Exercise Your Yorkie Puppy
Yorkies need regular exercise to ensure continuing good health. Take your Yorkshire Terrier puppy for walks, run around in the yard. Try anything to get him up and moving.
Fleas and Ticks Off Your Yorkshire Terrier
Parasites such as fleas and ticks can cause serious diseases. Keep your Yorkie puppy free from parasites by using the method recommended by your veterinarian. Frontline is a great product that we recommend.
Feed a Good Diet
Work with your veterinarian or breeder to find the food that is best for your Yorkie's age, size and activity level. Keep the diet consistent. Always provide plenty of fresh, clean water. If you decide to change the puppy's food, please make sure that you do it slowly. Drastical changes can make your Yorkie puppy ill.
Provide Chew Toys
Yorkie Puppies never outgrow the need to chew. Protect your possessions by providing a variety of chew toys.
- Protect Your Yorkshire Terrier From Poisons
Make sure that your home and yard are free from poisonous substances, such as antifreeze, which tastes good but can cause serious illness or even death. Keep your veterinarian's number handy in case of accidental ingestion. Watch for frogs at night because if your puppy licks one they are very poisonous.
Be Alert to Changing Needs
As your Yorkie ages, his needs will change. Your puppy may require a different diet, need more sleep, and be less active. Your Yorkie may not be as "fun" as he once was, but he is the same dog you loved as a puppy. You should do everything you can to pamper him in his final years. Yorkies can life an approximate 15 years.
Take Pictures of Your Yorkie- Create An Album
Create a Puppy Photo Album. Take lots of pictures just like if you had a newborn. Be sure to take a picture at least every 2 months to see the growth of your Yorkie. It's fun and will give you lots of memories. More importantly, a current photo will be invaluable in the event that your Yorkie is lost
