Brushing

Brush your Yorkie daily to prevent tangles and mats.

Use a soft pin brush or a detangling comb for gentle grooming.

Always brush in sections, starting from the bottom and working your way up.

🌸 Tip: A quick daily brush also helps distribute natural oils for that shiny Yorkie glow!

​​​​

 Bathing

Bathe your Yorkie every 2–3 weeks using a mild dog shampoo.

Rinse thoroughly to avoid residue that can irritate their skin.

Always follow with a light conditioner or coat spray for silky softness.

💧 Dry with a towel and use a low-heat blow dryer while brushing to prevent tangles.

Recommendations:

CHI for dogs, Cowboy Magic, and Chris Christiensen's White on White are my favorites brands.

Haircuts

Puppy Cut: Short, even trim for easy maintenance and a cute, cuddly look.

Show Cut: Long, flowing coat for the traditional Yorkie style.

Modified Cut: Trimmed body with longer facial hair for balance and flair.

✂️ Visit a professional groomer every 6–8 weeks to keep their coat in perfect shape.

Face, Eyes, and Ears

Wipe their eyes daily with a soft, damp cloth to prevent tear stains.

Keep the hair around the eyes trimmed so it doesn’t block their vision.

Clean ears weekly with a vet-approved ear cleaner and check for redness or odor.

🐾 Tie long head hair into a topknot or clip it back with a bow to keep it tidy.

​​

Paws and Nails

Trim nails every 2–3 weeks — Yorkies’ tiny paws make long nails uncomfortable.

Check paw pads for tangles or debris, especially after walks.

Apply a paw balm if their pads feel dry or rough.

🌼 Clean paws regularly to prevent matting between the toes.

​

Dental Care

Brush teeth 3–4 times a week using a dog-safe toothpaste.

Provide dental chews or toys to help reduce plaque.

💖 Yorkies are prone to dental issues — good oral care keeps them happy and healthy.

​

Extra Care Tips

Use a leave-in coat spray between baths to keep fur soft and fresh.

Protect their coat from sun damage by keeping outdoor playtime balanced.

Be gentle — Yorkies have delicate skin and fine hair that can break easily.

​

Grooming Reminder

💕 Regular grooming is not just about looks — it’s bonding time. Your Yorkie will love the gentle attention, and you’ll keep their coat, skin, and overall health in top shape.
