| yorkies hygiene Hi everyone I have an 11 week old yorkie. She is using pee pads till now, as she is still not allowed to go outside. She hasn't completed her vaccinations yet. She is in the housetraining phase.The problem is: even if she would go on the pad, I can still feel wetness in the hairs around pee opening. And when she poops, sometimes pieces remain sticking and fall off in the house after she leaves the pad. Will these issues get better when she is older. |

| Welcome to YT and congrats on your new baby. As for wetness after she urinates you can buy unscented baby wipes and clean her, she will always have wetness after she pees, I have had 4 females, now all passed, I would wipe them with their own wet face towel, baby wipes are better, they eliminate the smell of urine, as for pooping, trim the hair short around her bum area so the poop does not get stuck on her fur, and use the baby wipes to clean that area also.

| You need to make sure to keep the hair around her butt cut short or shaved.

| Ok, but if she will always have wetness there and i will always have work to do, so about how many times could she pee when she gets older. She could pee like 10 times now, so I am exhausted. Because i feel I am working so hard with her, either cleaning her up or cleaning the floor. Sorry for my silly question. Will it get better? |

| Their bladders get a bit bigger as they get older and they gain more control of it. It's easier if you keep them confined to like a play pen when you can't watch them. Puppies are very exhausting.

| My girls were walked 3 times a day, so they peed 3 times, so it was not a "job" for me. And yes, puppies are a lot of work just like infant human babies. Like lovetodream suggested, if you keep her in a xpen or iris pen she would be soiling only one area.

| lol, yes yorkie puppies are high energy babies, but like any puppy they are a lot of work. They were not born knowing how to live with humans, it is up to us to teach them how to live among humans, show them proper manners, where to potty. You have selected an awesome breed, the yorkie breed is a very entertaining baby, and a very mischievous baby lol, full of personality. They are very smart and eager to please their humans. You will see all your hard work come together as she grows and get a bit older. Love that little baby, they grow so fast. YT is always here to offer up suggestions, advise when ever you feel you need some.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | The poo should almost always fall off. The main times that it doesn't, it's often bc it's too mushy/grainy or something. If her poo is not firm enough - then you need to change her food...did you change what the breeder was feeding...? As far as pee -- I suppose all dogs with longer hair/fur are going to have a bit of urine on some of their hairs here or there. Keep the area trimmed, but shaving it may be going to far as that can sometimes be very itchy.

| Hello Everyone has all given you some good advice on this issue. I hope I don't appear rude but I don't understand the concern about the wetness when she pees. When a lady uses the bathroom she is wet too until she wipes herself so that is only a normal thing to happen as I see it. Any animal will be wet after they pee. I don't like the feel of it myself and I guess that it is what you mean. I hope you will enjoy your baby and these things will become easier for you to manage and not so stressful to you. Welcome to YT

| I rescued a 2 year old Yorkie and learning about the "sanitary" grooming was a new one to me. Three days after we brought Sylvie home, I gave her a bath, and was I ever surprised to see poop stuck under her tail. Soooo, I got on here, read a bunch of posts, went out and purchased puppy wipes, and her nethers get wiped EVERY time she goes out and potties. It's not that big of a deal, actually. Last weekend I took her to Petco and the groomer gave her "sanitary" groom....it's been really easy. I hope |

| I keep Tibbe's hair trimmed very closely in his perianal and peripenial areas. As dogs age and their stool becomes more solid, you usually have far less problems with BM bits collecting on their butts but I check and clean those areas and his eyes daily just to prevent any collection, mess or odor. Oddly, Tibbe also collects bits of food at the edges of his lips!!! He has a short but full little moustache right across his muzzle but there's no food in that - just right at the edges of each side of his mouth! Have to clean that area daily also! He'd be a mess without his mommie right behind him with a wet washcloth!

| That's so cute. It sounds just like me having 2 sets of washclothes one in bathroom and one in kitchen so I can wipe her anytime she goes even when bathroom occupied. I hope though when she starts to go potty out of the house, she can hold it a little bit longer so that the times I have to clean her up decrease. |
