YORKIE Saftey Tips ~ PLEASE READ & ADD your own There's LOTS of new puppy moms and dads here - and this is for them - AND those of us who don't have a baby because yorkies are perpetual puppies and these can be real dangers to them.....
We can ALL add to this - I heard something on the news that reminded me of ALL the things we always need to be AWARE of when having active and very very nosy yorkies.... ASIDE from NORMAL puppy proofing a home I thought I would start a WATCH list of things to always be careful of..... Always watch out when closing a door - yorkies are FAST and can easily get hurt if the door gets closed on them Always keep windows in the car up - they can jump ! Keep ALL medication out of reach - WAY out of reach ..I read where a yorkie got into Birth Control pills that were in someones PURSE - as someone who used to have diet pills in my purse - that was SCARY and sad to read Some Nylon Collars can be shredded and unwind if your yorkie ever gets it off - they can get lodged in their intestines Fences need to be constantly checked - yorkies can dig and watch for holes - they can get out or big dogs can reach in Ponds and pools are a danger...use extreme safety measures - some yorkies do NOT swim Big BIRDS or Hawks around your home is always something to watch out for Always supervise your yorkie around childern - accidents can happen in a second Certain Rawhide Chews can be a danger to yorkies -
Most of us have been very lucky - but others have gone thru the devestation of losing their yorkie .... just a heads up to remember to keep your yorkie SAFE !
