How to Groom a Yorkshire Terrier at Home

“Ah, the Yorkshire Terrier — a miniature noble, cloaked in shimmering threads of gold and steel. Such refinement, dear human, requires your devoted hand to preserve its lustre and grace.” — Lola

At-Home Grooming Routine

  • Brushing: Daily with a soft pin brush and comb to prevent tangles.
  • Bathing: Every 2–3 weeks with a nourishing, moisturizing shampoo.
  • Eye & Ear Care: Wipe eyes daily to prevent staining; clean ears weekly.
  • Paw & Nail Care: Trim nails every 2–3 weeks, and tidy fur between pads.
  • Top Knot or Trim: Tie up head hair or trim to avoid eye irritation.

When to call Lola’s Pet Salon

  • If your Yorkie’s coat becomes matted despite brushing.
  • If the top knot needs expert tying or the coat requires shaping.
  • If tear stains persist or ears show signs of buildup.
  • If you want to treat your Yorkie to ultrasonic teeth cleaning — gentle, pain-free care for dazzling smiles.
