VeterinarianIn total, an adult Yorkie has 42 teeth. This includes 12 incisors, 4 canines, 16 molars, and 10 molars. This is a lot of teeth to fit into a small mouth, hence why Yorkies and other small breeds often suffer from overcrowded teeth. -

VeterinarianYorkie's have delicate skin so look for a gentle, mildly moisturizing shampoo that is free from artificial colors or scents. Organic and natural shampoos are best, since these are usually free from phthalates and sulphates. Look for a product containing moisturizing agents such as oatmeal or aloe vera. -

VeterinarianOnce a month is ideal. More often than this and there's a risk of stripping natural oils out of the coat. Less frequent and bacteria may build up on the surface of the skin which can cause itchiness or infections. However, this is a general rule. Some dogs produce more grease than others, so always be guided by the needs of your dog. -

VeterinarianYes. A Yorkie's silky coat needs regular combing and brushing. If the coat is unclipped and long, then comb every day in order to prevent tangles. If clipped, then brushing every few days helps condition the skin and keep the coat glossy and shiny.
