How often do you get your Yorkies groomed? I would like to keep my little guy's fur short and not grow real long (I'm getting him this weekend) How often would you say to get him groomed?

Every 3 months

Every couple of months.

We groom Sapphire once a month. We give her more baths than that, though. We clip her nails once a month, and trim her fur once every month or two.

i had miss buffey groomed for the first time in october i think...her next appt is coming up again soon (i think! i need to call them

) ... i think she would be fine every 3-4 months

her hair is pretty short - she has a "puppy cut"

we do it every 6 weeks and also we clip their nails and etc in between grooming.

Thanks for the quick replies

I keep my Lillybug in a short cut. I'm sure Yorkie's coats grow different so it'll just depend on how fast your babies hair grows. Lilly hasn't had a full groom for 2 months and her hair is getting pretty rough lookin'. I took her last month & just did a half groom where they trimmed up her lady bits and nails and all that good stuff and bathed her. I try to bathe her every week. So, I'd say you could go 2 months at the most without your pup looking rough, or if your baby ends up having a slow growing coat, it could be much much longer. You'd still need to do their nails or have them done though.

We had ours groomed mid October and she was starting to get shaggy so we bought an at home groomer and did a little trimming so that she could go a bit longer before going again. We will probably get her groomed again in January.

Every 6 weeks and weekly baths. We love our groomer and they have short haircuts that grow out quickly

Hi,
I have them groomed every 6-7 weeks.
Monday could go longer; but after 8 weeks, Friday starts to look like a Pomeranian.

Hope this helps you, but as you can see, each baby is different.
