| Peeing On Her Hair HELP Hi there. . . Since my yorkie turned 13 month her hair become very long. When she goes to potty she pees on her hair. She's potty trained to go on puppy pads. She is all most 2years and her hair is touching the ground. I bath her once a week but sometimes twice if she's start to smell of the urine on her hair. I do not want to shave her coat. Do you guys also have this problem or what can I do? Thanks. . . |

| We do a "sanitary shave" where you trim down the under side of them, but their coat on the top/sides stays however you like. It is really nice to have all of that area cleaner. It also keeps down on the knots/mats on their under arms/legs and belly from laying down.

| How about leaving a "pee string"? You can get more details if you do a search on here or Google. |

| When Mimi had floor length hair, we has the same problem. I used dirt & urine repelling products like CC Ice on Ice & The Stuff. Since she is very light, esp towards the back, they worked great. The urine stains were gone, but urine still got on her bum hairs. So I had to wash her bum area every night along w/her paws, which I do anyway after our walks. After awhile, I couldn't wash her every time she went, so I cut only the hairs on her bum area & back legs. This solved the problem. Her hair didn't look funny either.

| You can use a comb as a guide & cut the hair to a desired length. The side leg hair will blend in w/the back, it sounds like it will look funny, but it won't be.

Their spa day is actually 2morrow, so I'll take a pic & post it. I don't think I have any pics of her bum shot (loll) when she had long hair & these are not good examples: but the back is trimmed. You don't need to cut too much. If your girl is lighter, you can actually see the urine stains. You can just cut the hairs that are stained bc those are the hairs that's touching the pee pad or ground when they pee. It's harder to see on darker hair...I also cut the fine hairs in the inner part of her legs & lower belly, along w/the arm pits. Since those are high rubbing areas & tend to tangle.

| Found this pic, drew a line where you're supposed to cut... It will be her bum area where she will sit on, right above her back knee. I used to wrap Mimi's tail bc it was really long w/tissue paper, otherwise that always got pee on it too.
