Combing

Combing your yorkie is an important part of your dog’s grooming and should be done once a week after bathing and applying a suitable oil to the hair. Long-haired yorkies require several brushes because the hair on the back is different from that of the dog’s eyes and ears. Combing prevents the hair from forming tangles and twisting, which is very painful for the dog.

Haircut

A yorkie ‘s haircut is also important, especially after the dog is 10 months old, when it sheds its so-called puppy fluff. Without adjusting the length of the hair, the fluff can be troublesome to groom. Haircuts should be done once a month and the hair on the ears should be removed at 1/3 of the height of the ear counting from the tip to prevent infections. The same is true of the hair in the eye area, where unremoved hair can lead to eye disease.

Hair removal around the ears and in the intimate areas should be started in the first few weeks of the dog’s life, so that it becomes easier for the dog to get used to the treatments. A yorkie’s haircut in spring should be more radical due to the increased air temperature and the risk of infections and fleas and ticks nesting in the dog’s coat. However, due to the yorkie’s sensitive skin, it is better to entrust the task to professionals at a pet salon.

Hairstyles for Yorkies

Haircuts for the yorkie are grooming procedures that involve clipping or tying up the dog’s coat. It is important to choose the right hairstyle and coat length for your dog’s temperament – energetic dogs should have their hair cut short. It’s also important to choose the right hair accessories, such as hair ties or elastics, that won’t pull and tear your dog’s hair. Yorkies do not usually protest against such treatments, but it is important to remember that their hair should not be too richly decorated. Taking care of your yorkie’s coat is important not only for aesthetic reasons, but also for hygiene reasons.

Important rules

There are a few important rules to keep in mind during any yorkie haircut. Firstly, it is important to cut the hair near the ears at 1/3 of the height of the ear, so that it is shaped like a spike. This will prevent infections and diseases that can occur if the hair is not removed from these areas.

Another important element is the removal of hair from the genital area and from under the tail, as hygiene requires this. It is advisable to tie the ponytail with fabric or silicone elastics, as a simple rubber band can damage and pull out the hair.

The last important rule is that dry hair should not be combed. It is better to apply a suitable conditioner to it first, so that it will be easier to comb and the dog will tolerate the treatment better. By following these simple rules, shearing your yorkie will be easier and safer for your dog.
