Yorkie Health

Yorkies are prone to a number of problems, including: dental problems, hair loss, hypoglycemia, Legg-Perthes disease, patellar luxation, portocaval shunt, and other disorders.Give your dog Dentabone edible chew toys, in order to keep it's teeth clean.If your dog suffers from bad breath, you may give her some parsley, as it will help her digestion and give her fresh breath in the process.
Make sure to keep chicken bones, or other small objects of your dog's reach, since they represent a choking hazard.

A normal adult Yorkshire terrier weighs around 3 kgs but some Yorkshire terrier breeders are producing miniature Yorkshire terriers, teacup Yorkies, and pocket size yorkies, which can be as small as 600 g at one year old. Teacup puppies really do fit in a teacup, but sometimes it's not a mini Yorkie at all, but the runt of a litter who grows to full size and no longer fits in a teacup.
Yorkie health is dependant on many things, however just like us, stress and anxiety plays a huge part on how healthy they are. Even though a dogs life may not seem very stressful it can be. Please take care of your yorkie, both body and mind.
