HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR NEW YORKIE PUPPY

PLease puppy proof your home, Puppies are very curous and can get into trouble.

Keep your puppy on hard puppy kibbles. Hard kibbles is best for your puppies teeth, Yorkies are prone to teeth problems, and the kibbles help keep tarter under control. If you choose to change the brand of puppy food, please do it gradually so he does not get diarrhea.

Keep him in a crate whenever he is not being played with or watched, this is for his own protection.

He likes attention, playing with him is fun

Vaccines should be repeated every 3-4 weeks untill about 16 weeks. Please vaccinate on your own veterinarian's advice. when at the vets office, please hold your pupy in your lap or keep him in his carrier. DO NOT let your puppy on the floor, There have been sick dogs there,

Your puppy is not fully protected until he has had all of his puppy shots. PLease do not take him to public places untill he has all of his puppy shots.

Leptospirosis vaccine has been known to cause problems in small pups and is not recommended.

Worming should be done on a regular basis: every few weeks until they are 16 weeks of age, and then every few months untill he is a year old. Pups are very susceptible to worms.

Food and water should be availoable at all times.

If your puppy stops eating for any reason, watch for hypoglycemia, The puppy may be limp, eyes glazed over, staggered walk, give the pup Nutrical. or Karo syrup, and get him to the vets immediately.

Give your puppy plenty of naps during the day, do not over stimulate him, he is young and takes lots of naps. As he grows he will sleep less.

I recommend a harness: you can pick your puppy up out of danger without hurting him.

never permit your puppy to lick your shoes, Parvo can be carried on shoes.

It is very important to start grooming your yorkie puppy now. Keep the sesions short and fun.
