QuestionHow often do you wash a Yorkie?Dr. Elliott, BVMS, MRCVS is a veterinarian with over 30 years of experience in veterinary surgery and companion animal practice.

Less frequent and bacteria may build up on the surface of the skin which can cause itchiness or infections. However, this is a general rule. Some dogs produce more grease than others, so always be guided by the needs of your dog.

A Yorkie's silky coat needs regular combing and brushing. If the coat is unclipped and long, then comb every day in order to prevent tangles. If clipped, then brushing every few days helps condition the skin and keep the coat glossy and shiny.
