To the long haired yorkie owners...

[BabyGirl Rosie]

Rosie has long hair. Can I ask what shampoo you are using? I noticed there were certain ones I used that didn't keep her smelling good all week. As I give baths weekly. I also use yorkie sheen as a detangler/smell good.

As far as the pee smell, use wipes or maybe have the groomer trim her hair that's underneath.

[ShowGirlLola]

Lola is the same age as Miley and her hair looks the same. Lola doesn't smell like pee and it's been a week since her bath.

The only thing I've done is cut some hair on her lower belly and she had a long clump of hair on her girl parts that I've cut twice. I've also cut hair off her butt because poop got stuck in it.

I use espree before that I used isle of dogs. It's not even just the smell she has urine in her coat and I can feel it and it hurts when I brush her so i can't brush her underside until after baths

Her whole back hind leg area and between her legs would turn yellow cuz she was just peeing on it when she tried to go. I took clippers to it about 2 weeks ago cuz I couldnt do it anymore (just the back area where it would get stuck, i wont try all of her im scared of that lol). when she sits on my lap basically anytime im sitting down I cant take the smell lol. lily is white and silver so you can see pee in her hair.

Ah! Someone with the same problem! Finally!

She gets urine in her hind leg hair too :/ does Lola?

Like most have said, trim her "no no" area and the inside of her legs, and maybe a bit of her legs. If you are doing it yourself use a trimmer, not scissors. It's a bit safer for newbies.

No, but I might have cut the hair off that you're having a problem with when I cut the poop off her.
I cut the hair off about an inch around her butt and trimmed some of the hair on the back of her legs.


Depending on how much hair the urine's in, I'd probably just cut/trim that hair off and neaten from there.

I would wait until a couple of weeks after her last set of puppy shots. If she hasn't had them yet, and you don't want to take her to the vet, you could try trimming her yourself. If you're just doing her lower belly and the inside of her legs, it won't show if you trim it a little unevenly. They sell the trimmers (electric clippers with plastic guides) at pet stores, and maybe even at Walmart.

My Leilani looks exxxxactky like Miley!! They're even the same age. Sometimes Lani smells like pee but I think it's because they're sloppy little babies. At night I give her personal areas and back legs a rub down with baby wipes or warm cloth.

Ill try the warm cloth! Because the wipes aren't cutting it lol

First I have to say your Miley is adorable, I can't imagine anything that cute can stink. I don't have any advice really, Winston lifts his leg so high to pee that he couldn't possibly pee on himself. He has a long coat, but he does go to a groomer and she shaves his underside/belly and around his butt and inside of his legs. He gets bathed every 2 weeks at the least, and I really don't smell urine on him at all.

Thank you! and oh trust me she's a definite stinker lol. My whole room literally stinks and I just washed everything yesterday. I need to find a groomer in my area outside of petsmart.

She is really gorgeous, Courtney!!

Jasper had a lot of hair on his belly, too. But, no urine smell. Have you tried using puppy wipes or a plain, moist paper towel to wipe her after she pees? Just to keep the urine from running into her hair? Bless both of your hearts....a bath every 2-3 days is a lot. Especially if she hates them.

[Hazels-momm]

A warm rag works for me also on a messy day.

[MikaTallulah]

Give her a hygienic hair cut. It should help a lot.

A baby wipes are a must.

Roxy my only 1 in full coat does get a Vajj rinse several times a week.
