Haircuts and hairstyles for Yorkshire Terrier in Kyiv

To trim the nails of a Yorkshire terrier, use special scissors or claw clippers. Carefully trim the tips of the claws, avoiding cuts to the vessels and nerves inside the claw. Pay attention to the pink part (pulp), from which the vessels run - do not cut it to avoid bleeding. If the claws are dark and it is difficult to determine the location of the vessel, it is better to consult a veterinarian or groomer.

The frequency of trimming a Yorkshire terrier depends on the length of its fur and the chosen style. On average, it is recommended to trim a Yorkie every 6-8 weeks to maintain a neat appearance and prevent tangling and mat formation. If you prefer a shorter haircut, you may need to trim the dog more often, and long fur may allow an interval of up to 10-12 weeks. It is important to consider the individual characteristics of your pet's fur and consult a groomer or veterinarian to determine the optimal trimming frequency.

Hygienic care will take about 1.5 hours. If your pet has long fur, groomers may need a little more time. Comprehensive care, which also includes a model haircut, takes about 2 hours. If the dog is all matted, an additional hour will be added to the standard time.

Yes, it is possible. If you notify us of your desire to pick up the dog later, after the haircut, we will keep it until your arrival. We have an additional "overexposure" service. You can come for your pet at any convenient time before the salon closes — until 7 p.m. The dog will be waiting for you in a comfortable place, where there is clean water, a hygienic diaper, and toys.

Professional groomers recommend doing the first haircut at 5-6 months, not earlier. By this time, the fur of Yorkshire terriers changes from puppy to adult, and trimming will not harm it. Moreover, the dog matures and will more easily tolerate all necessary procedures.

On average — once every 10-14 days. If you use high-quality shampoos and conditioners, like we have in V.O.G DOG salons, you can wash your Yorkie every week. This bathing frequency is due to the small size of dogs of this breed. Their fur gets very dirty on walks, loses its decent appearance, and begins to smell bad. After visiting our salon, your dog can boast shiny, well-groomed fur and will smell good for a whole week thanks to cosmetics based on natural oils.

If you are preparing your dog for a show and are growing their fur, your Yorkie will only need hygienic care and combing to prevent mats in their long coat. In this case, you should not cut your Yorkie's hair.

If your Yorkshire Terrier's fur is in a severely neglected state and there are solid mats, the optimal solution would be to shave it off. This option will be cheaper. If there aren’t many mats, it’s better to choose a combing procedure. Although combing may require additional time and a small additional payment, it is definitely the best choice for the health and comfort of your pet.

We manage without strictness and anesthesia. Even for the most angry and aggressive Yorkie, a muzzle is enough. You do not have to bring a muzzle with you - we will choose a suitable size from our stocks. To prevent the dog from trying to jump off the grooming table, we secure it with a special short leash.

This is necessary if:

the Yorkie has a cap on its head, not a tail;
you are ready to cut the dog regularly - no less than once every 2.5 months;
the fur on the nose grows directly towards the eyes.
If your dog has a tail on its head (top-knot) and a beard, or if you cut it infrequently, then you do not need to remove the hair in the corners of the eyes. Our groomers always coordinate all the details of the procedure with the owners to meet your needs and ensure your pet's comfort.

Owners find it convenient if the fur on a Yorkie’s buttocks is shaved, especially if the dog has a short haircut overall. In this case, feces do not stick to the fur under the tail. This is very convenient and practical. But if your pet has an elongated haircut, it will look funny with a shaved buttock. Therefore, we recommend removing the fur directly around the anus, and everything below, just trim it hygienically. Note that some Yorkies have a very sensitive buttock and stomach area and are prone to irritation after shaving. Such dogs after cutting roll on their buttocks, lick the shaved places, and redness may appear on their stomachs. This most often happens to Yorkies with coarser fur. If you have already encountered such a reaction, please warn us about it. The groomer will leave a little more fur on the problematic areas, so it is short but does not cause problems for the animal.
