question 2: how long should i wait to take her to the groomer? I have giving her baths at home already but i wasn't sure about the groomer.
Welcome to you and Bria.

You can search and post in the health and diet section about the food situation. BJ and SD foods aren't great but Wellness is fair. Be careful with their kibble though because there has been some concern of fish bones in their fish formula. It is fine to feed only canned but most people disagree with this. Whatever you feed, her teeth should be brushed.

You could post your other question in the Grooming Section. She shouldn't go until at least one or two weeks after her last puppy shot. At tje same time, she should go as soon as possible so she gets used to it. Quite a few of us groom ours yorkies at home because it is much cheaper and then you don't have to worry about neglect, abuse and potentially dangerous situations (like leaving the table while the dog is in a noose and drying cages) while you're not watching.
