FEEDING What's a good feeding regiment for Yorkies? I start the puppies off with a good quality Puppy food(dry), with warm water, and give moist meals. I add a mixture of the same mixed with a strained Turkey Baby Food 4x a day for the "tinies". I always make sure the food is warm. I keep dry food down all day and all night for all my puppies and dogs. BATHING How often should I bathe my Yorkie? Yorkies have a wash and wear coat. They are a single coated dog and washing them every 7-10 days and using a good cream rinse, and spraying them with a detangler as you blow them dry is all you'll have to do, other than keeping the hair trimmed on their feet, ears and around the rectum, and keeping their nails short. Also, keep check on their ears for dirt particles and moisture. Never "air dry" your puppy, as they can chill and lose body temperature. This can be very dangerous. Whenever you start grooming your dog, be sure the dog has good footing, both in the grooming area and in the sink.....a bath mat will do. It's also very comforting to have warm towels from the dryer to wrap your wet dog in after bathing. You should never brush a dry coat. Always use a bristle brush and a good moisturizer spray in between baths. If the coat is badly matted, then finger separate and spray a good detangler on the coat before you bathe the dog. |
