Yorkies can be easily distinguished by their long, beautiful coat. Keeping your Yorkie well-groomed is important for its coat to look that way. In this article, I’ll discuss a few things an owner can do to keep their Yorkie healthy and graceful.
One of the most important tools a Yorkie owner needs is a soft comb. You should comb all of Yorkies’ fur once a day to keep their hair clump-free and detangled. Be sure to use a soft comb, because stiff and harsh ones can damage your Yorkie’s fur. It’s a good idea to rub it on your skin first to see if it hurts or not.
Many Yorkies fear the word “toilet”, but it is a necessary part of keeping a Yorkie healthy and clean. You should bathe your Yorkie for a week or two with a small dog shampoo and conditioner found in pet stores. Just use some lukewarm water with the shampoo and conditioner, and thoroughly cleanse your body of Yorkies, and then pat them dry with a towel. Be careful not to get water or shampoo in Yorkie’s eyes.
Yorkies often develop a buildup of mucus around the eyes. You must check them every day. If you see something, just use a damp cloth and wipe it very gently.
Scale buildup is a common problem that many homeowners don’t address. There are many different teeth cleaning products that you can find at your local pet store, but I would recommend that you ask your veterinarian which one they would recommend for your particular situation.
Like us humans, Yorkies will need to have their nails trimmed regularly. It is important not to cut them too short, as this will cause bleeding.
You will still need to take your Yorkie frequently to get groomed professionally. They will trim the hair properly, check for ear mites, and clean your Yorkie well.
Grooming your Yorkie should be a fun process for both the owner and the Yorkie. A good idea is to treat your Yorkie to a treat every time you need to spend time grooming it. Before you know it, your Yorkie will start to love getting it fixed!
