“Do’s & Don’t for your New Yorkie Puppy”
We as a breeder strive to love our Yorkies and understand their needs
more than our wants. These precious fur babies love to be held and are
known for being on the laps of their owners.
1.) First day- Let puppy get plenty of rest. Remember No rest causes stress and
causes Hypoglycemia, which can be fatal in all new puppies.
Remember to count food pellets for the puppy the first 48 hours.
You should put at least 20 pellets at a time, if puppy consumes it then
put the remaining portion down for him/her to complete. Puppy food portions
are on the bag of food and is shown serving a day.
Example: ( 2lbs puppy 1/2 cup so 1/4cup is to be consumed morning and night )
On Proplan Puppy shows for a 3lb to 5lb puppy. My yorkies are tiny so the
serving is not a cup, its a 1/2 cup a day served in two portins at 1/4 cup
morning and 1/4 cup at night.
Again talk to your Veterinarian for suggestions.
2). Give puppy nutria-cal 3 times a day if puppies eating habits are poor. .
You should feed your puppy 3 times a day until 10 to 12 weeks. So this
means divide the 1/2 cup into 3 portions, feeding them morning , noon,
and night. Always feed at the same time for good potty habits. Of coarse
talk to your Veterinarian on the right age to start the 2 times a day feedings.
You can soften the food with warm water to help activate eating habits.
Do not switch brand foods all at once. This needs to be done in
small portions. And should not be done until puppy is about 6 months.
3.) Check on puppy during the night for the first three nights. If puppy
looks limp and doesn’t respond to your voice, you should give
1cc of Dextrose and repeat this if no response occurs in 5 minutes,
seek veterinarian attention immediately.
(Call your Veterinarian)
Dextrose is a solution of half sugar half water.
Never leave your puppy more than a few hours the 1st day
4.) If a lose stool occurs for more than 3 times in a 3 hr span contact
your Vet.
5.) Bathe puppy no more than every 7 days, no less than every other week.
Use a mild tearless shampoo. I use Bio Groom tearless shampoo with
lanolin ordered from
Petedge .com.... Order # is BG20012 and Bio Groom Silk conditioner
order #BG32012. Brushing the puppy helps him/her adjust to it, and
keeps the coat clean. So you should brush your yorkie daily if you
want the coat long and silky. Clip around the puppies eyes to prevent
tearing. Also clip nails monthly to prevent cuticles from getting too
long and bleeding when you clip their nails
6.) Important to get their shots at 6 , 9, 12, & 16 weeks.
7.) Do not put puppy in a bed, chair, sofa, ect….Falling causes
death, or very serve head trauma
8.) Crate Training is the best way to potty train your new puppy.
I use the black wired crate from Walmart. 21Wx23Hx30L. Its about $38.00.
9.) Make sure to have fresh water at all times. Measure the quantity
of fluid intake daily. You can use a syringe to force the puppy to drink
10.) A tooth cleaning begins at one year. Call your
Vet for an appointment.
This is very important
11.) Give chewy sticks to help with teeth cleaning.
12.) If you do not intend to breed your dog have her/him spayed at
the age of 6 to 9 months.
13.) Potty training begins the first day. Do not scold your puppy if
he/she has an accident. Remember persistency and praise is the key to training.
14.) A puppy will potty usually 3 minutes after he/she eats.
15.)Most of all give your puppy lots of love daily, because
A HAPPY PUPPY IS A HEALTHY, LOVABLE PUPPY!
