Puppy care - Yorkshire Terriers need constant grooming

Yorkshire Terriers need constant grooming. Make sure you are trimming your puppy's hair growth on his ears. At the age of six months his ears will be firmly set. If the hair has grown out, then the ears will not set up firmly. Keeping the hair around his rear end trimmed will help eliminate the build-up of feces.

Make sure to use a clean, warm, wet wash cloth to remove the gunk around his eyes, as this could promote unwanted bacterial growth and may rot the hair around his eyes. Make sure to feed your Yorkshire Terrier Puppy quality healthy puppy dog food. Good-quality food is high in price, but will help avoid costly veterinarian bills due to allergy problems in the future.

ADULT FEEDING

Once your Yorkshire terrier matures it is possible to start feeding it once a day, however you can continue to divide the meal in two offering half in the morning and half at night. If you are not sure about what to do you can always ask a veterinarian for recommendations on feeding your yorkie. It is still recommended that you supplement your Yorkshire terriers diet with nutrients and vitamins.

YONG FEEDING

Until the teething phase is over, which should occur at about 6 months of age, they will need to be fed three meals a day. However, between 6 months and 1 year two feedings should be sufficient. At this stage in a young Yorkshire terriers life it is very important that you feed them a healthy, well-balanced meal in order for good development and growth. Nutritional deficiencies that are developed in youth are practically impossible to make up for later on. It would be beneficial to supplement your yorkies diet with some vitamins.

PUPPY FEEDING

At a young age Yorkshire Terrier puppies will be energetic and will burn calories very easily. At first it is a good idea to feed them about four times a day. By doing this you are allowing them to get all the necessary nutrition they need. If you were to try and feed them all of it at once they may either burn it all before the end of the day and then go to sleep hungry, be sick because of the excess amount or leave part of the food because they can't finish it.

By feeding them in small amounts periodically every day they will get into a routine that will let them know that once they start getting hungry there will be food for them soon.
