Hey guys! As you know our Yorkie will be coming home very soon and I have ran upon yet another question. LOL.
I went to PetCo and PetSmart yesterday and bought all of our essentials. I had a collar, leash, and harness on the list but once I got to the store and saw everything and on the different sizes, I sort of froze up. I just wasn't sure what size and which one would fit and would be more comfortable for her. So I left those things off until I can be sure. We should be picking her up next week. She will be 12 weeks on Oct. 10.
So I told my husband that maybe once we got her home I could measure her and then go back and purchase those things. But first of all, I'm confused on the measurements. Where and how do I measure?
Or I could just take her to the pet store with me and fit her there. My only concern with that is she won't be finished with her puppy shots until 16 weeks right? Is it safe to take her places or do I need to wait? What did you do with your babies? If I can take her, do I need to hold her or keep her in a carrier, make the trip a quick one, and not let her interact with other dogs just in case? Or am I being too overprotective? I just do not know and don't want to mess up. Being a new Yorkie owner, I'm still learning these things. I mean, I know we'll be taking her to the vet right after we get her for her to get checked out and set up her last shots. And she'll be exposed to things there, so is it ok to take her to the pet store?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much for your help!!!!
