorkie should ideally include : dog shampoo and conditioner, hairdryer ( with a low setting ), brush ( metal with teeth spaced broader on one side and narrower on the other ), brush ( with metal teeth with rounded ends ), and a de-matter. I towel dry her taking care not to rub her energetically with the towel as this can cause tangles. Take a look at your Yorkies nails and if they want trimming just be sure you do not trim them too short.
