“Sammy's never keen on bath day, but this doesn't irritate him and the soft finish lasts. Good value, no fuss.”

Let us be honest - even the most pampered Yorkie can get a little stinky between grooming sessions. This Arm and Hammer shampoo uses their signature baking soda technology to neutralize odors at the source rather than just masking them with heavy fragrances. Yorkshire Terriers have that beautiful silky coat that can trap odors, especially after outdoor adventures or playtime. The moisturizing formula is gentle enough for your Yorkie's sensitive skin while effectively tackling unwanted smells.

Baking soda is a natural deodorizer that works without harsh chemicals that could irritate your 4-7 lb pup's delicate skin. The formula is also suitable for puppies, so it grows with your Yorkie from those early bath training days through adulthood. A trusted household name like Arm and Hammer brings reliable quality to your grooming routine. Keep your Yorkie smelling fresh and cuddly between bath days.
