Is it true that if they get low blood sugar, you can feed them a marshmellow or cheerios? What type of bed would be the best for her (She will be small). How well do yorkies react to crate training? What shampoo&conditioners are recommened?
I just want to make sure my little princess is well taken care of  |
Welcome to YT! And congrats on getting your new baby!
You will hear my different opinions on food. It really comes down to what works best for your fur baby. Avoid the cheaper brands and watch for treats made in China. I personally home cook for mine.
For low blood sugar, I keep Nutri Cal on hand. You can get this at numerous places. My vet also carries it.
For beds, my girls LOVE the Cloud 9 bed you can get through Yorkie Haven Rescue. I have 3 in my home.
I have never crate trained so I can't help you here.
Shampoo is another that you will find different opinions. I think one of the best is Yorkie Splash and Shine. We love the detangler, Yorkie Sheen. Another favorite of mine is IV SAN Bernard. It is pretty pricey but I really like it for my Rosie who has long hair.
Hope that helps! Again, welcome!
