PETTIBONE YORKIES

SUGGESTIONS FOR A HEALTHY, HAPPY, BEAUTIFUL YORKIE

FOOD: I strongly recommend a fresh diet

FRESH DIET: To include a mixture of any of the following:

1. Fresh Meat - Raw lean ground beef, chicken, lamb or occasionally turkey. Also, canned Salmon (including bones) at least 3-4 times a week. If not, add Salmon Oil into mixture.

2. Fresh Vegetables - Pulverize any combination of these suggestions: Green leafy-kale, swiss chard, spinach, cabbage, carrots, brussel sprouts, beans, zucchini, broccoli, parsley, green pepper, peas,
etc.- NO ONIONS

3. Fruits - Apples, ripe bananas, pears, melons, etc. Crush Vegetables & Fruits to an applesauce consistency in food processor.

4. Healthy Oil - salmon oil (needs to be refrigerated)

5. Yogurt - whole milk with honey

6. Eggs - Good source top quality protein- 3 to 4 days a week

7. Organic Apple Cider Vinegar - 1 Tablespoon

Preparation:

Make up mixture of meat, vegetables, fruits, oil, egg and vinegar once a week and freeze in cupcake liners or baggies for daily meals.
Add Pumpkin - plain canned 1 to 2 tablespoons may be added for soft stools.

KIBBLE: not recommended but if necessary Royal Canin Yorkshire Terrier
WATER: Always Fresh Water Available
TREATS: Small Healthy Biscuits .NO RAWHIDE (They can choke on them)
TOYS: Nylabones, rubber squeakies without removable squeaks

SUPPLEMENTS: NUTRICAL- A must to have on hand if puppy not eating, before traveling, or before any stressful event. You can get at your vets.
BATHS: Can be done easily at home. Need to dry with hair dryer. DO NOT allow to just air dry. They can become chilled and very sick.
Shampoo - HYLYT by DVM (very good). Can get at some vets or a good pet store. RINSE THROUGHLY
Cream Rinse - DVM also puts out an excellent rinse Pin Brush and Metal Comb - Can get at a pet store

TEETH: Need to be brushed at least weekly with a dog toothpaste (not human toothpaste) use small children's brush.

FLEAS: NO FLEA COLLARS OR FLEA DIP- THESE ARE DEADLY TO YORKIES
FLEA SHAMPOOS ARE OK (ADAMS OR MYCODEX ARE GOOD)

LEADS: Only soft woven nylon collars or a harness.

CRATES: Small for travel (much safer) and great for potty training.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST-LOVE, LOVE, LOTS OF LOVE
