They say it's a good thing to clean Yorkies teeth daily but if you can do it just 1 or 2 times a week, it's good. A lot of times Yorkies and other small breeds have retained baby teeth that do not fall out on their own. They do get adult teeth though. A lot of times what happens is they have "double teeth" so they will have two rows of teeth, literally. I think neutering is a good thing!
(Jackson's under right now!
) It prevents pregnancies from happening by accident! It usually prevents marking and leg lifting in males so they don't mark all over your house. It helps so that they don't roam out looking for a female in heat if they get outside. It also makes it so that they are totally free of getting testicular cancer. And
usually, it just makes for a better, calmer dog.
