A Field Note

On choosing the right grooming wipes.

Four small, repeatedly-useful instructions, refined over a winter of testing and one regrettable rainstorm.

i

Brush daily, not weekly.

Silk-textured coats mat overnight. Five minutes a day prevents a forty-minute detangling session a fortnight later.

ii

Hypoallergenic shampoo only.

Yorkie skin is thin and reactive. Anything fragranced or harsh will turn into rash within two washes.

iii

Stop at the eyes.

The hair around a Yorkie's eyes needs daily wipes. Tear-stain build-up becomes a chronic problem if you let it.

iv

Nails monthly, dremel preferred.

Tiny quicks, fragile bones. A nail dremel is gentler and far harder to over-cut than clippers.
