| What Does A Yorkie Need? Hey Everyone , I am planning to adopt a female Yorkie after lots of months of research on them,they are just such a wonderful breed. I just wanted what stuff I'll need to get home before adopting one - like what kind of dog food - how much of it - what kind of bed and just the basics . Any help would be appreciated.

Thor's Human Donating Member | Welcome to YT! There was another woman here who I think was moving to the UAE, and she said the food choices there were pretty much limited Royal Canin. Personally, I feed Halo. Let's see... you'll need: * shampoo & conditioner. * grooming tools, or a groomer. * dog brush & conditioning spray / detangler. * a bed. * crate / xpen. * wipes. * a plan for potty training. * poop bags. * toys. * food & water bowls. * harness / leash. * a good vet. * Small toothbrush & dog toothpaste.

| hi! that's so great! The dog food depends on what your breeder has been feeding her, and she'll probably provide you with some food at least for the first few days. It's always helpful to do as much research as you can on different kinds of food, as well. I'm in the process of switching my little guy to Wellness Puppy. He was getting Royal Canine puppy from the breeder which is fine but i feel like Wellness has more nutritional value. When it comes to the stuff you'll definitely NEED, Nutrical comes to mind. Nutrical is high calorie supplement that helps yorkies avoid low blood sugar, AKA Hypoglycemia. Since yorkies are so small, especially as puppies, you really need to make sure they are eating enough. If you ever feel like she hasnt had enough to eat, just give her a teaspoon of nutrical just in case. Also the basics, a crate, wee-wee pads, food and water bowls, toys etc. That stuff is easy to find at any petco or local store. Just look for things that are the appropriate size, small! In my opinion the most important things are the food and Nutrical! Good luck! |
