For most pet owners, grooming a Yorkie can be quite challenging. Here you will find a few tips on how to groom your Yorkie, especially those things that you should do yourself at home: 1) Bathing is a must! Frequency of bathing depends on the type of shampoo you use on your Yorkie and, of course, on how dirty he is. I use a natural shampoo on our fur babies (our own shampoo - visit http://www.yorkieshampoo.com), and I bathe them once a week. Natural (organic) shampoos do not strip the natural oils out of the skin and hair, and bathing more frequently is okay. But, if you use a standard shampoo (one with alcohol and other chemical ingredients), it is (in my opinion) best to bathe your Yorkie about once every 2 weeks. Chemical products can remove the natural oils from the skin and hair. This can cause damage to the hair if used too frequently. But, if your Yorkie is dirty, give him a bath. I just don't suggest bathing more than once every 2 weeks with a regular shampoo if your Yorkie is not dirty. As far as conditioning the hair, you can do that each time your bathe your Yorkie. For Yorkies with a more cottony or a modified (part silk, part cotton) coat, more frequent conditioning...more
