Yorkies require daily grooming, this is a great way to bond with your dog and as your yorkie gets used to it he will thoroughly

enjoy getting groomed, and it will keep his coat and condition in SUPERIOR shape.

Here you will find some tips on grooming, I hope they will be helpful.

   1. Before bathing brush your dog with a pin brush and get any mats and tangles off.

   2.Clip the nails with a pair of safety type nail cutters. Be sure not to clip too close to cut the quick. If that happens don't panic, but be sure to use "quick stop" as it is antiseptic and will stop the bleeding. I personally like the powder kind instead of the gels.

   3.Yorkie ears should be trimmed. Trim with a finishing clipper the very tip of your yorkie's ear, about 1/3 down from the tip. Look at the sample picture below:

   3.1. Also before bathing you need to clean your dog's ears. Any hair inside the ears should be removed. After that use a cotton ball and q-tips to clean inside the ears. Note:  Make sure you are careful cleaning inside of the ears so not to hurt your dog. You may use any over the counter ears cleaning solution or use rubbing alcohol.

   NOTE: If you have a pet yorkie it is good to trim the anal area of your pet, it keeps it cleaner. Clip it with a small clipper, such as "wahl peanut "clipper or a finishing clipper. Also for males you can trim under the belly right in front of their  "stuff", and keep that area powdered . Baby powder with cornstarch is good.

   4.Bathe your dog in  warm water , using a premium shampoo. I like petsilk. Another good option is baby shampoo, and with the baby shampoo you will be able to clean around the face without irritating your dog's eyes. Be sure not to let water inside your pet's ears. Rinse well and repeat. After the shampoo is all washed  out of the coat apply a conditioner and rinse well.

   5.Towel dry the excess water. Always blow dry your yorkie. I use a professional blow dryer as it has setting that make the temperature not too hot. If you use a regular dryer make sure it has a cooler setting so you don't burn your dog. You should gently  brush your dog's hair as it dries.

   6. I like to then put their hair on a top knot with a beautiful bow.

 7. To keep your yorkie in a longer coat you can use a "freezease" kind of product, it will look shinny and protect the coat.

   8. These are basic grooming things that I do to keep my yorkies clean, happy, healthy and  SUPERIOR!! There is more to do if you are going to show your yorkie. With time I will update this page with  more tips!!
