Should You Cut Your Yorkie’s Hair at Home?
Generally speaking, Nelson doesnt recommend at-home grooming. Since you never want to cut your beloved pet, its best to leave it to the professionals. However, there are ways that you can keep their coat fresh and cared for in between appointments.
Nelson warns if you dont brush your Yorkshire terrier (or any dog) regularly, most of their grooming session will be spent having their hair unmatted and detangled. Not only is this unpleasant and time-consuming, but it can also be painful for your Yorkie. “An easy solution to this is to brush daily. That way, when its time to be trimmed, pet parents can focus on the task at hand,” she suggests.

How Often Should a Yorkie Be Groomed?
As a general rule, Nelson says Yorkies should be groomed every six to eight weeks, but the time between groomer visits will vary depending on the type of cut they have. “To keep coats healthy and shiny, shampoo and yes, even condition, during bath time. Some Yorkie parents go as far as to use a leave-in conditioner,” she recommends. “In between baths and grooming appointments, daily brushing of a Yorkies coat is needed to prevent matting and tangling.”
If you have the extra grooming time on your hands, a longer Yorkie show cut can be quite elegant.
