| First time grooming!? I looked and couldn't find another topic on this I know there is one but couldn't find it, but I need help; Pann is going to be four months Dec.18 and I need to know if he is too young to take to the groomers? He is rubbing his but on the carpet and I think he needs a sanitary groom, I believe it's called? He's had three shots so far one from the breeder and two from the vet. I just want to be safe and don't want to put my baby at risk. |

| Hi there and welcome to the wonderful world of grooming! I would recommend NOT taking your little one to the groomer until he has had ALL his shots. Matter of fact, some of the chain stores (Pet Smart) won't even take him without all his shots. As for the "boot scootin'" this could be one of two things. There could be an anal gland problem (blockage) or sometimes I find that my male Biewer will do this simply to "wipe his bum". I know..kinda gross...but that's what he does. Is he scootin' all the time or just after a bowel movement? Depending on when he does it may indicate if it's a problem or not. You may want to give your Vet a call and run it past them. Lastly, Yorkies need bathed weekly (with longer hair) biweekly at the longest if you keep them in a puppy cut. I tend to bath mine weekly and groom (brush/comb/topknot/teeth brushing) them daily. Good luck and enjoy your Yorkie. Daily grooming is a great time for you and your Yorkie to connect!
