I am getting my first Yorkie, can you help? Hello.. I am getting my first female min Yorkie in 2 days. I need to know few things: 1- What is the best toothbrush to use to clean her teeth? Is it this? http://dogsaholic.com/wp-content/upl...Toothbrush.jpg 2- What products to use for cleaning her teeth, a gel or toothpaste? And what brand do you recommend? 3- When do I have to clean her ears, every time i shower her? How do I do that and what to use to do that (products)? 4- What else do i need to know about her health? Thank you in advance. |
The best toothbrush is the one she'll allow you to use on her :)! The one you linked to is great though. I like to use Healthy Mouth additive (VOHC approved) too - I put it on their meals. I only clean ears during baths, I just use the shampoo etc but I don't clean the inside of their ears with this...just the surface areas. As far as other things to know - the most inportant thing at this age is that you be VERY careful w/ exposing her to other dogs and germs while she is still getting her puppy shots. |

Thanks a lot! About the Healthy Mouth additive, if i didn’t find it in my country then ican use any other gel or toothpaste or is it best to use a gel and also itsbetter to use something approved by the VOHC? What is this btw? About cleaning the ears, how can I do that and using what? Thanks a lot for your useful information. |
CET has tiny tooth brushes and I really like them. I also really like CET vanilla mint tooth paste. I get mine off of amazon. Every time you get them wet you really should clean their ears with a drying agent because water left in their ears can cause ear infections and other icky things. I use epi otic ear cleaner which was recommended by my vet. Congrats on you yorkie :D |
If you dont have a really great reference book to keep you informed about all aspects of your yorkie, it would be a benefit for you to purchase it....it is available on Amazon.com...."Yorkies For Dummies" ....it is a great book! Congratulations on your new baby! |
I ask my human dentist for a human baby toothbrush (instead of the adult-size ones they give out) each time I go in for a check up :D |
how is the new pup? |
