Day 3 of Vroom Grooms’ Coat Type Countdown!

All week long, we’re spotlighting one breed from each coat type—breaking down the grooming needs, shedding truths, and what pet parents should really know before falling in love. Today’s silky superstar? The bold, beautiful Yorkshire Terrier.

Silky Coat – Breed: Yorkshire Terrier

✨ Pros:

• Elegant, flowing coat that can be styled in endless ways.
• Small size makes them great for apartment living and travel.
• Bold personality—these little dogs think they’re ten feet tall!

⚠️ Cons:

• Despite popular claims, no dog is truly hypoallergenic.
  Allergies are triggered by skin cells, saliva, and urine—and all animals produce them. Yorkies may shed less visibly, but they still shed through the natural hair cycle:
  Anagen → Catagen → Telogen → New Anagen.
  That means all dogs shed, even if it’s subtle.
• Their silky coat requires daily brushing to prevent tangles and breakage.
• Prone to dental issues, luxating patella, and fragile bones.
• Needs gentle handling and consistent grooming to stay healthy and happy.

🧠 Pro Tip from Vroom Grooms LLC:
Brushing isn’t just about beauty—it’s bonding.
Daily brushing helps spread natural oils, stimulates healthy hair growth, and teaches your Yorkie that grooming is safe, soothing, and part of their routine.
