Small kennel/crate

 

Safe toys - Get some soft plush toys for your Yorkie to play with. Any petstore should have plenty of soft toys to choose from. Be careful of toys that have materials that could fall off or splinter off, as it may injure your baby. You can also give them an old T-shirt of yours or an old tied up sock of yours. When you are gone, they like having your scent around.

 

Grooming items, shampoo/conditioners, brush/comb -  Get a brush or two so you can groom your Yorkie and take care of its coat. An air-cushioned wire brush and a natural bristle brush would be good choices.

 

Food (most often breeders recommend your Yorkie pup maintain the same diet that he/she is on when adopted. If you’d like to change your Yorkie’s diet change it gradually to decrease the chances of an upset tummy. Ask the breeder what food they have been feeding your Yorkie. They will have a good idea of what is good for Yorkies if they raise them. We prefer brands like Royal Canin.

 

Soft bed - Choose a bed with a good cushion with thick fabric. That will keep your Yorkie warm at night.

 

Food/water dishes - Get a dish with two sections, one for water, one for food. Steel dishes may be best for hygiene purposes but ceramic dishes would work as well. Plastic food and water dishes normally are not recommended as they can harbor harmful bacteria.

 

Harness type collar with leash -  Get a leash and collar that fits your baby. A simple short leash should suffice.
