He seems to like that. But I've onl had him about two weeks now. I gave him a bath the first week and his coat is already oily. Is once a week too much? Does anyone use a blow dryer to dry them off?
I also had a question about the tears. I noticed yesterday that he had tear build up at the corner of his eyes. What's the best way to get rid of them? |
Hi, welcome to Yorkietalk, you should start a thread of your own, and introduce your baby. When they are puppies they seem to need a bath all the time, once a week is ok, just be sure and use a conditioner as I stated in my previous post. I use a blow dryer, when he was younger I used a very quite one, now he's not even afraid of the noisy one, but be careful and don't use too high of a heat. For tears, you can use a warm moist cloth, stedmansmommy, a member here, says that she warms a damp paper towel in microwave a few seconds, which I thought was a great tip because it take forever to get my water warm. Just make sure it doesn't get too hot.
