| Tumismom Do you live right in the city of New York? That would explain the cost. Unless you do the grooming yourselves, I can see where it can be expensive owning 2-4 yorkies. And nobady can have just one.lol |

| If I did it the right way (clippers, grooming table...) it would be a couple hundred to start and then just shampoo after that. I skip all of that though and just use scissors. So I is probably less than $20 a year. Ellie's hair is unique though and as long as it is only about a centimeter long, I don't even have to brush it... So I don't really need expensive products.

| Do it myself now Well, I tried the only two groomers I know of in my area, Petco and Petsmart and neither of them did a good job with Tucker in my opinion. Plus it was $50 a pop! So now I just do it myself. I'm not sure what I spend on shampoos, but I always always always use conditioner! I need to make an investment in a grooming table and also some better brushes though.

| I have taken my yorkie (9 #) to Pet Smart and it was $34. I just took my 4 month old shih tsu/yorkie mix (4 #) and they charged me $43. She said it was more because he looked like a Shih Tsu. I don't get it. He didn't have long hair and didn't have any mats. I called and talked to the manager and he said they do charge by the breed. |

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Good question!! What age do you start? I know every pups different. My Pongo, long haired Dashund, I wash and maintain, but I have him groomed/nails every 4-6 months. He gets brushed daily..quite a little shedder. But Aiden is my first Yorkie He's black and tan, and has wirey coat. I need advise on a good condtioner. He' shiney,but wirey. Thanks in advance

| grooming I own my own grooming salon and breed yorkies and shih-tzus and i charge 20-30 for both breeds. If they are not matted it's 20 and if it is show dog or matted 30. thats is the full package...butts,pads,nail trimming and grinding,ears,teeth,bath,trim and perfumed and pretty. and don't forget the Bow. sometimes i paint the nails and thats 3-5 dollars. but being a groomer i recomend if you can do it yourself you will save in the long run. i love doing it but i don't mind telling or showing people how to save them.

| I have been learning to do it myself, and I am really enjoying it!! Mine get baths every week, and I have all kinds of different products because I like to experiment a little bit to see what works best. I find that the shampoos and conditioners last a good long while. I trim their faces as needed to keep the hair out of their eyes, about once a month. We trim nails about once a month or more often, if needed. I let Jake's hair grow longer in the winter because he tends to get cold easy. In the summer, I cut it myself. I'm not the best at it, but at least it looks nice and neat and he is comfy and cool in the summer. Hopefully, I'll get better as I do it more. Jackson is still young, so he hasn't needed a full cut yet. I've only had to trim him so far. I trim the hair on both their behinds as often as necessary to prevent anything getting caught in their har.

| tlauw you pay too little and the other pays too much @$75. The average MOBILE groomer in most states charges now with gas prices.....about $65. That would be a full groom. Brush demat some, (hydrosurge bath) conditioner, full body clippering and/or scissoring. Nails trimmed, ears cleaned, fluff dry. cologne optional and free kisses. Anti-static spray helps prevent tangles. I often use a product called The Coat Handler made by show dog Yorkie people. Awesome conditioner and non detergent shampoo. Senproco makes it. Available thru Ryans' Pet supply Phoenix, Az anyone can call and buy all pet supplies at the same price as groomers. I am a professional mobile groomer, as many of you know.

| I was spending $140 a month on 3 yorkies, so I started grooming them myself. All the supplies, including a professional force air dryer, clippers, table, scissors cost me about $300 but I have made up the money already!! Plus I am not worried about them anymore, when they were at the groomer, I was a nervous wreck!!
