Everything for the coat of a 3.2 kg Yorkie.

A Yorkie’s coat behaves like human hair, not fur. It grows continuously, it tangles at the speed of light, and it rewards daily attention with something genuinely beautiful — or punishes neglect with a matted mess that takes forty minutes and a very patient dog to sort out.

Sammy gets brushed every morning. This is non-negotiable. Five minutes with the right brush prevents the kind of session that neither of us enjoys. The tools in these departments are the ones that have survived the audit — everything that snagged his coat, irritated his skin, or simply didn’t work on a double-coated toy breed has been quietly retired.

Grooming a Yorkie properly covers four systems: the coat, the nails, the ears, and the teeth. The dental section is the one most owners underestimate — Yorkies are notorious for periodontal disease, and a daily routine started early prevents expensive intervention later. Start there if you haven’t already.
