Why it happens, how to avoid it, and who can get your dog back to looking its best
Yesterday he was a little lord. And today you look at him and do not understand: is it the same graceful animal with a silky coat, or a new type of mop with sadness in his eyes? That’s exactly what yorkies look like when their beauty is hit by time, tangles, and owner underestimation. And guess what, it happens a lot. But let’s fix it – we explain why it happens in the first place, what to do about it, and how to restore your Yorkshire Pet to its former luster.
Why do yorkies lose their groomed appearance so quickly
The Yorkshire Terrier is one of the most spectacular breeds. Its long, fine, silky coat is an aesthetic delight and a challenge at the same time. Unlike many other dogs, the Yorkie doesn’t shed as much, but that doesn’t make grooming any easier. On the contrary: his coat needs regular washing, combing, proper cosmetics and haircuts. Otherwise, it quickly loses its luster, collapses into tangles, collects dust, grease and the remains of walks. Even a few days without combing can turn this breed into something fluffy, overshadowed and not at all Instagram-style.
And many owners fall into the same trap – they want to “leave the coat longer because it’s beautiful”, but are not ready to spend daily time on its care. And then beauty turns into disaster. And it’s even worse when the animal is rarely bathed, uses low-quality products or does not clean the ears, the area under the tail, under the paws…. all this leads to visual and physical discomfort. The Yorkie not only becomes unlike himself, but also starts to feel bad: he feels hot, itchy, nervous and eventually hides under furniture not because he is tired, but because he is embarrassed and uncomfortable.
How to make a yorkie look decent again.
Getting your beauty back is always about regularity. If you want your yorkie to look like from the cover, get ready for a routine. It needs a yorkie grooming. Start with the right regime: bathing at least once every 2-3 weeks, combing – at least every other day. Conditioners, sprays, moisturizers that prevent dryness and tangling are mandatory for the hair of a yorkie. Drying is equally important – do not leave the coat to dry naturally, because it is in a wet state that it is most vulnerable to piling.
But even perfect home care is no substitute for a visit to the groomer. Professional haircut yorkie in Kiev, properly selected for the type of hair, body structure and wishes of the owner – this is what restores the shape, removes excess, emphasizes the muzzle and tail, and at the same time leaves comfort for the animal. If the coat is already in a bad condition – do not expect a miracle: it may have to be shortened a little, but it is better to have a healthy and clean coat than to keep a decorative rag on the animal, which irritates it and looks unkempt.
