2. Get a good food..the key is to find food that the dog will eat, but that is not allergic to. (watch food containing corn)...mine seems to like Nuto Ultra.
3. Get her used to being bathed..mine still HATES it!!!
4. I kept frosted flakes on hand when she was very young as a treat to keep her sugar up..still give her some now from time to time
***This site has helped me so much..any questions you have, use these people..better than any book!!!
Oh, and don't forget...lots of love!!!! |
he-he-he, i just wanna give her the best life she can possibly have, thank you for sharing that information. this is a very helpful site, i just joined today and already have learned so much! all tips for being a first time yorkie owner are greatly appreciated
