Yorkies may be tiny, but their coat is big on maintenance. Their silky hair can tangle easily and their skin can be on the sensitive side, which makes human shampoo a risky choice. People shampoos are made for human skin and can strip away the natural oils your Yorkie needs, leaving them dry, itchy, and flaky. It can also make that fine coat feel rough, limp, and more prone to knots.

For a cleaner, softer Yorkie that is easier to brush, use a dog-specific, pH-balanced shampoo and rinse thoroughly, then follow with conditioner to smooth and hydrate the coat. Give your Yorkie a routine made for dogs by shopping our dog shampoo and dog conditioner collections.
