I can only speak for what I know and I am glad that we all have a great place like YT where we can share personal experiences. What applies to a yorkie, may not be the same as something that applies to a westie or cairn or poodle.... Without a forum like this where everyone can learn and share, I wouldn't know what I do. Thanks to everyone who contributes and shares. |
I'm very sorry if it came across that way. The Internet has advantages, but one of the disadvantages is that you don't get the voice inflection and facial expressions, so it can be difficult to interpret what people are saying.
I think doggie day care is great, and I'd get the Bordetella too if I did that. I just don't have to do it because I work from home and my dogs all play together in the house and outside the house. I take them out a few times per day. Actually, I think it's great that you get it for your dogs. The fact that you get it means you're a responsible owner and you're looking out for the welfare of your dogs in your particular situation.
Again, even though I don't do the Bordetella vaccinations, I'd recommend it for anyone who takes their dogs to a doggie day care or park, shows their dogs, or boards their dogs. Some would say also for those who take their dogs in for grooming, but I can't agree with that because there's no reason to take a Yorkie anywhere for grooming unless you just aren't willing to take five minutes a day to do a little brushing. Yorkies are one of the easiest long-haired dogs that exist to groom. Mine are adorable. When I brush one side, they flip over like they're thinking, "Here, get this side too. Oh, don't forget my belly."
I still have Persian cats from my breeding days with those. Talk about grooming!!! Yorkies are easy
