First, like I always say, be sure you know what you are dealing with. Some dogs get Eczema which can leave you with a dull, greesy coat. If your not sure, your groomer or vet can help you tell if there's something wrong with her skin. Once you've got that down - if its Exzema, you'll probably be prescribed a sulfa shampoo (also good for certain types of skin fungus). There is also animal iodine shampoos on the market but I'd be cautious with a very small Yorkie and be certain to dilute if I were to go that route (the stuff I use is actually made for rain rot on horses).

If it isn't either of the above, I highly recommend two products from Plush Puppy - the itchy skin shampoo and the deep cleansing shampo. Both dilute well and both really help to clean and condition the skin.
