It is essential that your teacup yorkie puppy should be groomed. This not only promotes cleanliness but also enhances the bond between you and your puppy.

He needs to learn to be touched from his nose to his toes. Learning this while young will make grooming and veterinary examinations easier.

The types of brushes you need will depend on his coat. If your teacup yorkie pup has a short coat, you will need a short bristle brush or a grooming glove. For a long-haired teacup yorkie, use a widely spaced comb with blunt teeth and a long bristle brush.

You will also need blunt end scissors and canine nail clippers. Ear wipes for ear cleaning are also a necessity. Your teacup yorkie puppy must get used to bathing on a regular basis – every 10 to 14 days if he is an indoor dog and once a month of he lives outdoors.

Good thing here is, he can be washed in a basin. Cry skin will not be a problem provided you continue putting oil in his food. Stick to shampoos made specifically for puppies.

Always groom your teacup yorkie pup before bathing and stick some cotton in his ears to prevent the water from entering the ear canals. If you plan on washing his face, place a gentle ophthalmic ointment in his eyes for protection.

Make sure he is completely dry before allowing him outside.

Nail trimming should be done every six weeks. This is very important because long nails can cause the foot to splay or spread, causing lameness.

If your teacup yorkie pup has his dewclaws (the claws higher up his leg) then these can curl around and pierce his skin, as well as rip clothing if he jumps up.

Before trimming his nails, look closely at them. They will appear like hooks. You must be careful not to clip the quick, which contains a blood vessel. If cut, it can bleed a lot. Be sure to have styptic powder on hand, just in case.

If your teacup yorkie pup’s nails are white, the quick will be easy to spot – it appears pink under the nail.  For black nails, clip little pieces at a time until the hook-like part is gone. As you can see it is very important for your pup to remain still and relaxed for nail clipping.
