Care Tips for Yorkshire Terriers

1

Regular Grooming: Yorkshire Terriers have fine, silky coats that require regular brushing to prevent tangles and mats. Aim to brush their coat daily and schedule professional grooming every 4-6 weeks to maintain their coat’s health and appearance.

2

Proper Nutrition: Feed your Yorkshire Terrier a balanced diet tailored to small breeds. High-quality dog food with the appropriate nutrients will support their energy needs and maintain a healthy weight. Be mindful of portion sizes to prevent obesity, which can strain their small frames.

3

Dental Care: Due to their small mouths, Yorkshire Terriers are prone to dental issues. Brush their teeth several times a week with dog-safe toothpaste and provide dental chews to help reduce plaque and tartar buildup.
