"Don’t use human shampoo or conditioner on your Yorkie. His
pH levels are different, and shampoo made for your hair is too
harsh for his coat and skin.
Mineral oil to protect his eyes
Cotton balls to keep water out of his ears and to clean the eye
mucous"
I don't agree with any of this personally,
I don't see how cotton balls do anything but allow water to seep in ears and stay there-we actually clean ears in the tub with our ear care solution right before and after shampooing-then again mine don't take a bath I use the shower extender head to rinse then, no standing water.
The whole mineral oil seep way sketch.
I use wen on my dog which allows for self adjusting ph balancing for hair and not fur and most dog shampoos unless breed specific are for fur not hair as yorkies have...
