Before I got Roxy, I read everything I could get my hands on that told how to care for a yorkie. Then I went out and bought at least one of everything that was ever suggested. What ended up working best for us was a pin brush (I couldn't fine one without the little balls on the end), and a flea comb. I read to use the flea comb for the small facial areas, but have ended up using it for all of her. We brush first, then run the flea comb through her, and she seems to really enjoy both steps. The flea comb keeps any nasty tangles from ever setting in. I usually brush/comb her twice a day, but it only takes a couple of minutes each time. Hang in there - Roxy didn't enjoy it at first either, but once we figured out a QUICK and effective routine, it became a very enjoyable time for both of us! |
