The Basics

You’d think I wouldn’t need to mention the following obvious things, however the truth is not that simple!

Some people don’t know even the bare basics about caring for a Yorkie.

A few things I must mention are:

Don’t leave your Yorkie outside

Yorkies are inside dogs, that being said they can survive outside it is just that it’s unnecessary. Their coat is filled with hair that is loose which means Yorkies get cold easily.

Don’t give your Yorkie human food

An occasional treat is fine, but Yorkies have notoriously delicate digestive systems and therefore you would do much better to avoid giving your Yorkie hard to digest foods.

Some examples are potato chips, bones, oily greasy spicy food and anything else that is hard to digest.
