Stuff To Buy Before Getting A Yorkie What stuff should any of us looking to buy or adopt a yorkie have before hand?I know yorkies are a little more high maintnace then other breeds ;). Thank You |
You should have: a crate/play pen a bed food and water bowls a harness and lead lots of toys pee pads a carrier some of the food which the breeder is feeding the pup |
A carseat is nice to have, but a small carrier, you can buckle in w/the seat belt, works too...You don't want the puppy on your lap, or your passenger's lap, in case the air bag were to deploy... |
1 thing I didn't think of before my puppy came home was baby wipes for her bum. Sometimes it was a little messy and other than giving her a bath, the baby wipes worked great:) |
Dont forget the grooming supplies! Shampoo, conditioner, a good pin brush, comb, grooming bands if you plan to do a topknot. |

When I got home my husband asked me if all that stuff came with her. "Yep." ;) |

Nutrical. Always good to have, but essential if you are bringing home a little baby. |

Nutri-Cal Senior and Puppy Formulas - Sale - Dog - PetSmart This one is for seniors, but they make one for puppies. |
Nutri-cal is a high calorie, high glucose supplement that you use in case of hypoglycemic episodes. |

It's works the same in a hypoglycemic emergency. But the nutri-cal is a loose gel that I think is easier to get in to their mouth. Plus it's easy to throw the tube in to your purse when you go any where. |
yes, karo works, but you don't want to give too much, or you'll end up w/loose stools... |
My vet said to use Karo syrup...just rub a little bit on her gums if needed. |
If you live in a cold area, it would be a good idea to buy a heated bed/pad or one of those that you just pop in the microwave to warm. I always put one in my puppy's playpen with enough space for her to move away if it is too warm. A warm jersey or coat might also be a good idea - you never know when it's going to be cold. Chew toys and small treats are also important. Treat balls are great intelligence toys which keep them busy for hours. Chew toys, like ostrich sinews, bully sticks, etc. to keep the puppy from chewing everything else. If you are planning to train your puppy (every puppy should be trained), start looking into local trainers, etc. Learning clicker training will make training a lot easier. Decide on a potty spot for the puppy. Always take the puppy to the same spot. Look into local groomers or are you planning to groom the puppy yourself? If so, you'll need dog nail clippers, a face comb, a blowdryer if you don't already have one, on top of what the other posters mentioned. A kong and stuffing or peanut butter. A good probiotic for diet changes... |
