[IlmyYorkieAmara]

It seems like Amara is shedding. I thought Yorkie's aren't supposed to shed?? Anyway. When I give her a bath a good bit of hair seems to come out. And then I find it on my clothes. On my hand and in my food. Its crazy. I'm not even sure what it is or why its happening. I don't know if they get a winter coat or not. But maybe she's shedding that. I've researched Yorkie's alot. And didn't see anything about shedding or winter coat or being double coated. But then again she also doesn't meet that "perfection standard" Its not really a problem. Except for when it gets in my mouth or on my food. Not a heavy shedder but close to average. Anyway. Anyone else having trouble with dry itchy irritated skin? Crazy weather outside. I think its affecting her skin. How it shifts from cool, cold and rainy, to warm, to hot. I'm going to the store today to pick up some oatmeal shampoo and conditioner. I think the grains in her food are maybe part of the constant scratching. So grain free again it is. I thought since she wasn't a performance dog that it would be ok to feed her food with grains. Also she was very thin. I've been feeding Blue Buffalo. I've tried wilderness and then small breed puppy.Wilderness is grain free, high protein and I thought about how she doesn't need that much protein. Life protection has grains small breed etc. She's put on some weight thought and feels and seems healthy. She's also been gassy too. Gross. I still love her. Just trial and error. Also. Blue Buffalo can be pretty pricey too. Just for anyone thinking about trying it. There are some five star foods that aren't that pricey that I've tried. I do think they are a little overpriced. But I like them though. I've switched her food alot so its made her kinda picky. I've been slowing down though. I have a plan to solve everything. Just posting for advice and tips. She sleeps like a baby after a bath with oatmeal shampoo. Doesn't budge until morning.
