New Yorkie Owner I have read so much info on the Yorkie my brain is swollen. Have always rescued Poodles and now I am getting a 3 year old Yorkie from the shelter tomorrow. After reading everything about the Yorkie I must say I'm a little worried about all the health issues and having the right kind of food among other things. Would appreciate any vote of confidence I can get. |
Welcome to Yorkie Talk and congratulations! Being nervous is understandable, but bringing home an adult Yorkie is a little less intimidating. Bring your new baby to the vet for a basic wellness exam as soon as possible. It's good to establish a relationship with the vet too. Use a harness and not a collar for leashes. Yorkies are prone to luxating patellas, knee problems. Preventing jumping from beds and other high places is recommended. Use doggy stairs or ramps. I'm very conservative with food and treats because Yorkies are susceptible to pancreatitis and digestive disorders. My boys eat kibble as their primary diet, Fromm Chicken a la veg. They get a limited list of fresh foods that are simple like steamed chicken. Don't worry too much. Feel free to ask many questions. Best wishes! |
