Last week my daughter which is 17 years old begged for a yorkie the whole summer. well we found one and we got him this past Monday. what a week we've had. I just want to thank everyone so much for the advice that's offered on this site. you've helped us so much!!! he's doing great now....thanks to all of you. we went through the not eating and throwing up. I did all the things you suggested and since Thursday he's doing great! I'm so happy because i was so worried about him. There is one question I have. Is there any dog shampoo that's favored over another? The one we were using which is more for moisterizing than anything wasn't helping his doggie smell. I bought one last night called Pure and it's more non chemical with more natural ingredients. I bathed him this morning, so I'm not sure how long the clean smell will last. Just wondering if anyone has had one work better than another. sorry so long........thanks again.
oh by the way we've never had a yorkie before. He's just the sweetest little fellow. He's about 3 1/2 monthes old.

Welcome and congrats on the new puppy. You will get a long list of shampoos because everyone has their own favorites. I use Minksheen and Earthbath Both have good scents. When mine were puppies though I used a puppy tearless shampoo I got at Petco

I'm not a pro on the bathing and which shampoo to use as I too am still trying to find the one that works best for my girls (cleans, smells good, great for the coat & skin)... Just wanted to welcome you to YT. Good Luck with your new little furbaby and look forward to hearing all about him!

Welcome to YT. Am so glad you could join even if your daughter is the one who has the Yorkie.

Their are some coat differences in the Yorkie and I've found what works for one may not work the same for the other. I bought many brands trying to get one that works on all of mine and found #1 All Systems shampoo and conditioner is the best. #1 All Systems - Complete Line of Grooming Products

I use the Super Cleaning & Conditioning Shampoo and the Botanical Conditioner.

We use Budd Wash, Buddy Rinse, and Buddy Splash by cloudstar. We love it.
