Welcome to our Yorkie Family

small kennel or crate

This will be your puppies safe place. He will sleep here and most likely hide his treasures in his blankets. Your puppy will be started on kennel training by the time you take him home. We recommend the smallest size available for dogs.

blanket

A soft blanket or towel is very much appreciated by your new puppy. Place it into his kennel or wherever you want your puppy to sleep.

food bowls

We recommend 2 bowls made of ceramic or stainless steel. Heavy enough so they don't get pushed around while your puppy tries to eat or drink. Need to hold about 2 - 4 cups of dry food. Please stay away from plastic as your puppy might want to chew it up.

food

We provide you with food that will last about 2 weeks. Once you have decided which food you want to feed your puppy slowly add it to his current food and watch for any reactions. If your puppy can't tolerate the new food you might want to try another brand. We feed and recommend Royal Canin Yorkshire food.

harness

We provide you with a harness and leash. This will be good for a few months. Please stay away from collars for puppies under 6 pounds. Their throat is so small and can be damaged easiely. We recommend to use a harness that keeps the throat clear.

We highly recommend this little run. It keeps your puppy safe while still giving it space to run around when you are not home. The connected panels fold up easy for storage or you can take it on vacation or visits. We train your puppy  in this run with his kennel, food, water and pee pad.

 

plastic shoe tray

we use a plastic boot tray to place newspaper so the floor does not get soiled.

shampoo and conditioner

please purchase product that is made for puppies. We use Coat Handler shampoo and conditioner. 

brushes, combs

Your Yorkie has very human like hair which can break easy. A good brush will help keep it in good conditon. We use Plush Puppy brushes and a flea comb to comb the hair around the eye.
