Caring for your Texas Royal Yorkie

Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)

Toy breeds can drop blood sugar quickly, especially when stressed, cold, or underfed.

• Watch for: lethargy, wobbliness, glassy eyes, weakness, seizures.
• Act fast: rub a little honey or Karo syrup on the gums; keep the puppy warm; call your vet.
• Prevent: free-choice dry kibble available; small frequent meals; never skip meals; limit long gaps overnight for very young pups.

Feeding schedule (first weeks)

• 8–12 weeks: 3–4 small meals daily of high-quality small-breed puppy food (same brand we send home when possible).
• Always provide fresh water.
• Transition foods gradually over 5–7 days if changing brands.
• Avoid table scraps, cooked bones, grapes, chocolate, xylitol, onions.

First days home

• Quiet first night; crate or playpen with soft bedding.
• Potty often (after sleep, play, meals).
• Limit stairs and rough play with children/other pets initially.
• Book your vet visit within 3 business days for the required health sign-off.

Grooming & health basics

• Brush regularly; schedule professional grooming as coat grows.
• Keep eyes clean; Yorkies can tear-stain.
• Continue vaccine series per your vet; we provide first vaccines at pickup.
• Never leave outdoors unsupervised; Yorkies are indoor companion dogs.
