Yorkies tear a lot when they are teething; many people have used Gerber's baby water, sold in a gallon at Walmart, with great results. It has less minerals that tap water. Another cause of the smell could be the result of teething, pups are losing teeth at this age and the smell of rotting food in the old tooth sockets and blood can cause a bad smell. At three months you pup is teething. Some show breeders use a pet drinking bottle to avoid getting their beards wet.

A must have for my mini schnauzer, ironically Elvis prefers it!

Yeast is no joke increases with raw diet try feeding some yogurt and do swab test for bacterial infection.

Mine line up every morning to get their faces washed when they see me washing my own. Warm water filled washcloth does the trick here. I just don't like using cleansers so close to their eyes. All but one of mine have fairly short hair so they don't have much of a problem but Adie gets gooky eyes and she needs a little more attention. Funny though she seems to enjoy it the most. LOL I we have a particular bad need for cleaning I will use a little bit of tear free puppy shampoo.
