Every dog breed needs specific attention and care, especially if they are puppies. Taking in consideration those specific needs is one of the central things that transform regular dog owners in responsible and sensible ones. And this is simply because you can not follow directions that are thought to be used for strong breeds and apply them to small and delicate breeds. One of the first things you need to take into account about a proper Yorkie puppy care is the one related to nutrition and diet. As with any other breed the feeding that you provide your puppy is something that will mark him for the rest of his life because in this stage is where you give him all the strength and energy that will allow a good growth. In the particular case of Yorkie puppies, you should know that they can from time to time present digestive problems and that they tend to have delicate teeth so the best thing for you to do is assuring them a complete and leveled nutrition that includes all types of food. If you get them dry food, make sure it specially made for puppies and that this meal should be combined with other preparations. Yorkie puppies should be fed at least three times a day to provide them with a good amount of energy and strength. Water is also really needed to complete a good nutrition. When it comes to making your new Yorkie puppy get used to your house, you must properly demarcate the area that he will have access to and avoid any wondering in the whole house because he may get out of your control and into dangerous situations. For the first period of life also avoid taking him to exteriors and keep him locked in a comfortable and warm place. Make sure that the floor is well covered with papers since Yorkie puppies can have difficult times at controlling their first feces. Remember that Yorkie always need a good amount of sleeping and that if you are trying to train him naps should be included in the schedule. In terms of health issues, Yorkie puppies may present skin allergies as well as eyes and ears infections. Taking your puppy to the vet to ask for information, advices and health care as soon as possible (and as often as possible) is always a good choice to make, especially with such a delicate dog breed. And remember that loving your dog is also a very important part of any Yorkie puppy care and that if you treat your Yorkie puppy with a good amount of affection, love and tenderness, you will become really close and will be able to enjoy every day of your lives.
