1. Adding clothing is the simplest method. However, because Yorkshire Terriers have long hair, wearing clothes can easily cause tangles. Of course, if you groom and comb its hair daily, you don’t need to worry about tangling.
2. If your Yorkshire goes out rarely, you need to ensure that the indoor temperature is not too low. You can choose heating with air conditioning or a small infrared heater.
3. Feeding the Yorkshire hot food is best in winter, and of course, the drinking water should be warm. You can also add a bit of glucose to the water.
