Accessories to Keep Your Yorkshire Terrier Safe

One of the main responsibilities for an owner of a Yorkshire terrier is to keep it safe. With their small size this isn’t always an easy feat to accomplish.

Yet you need to make it a priority because failure to do so can result in your Yorkshire terrier being hurt or even killed. That isn’t a fate any owner would like to see in their future.

There are many Yorkie accessories out there that can help you to keep your beloved pet safe though. Some of them can be purchased at pet stores or Yorkie rescue shelters.

Others can only be found online but there is quite a huge selection there. More than you will find at any retail store so make sure you take some time to surf the net to find out what is offered.

The more Yorkshire terrier information you have the better you will be able to select these accessories for safety as well. If you have any questions about what is offered contact the seller.

Make sure you evaluate the return policies as well. That way if you find an accessory you purchased for your Yorkshire terrier to be defective or not a good fit you can return it for your money back.

It isn’t always going to be safe or practical to allow your Yorkshire terrier to roam freely around the house. This is why you should have a kennel for it to spend some time in. They come in a variety of sizes, colors, and designs.

Some of them are made from wood, heavy fabric, or plastic. It all depends on the level of comfort you wish to offer and the style you want. They vary significantly in price so that may be a factor for you as well.

The kennel you select for your Yorkshire terrier should be roomy enough for them to turn around in. You may wish to place a food and water dish in there as well.

Don’t place them in a huge kennel though thinking you are doing them a favor. Instead you will only increase their level of anxiety due to the open space around them in there.

Check the reviews for the kennel as well for safety issues. You need to make sure your Yorkshire terrier can’t get out of it without your assistance.

You also want to make sure it offers plenty of ventilation for them to be comfortable in there. If you are on the go often a portable Yorkie kennel is perfect.

A collar that is a good fit is important for your Yorkshire terrier to wear as well. It is best to have one that lights up at night just in case your dog gets lost in the dark.

You should have a tag with your name, address, and phone number on it as well. This way if your Yorkshire terrier does escape someone can return it to you.

You may think they concept of Yorkie car seats is silly but they have proven to protect them in accidents. They feature a harness that secures your Yorkshire terrier in place while in the care.

Many of them even feature food and water trays so your dog will have everything it needs to remain comfortable while traveling with you.
