A Field Note

On choosing the right health.

Four small, repeatedly-useful instructions, refined over months of testing with a 3.2 kg Yorkshire Terrier who has opinions about everything.

i

Small-breed dosing — always.

Most over-the-counter dosages assume a 30-pound dog. A 3 kg Yorkie can be poisoned by a regular adult dose.

ii

Joints from year five.

Hip and knee issues appear early in toy breeds. A daily glucosamine chew at age five buys you years of comfortable walks.

iii

Dental, dental, dental.

Yorkies are notorious for dental disease. Daily brushing, weekly dental chew — there is no third option.

iv

First-aid kit for travel.

Vets are not always thirty minutes away. A small kit — gauze, styptic, saline — covers ninety percent of incidents.
