Yorkshire Terrier (Detailed Introduction)

Yorkshire Terriers are long-haired dogs, so shedding is inevitable. With the arrival of spring, the shedding of Yorkshire Terriers seems to worsen. To reduce the troubles caused by Yorkshire Terrier shedding, owners need to do something about their dogs.

1. Frequent brushing

In spring, brushing your Yorkshire Terrier once a day is not enough. If you don't want to see dog hair all over the house, owners had better brush the dog twice a day, morning and evening. When brushing, pay attention to the layers of the hair. Once knots are found, deal with them immediately. While brushing, owners can also check the dog's body to see if there are any wounds or skin diseases.

2. Use professional shampoo and conditioner

Never use your own shampoo to bathe your dog. The main reason is that the dog's oil secretion level differs from humans. If human shampoo is used for a long time, it will not reduce shedding; instead, it will make shedding worse.

3. Dietary Attention

If dogs eat foods high in salt, they will shed hair. We have always advised owners not to feed dogs table scraps because the salt content in human food exceeds the standard for dogs. Therefore, feeding dog food is enough. Owners who want to prepare nutritious meals for their dogs need to pay attention to nutritional balance and control the salt content in the food.

4. Sunlight exposure

With spring here, owners might as well take the dog outside to get some sun. Ultraviolet rays can kill bacteria and viruses in the dog's hair, helping maintain hair health and reduce shedding.
