My First Yorkie Puppy Must-Haves

[BabyGirl Rosie]

Welcome to Yorkietalk! And welcome to the wonderful breed of Yorkies! Prepare to have your heart stolen by this baby. . Are you getting a boy or a girl? You have been given great advice. Get a good bed. Don't waste your money on cheap ones. Go ahead and get a good one. You will end up doing it anyway. I highly suggest a Cloud 9 bed from Yorkie Haven Rescue! We have 3! But my girls LOVE them. Fleece blanket, toys, shampoo, potty pads, food and water bowls, etc. Get a good brush and start brushing as soon as you can. My Rosie actually enjoys being brushed! We use the Madan brush from toplinepet.com. Find a good vet and ask about foods. Be very careful on what you feed your pup. So many companies are having recalls. If you plan on traveling with your baby, look at good carriers and a car seat. Never thought I would use either one f them but I do! Finally, this is my latest item I want to purchase, look at pet strollers. You might just decide you want one! . Good luck with your new baby.

I think it's best not To go overboard to start with . I bought loads of clothes that ended up a waste of money cause they out grew them before they were worn. I also bought beds and dog carriers that were too small in a few weeks . My advice would be get only the basics and add to it as you need to when puppy has been home a while. Main things are food, same type as breeder is feeding, you can change this later if you want but best let the wee one settle in first, a cosy bed and blanket with the smell of the litter on it, bowl for food and water and pee pads if you are going to use these. A couple of chew toys are a good idea someone suggested nylabone, if you are using these make sure it's the soft puppy one . The hard ones are really bad for their teeth causing breaking splintering Of the teeth. Wouldn't worry too much about lead and harness cause you can't take them out until after the immunisation anyway and if you wait you can take the pup with you to buy it making sure you get a good fit. Clothes are in my opinion not an essential nor are strollers, if you are taking him/her in the car, a good carrier is important , one that can be attached to the seatbelt to keep them safe. Just make sure to get one big enough to suit when they are fully grown. You will get lot of conflicting advice, just pick what you like and leave the rest enjoy your puppy that's the main thing.
