Yorkies need just about as much preparation as a baby. The excitement of getting a new yorkie baby is overwhelming... now that you've purchased your new little baby, you will need to do some shopping.  Here is a list of things we recommend:

1. Dry Kibble (Iams Smart Puppy is good) or any quality dog food.

2. Iams Puppy canned food (you can mix a little bit with the kibble if you want to feed wet food).

3. Dog bowl for water, dishes for food

4. A fluffy bed.  Yorkies really like to snuggle, so a snuggle type bed would be perfect.

5. A crate (not too big and not too small)

6. Wee we pads.

7. Chew toys (pig ears are great).

8. Small squeeky toys, small balls.

8. A harness and very light weight leash.  Never use a collar on a yorkie, they are delicate little dogs and a harness is so much better...plus they are adorable.

9.  ID tag (you can get these from most any pet supply store)

10. A warm coat.  Yorkies do not care for the cold, the wind or the rain....so button their little bodies up and keep them warm. 

11. Toothbrush and toothpaste.  This is especially important if you feed your yorkie wet food.  It's easy to do...follow the instructions on the toothbrush/toothpaste kit.

12. Tearless Puppy Shampoo.  It's easy to get them to enjoy bathing by making is pleasant and giving them a reward such as a small  piece of cheese (during and after).  Never put water or soap on your yorkies face.  Wet a wash cloth with warm water and clean it that way and only that way.  After a few times in the sink, your yorkie will learn that bathy bath time is fun!

13. Small hair brush.

14. Small elastic bands for pony tails.

15. A book or two about Yorkies!!!
