| 1st Bath Ok I need to give Darla a bath. I am ordering her a mustache comb and another brush from Jenny tomorrow along with a shampoo she recommended but I do not think I can wait much longer to give Darla a bath. In the meantime what can I wash her with and brush her with? |

| jenny is a super fast shipper. But if you can't wait, I would use a very mild shampoo, preferably a puppy shampoo. You can brush her with any soft comb but be careful because puppy fur is coarse and you want her to have a good experience to get her used to it.

Senior Yorkie Talker | My baby Banana is 12 weeks she has had lots of play time in the tub. I give her a bath once per week but I fill the tub with warm water for her to just swim and play with her toys. She really likes the water and that way I get to Clean her like face and eyes too.

| I wouldn't use a slicker brush on a Yorkie because they don't have an undercoat - those things can hurt A pin brush is a good option

| I always bathe them in the sink. I find the tub too big & scary for them, and bending over the tub is harder on my back. When we did work on the laundry room, we put in a deep utility tub for the pups. Its great for me because I have all of their supplies and a grooming/laundry table right there. I also avoid the mess from the after bath "shake" in my kitchen! Lori |
