Generally, Yorkshire Terriers have a long coat, which means you may need to regularly groom your dog to maintain its beautiful coat and skin – brushing a few times a week and bathing as needed should be sufficient. Nevertheless, it is essential that you have the right tools on hand to complete the job. Here is a list of several recommended tools for grooming and supplies below:
- Wire pin brush
- Metal comb
- Undercoat rake
- Small, sharp scissors
- Dog-friendly shampoo
- Nail clippers
- A dog-friendly ear cleaning solution
- Dog toothbrush
- Dog-friendly toothpaste
As long as you have these supplies on hand you should be able to do most of your Yorkshire Terrier’s grooming yourself at home. Still, you might want to have your Yorkshire Terrier professionally groomed twice a year for good measure and so that you could know the recommended tools for grooming.
