Yorkie Hair Cuts

My friends yorkie has short little tummy hairs but then like there is this one hair and its on his penis and its nasty and we want to cut it, because after he pees its all gross and wet and ya… Soo can we remove with regular scissors? Because I want to, random but true! Thanks guys!!

Yes, the hair can be cut off. Do not cut the dog. If you’re afraid to do it yourself, take the dog to a groomer and ask for a "sanitary trim".

I got my pup 2 month ago, the backyard breeder who sold me this dog was very bad. Feed him low-quality food such as Beneful, and only feed him little each time ( because he dont want my pup to get bigger ). Also my pup was having serious flea problems on all over his body. I think these are the reasons my pup got dry ,dull and thin hair. After i brought him i feed him premium grain-free dog food. Did all the shots and apply frontline plus on him. His new hair is shiny and beautiful. So should i cut all his old,dry and dead hair??
He is eating salmon oil everyday.

It sounds like your puppy had a rough time before he found you and he’s very lucky to have you being so attentive to his needs!

If you live where it’s warm this time of year, you could do that but it’s not necessary. If you live where it’s cold, I would leave it. Also, if you bathe him and then follow the bath with a leave in moisturizing cream rinse, that will make a world of difference in his coat.

He should be eating a puppy formula for a small breed dog. It does not have to be grain free. Sometimes the premium foods are too high in protein for a puppy and will cause diarrhea and the grains help give fiber that he needs for regular bowels. But the puppy formula has a different percentage of protein, calcium and other minerals necessary for forming healthy bones, and it is a little bit more nutrient dense, which is also important since puppy tummies are tinier.

If you are giving WSO every day, you are probably giving too much. I would cut back to no more than three times weekly if you are using the 500 mg capsules. If you are using the liquid, 500 mg three times a week is more than enough. He will need a small amount of Vitamin E added to his diet or he won’t absorb it properly anyway. He should get a 100 mg capsule once weekly.

Although his commercial food will have adequate Vitamin E to meet his needs, it won’t have enough to properly metabolize the the additional WSO which is why you need a supplement.

The supplement that I find helps the most for skin and coat problems is evening primrose oil. Again, because of his small size, I would give a 500 mg capsule 3-4 times weekly. You can alternate with the WSO, giving one or the other each day.

Lastly, up to six months of age, Yorkies tend to do better on multiple smaller feedings a day – 3-4 feedings a day. After that, you can stick with three and gradually reduce to two once he’s a bout 10 months old. But Yorkie puppies have a tiny tummy and tons of energy and they need the calories. They can’t always get as many calories as they need in the two feedings and if they are given too much, they may not absorb the nutrients as well (or not at all if they don’t finish a meal). It works better to spread their feedings out more until they are a little older.

So my Yorkie got his hair trimmed and I thought his legs should be cut a little more so I started snipping here and there and it ended up to look HORRIBLE. Can anyone tell me how long it takes to go back to it’s normal length? Or how to make it grow faster? Thanks.

Actually you can make her hair grow faster i had the same problem with mine. feed her a spoonful of peanut butter once a day. its very healthy for their coat and makes the fur grow back faster and healthier as ever. so not only are you helping your dog grow that beautiful coat back but also a healthy coat hope it helped.

Yesterday i cut my dogs hair really short. hes a Yorkie. when is his hair gonna grow… more or less.

Two weeks it be the right length

My yourkshire terrier is getting a hair cut tomorrow. But I cant find a right picture (I WILL NOT RISK THE GROOMER DOING SOMETHING WRONG AGAIN!!!)
could you please give me links to a few kinds of a lion cut?

-mainly short hair
-bald ears
-medium lenght around head
-underbelly hair left

thank you

I have never seen a yorkie with a lion cut.

They don’t have the hair for that type of cut.

I think you may need to research what you want a bit more.

If you get a good groomer you can show and tell them exactly what you want…it’s their job to make you happy.
