I’m unsure of the allergies your (very cute) little guy has, but this has gotten my little one rid of most of his sneezing and some scratching.

Get a belly band for make dogs! It’s like a little diaper. He might not stop trying but it could certainly help with the mess.
This is the one I got. Black collar, purple lettering (to match her lead!) https://www.amazon.com/Taglory-Personalized-Embroidered-Reflective-Adjustable/dp/B09WHDS9K9/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=personalised+dog+collars&qid=1667903669&sr=8-6
I give my Daisy this brand (Instinct Raw)
Best food we’ve ever given her. Her poop is regular, she never throws up anymore and she LOVES IT.
We’re also able to manage her weight easily on it.
The only major downside is it’s a little pricey and you have to defrost it before your pupper can eat it.
I noticed chicken is on your list. I feed mines the chicken version. She’s had the beef too.
The lamb made her throw up like crazy so we cut that one out.
Good luck with your baby!
I have a tiny yorkie and live in south Florida. Lots of hawks down here just waiting for the chance . We bought these silver shiny strips of very thin reflective tape and it really works. You just hang them all around your property. The hawks hate it and actually squawk when they’re flying over at times. Here’s the link https://www.amazon.com/SPECIAL-OFFER-Repellent-Daytime-Predators/dp/B00MTN6J4M/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl1&tag=k9ofmine-20&linkId=cac270bc416fadbb239ca5c121045de8&language=en_US
I use this for my dog. I tried baby toothbrush but it was too big. This one is perfect her her tiny mouth.
I use a nail grinder instead, something like this. And I started very, very slowly--letting her sniff it, turning it on and giving her a treat once she hears the sound, giving her treats for just letting me touch her feet, etc.
She's gone from completely impossible to reasonable. I'll only trim her nails when she's very calm and sleepy. And we only do a couple of nails at a time. Just a little bit every day is a better way to go with dogs who are nervous about grooming, I think. Imagine if YOU didn't wash or comb your hair or trim your nails for a month and then someone tried to clean you up all at once!
Using a tiny trimmer on his foot hair is also a good way to get them used to machines near the feet. And for my girl, keeping the paw hair trimmed also really cuts down on slipping and sliding.
These are them, quite expensive, but worth it. If you can get them prescribed by your vet it will be much cheaper, I believe I paid $30.
Yeah PB is completely fine. You don’t need a lot so don’t worry about it.
My Yorkie has had a sensitive stomach since I got her at 8 months old, she’s almost 9 now and I find that this stuff works on bad days
PetExx Stomach Settler,... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08RWZCQ29?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
We lost our Yorkie a couple years ago due to that problem. He had it his whole life, but it just got worse and worse. At eight years old it got so bad we had to put him down.
A few things we found that helped:
If he is overweight at all, get him down to fighting trim ASAP. Extra weight exacerbates the problem.
It is imperative to keep him cool, because when they start panting with that condition they can really start to spiral downward. They start to honk more and more and just start to panic.
Whenever we took him somewhere, we had a "cool shirt" already dampened and inside a plastic bag, ready to put on if he started to pant. These shirts are incredible and with such small dogs it cools them off instantly.
Something like this:
We spent thousands taking ours to a university vet clinic to see what could be done. With some Yorkies surgery can significantly help the problem, but with ours the collapse went so far down toward his lungs there was nothing that could be done. I imagine you have probably already consulted vets and know what if any options you have as far as that.
The cool shirt was the one thing we found that immensely helped, and probably gave him at least one or two additional comfortable years. It would stop his honking/panting fits the moment we put it on. I stress this because the vet never even suggested it.
I'm very sorry for you and your pup. It is a horrible problem that unfortunately Yorkies are prone to.
This was our first time trying it out and unfortunately he was a bit too small, and I got the xtra-small! I think they sell a booster block so I will probably purchase that to see if that helps. He is supposed to be positioned facing your back with his paws on your shoulders and there are holes that his arms are supposed to go through but as you can see, he kept turning himself to the side so we had to keep checking on him.
Otherwise, it is cute lol. My pup is 13 yrs old, turning 14 next month so it definitely fits our needs in wanting to include him in our outdoor adventures without having to worry about whether he can keep up physically. Here’s a link in case you’re interested!

He chases it, retrieves it, plays tugowar with it, chews it. Have had to replace it. Can't live without it. Lol.
I got it at the local pet store. But you can buy it here on Chewy
It’s reverse sneezing. We needed an education on the difference. Occasionally… when she gets super-excited, she’ll start honking. We’ll stop whatever it is we’re doing and let her work through it. The straining is concerning to us but she gets past it and then she’s fine; barks hard, plays hard and is still the best dog ever. YT vids can help out on recognizing the difference. Yorkies are highly prone to trachea collapse so it’s still something we need to spot. I read about supplements that reduce inflammation for dogs suffering from hip and joint issues that also seem to benefit dogs with TC so that’s something to look into.

He absolutely loved it too and ate the entire thing.
He was so quiet for about an hour and it was such a great treat to give him because hardly anything makes a Yorkie be quiet LOL.
Mine loves these the best and they seem super safe. I actually toss out the fatty marrow part so he doesn’t get as much fat, but he still just absolutely loves chewing on it and getting all the little crust on the outside off of it.

I can’t seem to find them on Amazon atm, but my pup’s favorite toy is a little crinkle chicken drumstick. His breeder sent him with one, and it’s still his go to. He’s seven months now.
This little puzzle toy is another favorite. There are three avocados. I think one of em squeaks—the other two crinkle. The puzzle aspect is nice, and my yorkie would go nuts when I stuck treats inside the burrito.
So my yorkie adores puzzle toys outward hound ones are her favorite. Also, I highly recommended chase ‘n chomp balls for any dog that likes balls, we’ve never had one destroyed even by our most destructive dogs, though they do have a squeaker but they are pretty easy to remove
This is my yorkie’s favourite toy. I think she loves the shape and it fits nicely in her mouth. It squeaks though. She has 5 of these lol. Gotta have duplicates of her favourite toy!

Amazon, I get all my dog clothes there haha My 6 lbs pup in the picture has on size 3 but I think they're a little bit big. I have to pull the Velcro strap really tight. I'm going to order her some size 2.
They're decent little snow boots, but they're best when it's below 33 degrees. They are not waterproof at all. If it's wet out, her paws get really wet in the boot. They've been great on winter walks on the snow in Alaska.

So in the past I’ve just pulled the felt off (works best if you heat it a bit with a blow dryer). But these are called chase ‘n chomp, I have yet to have one destroyed (even when I’ve brought them to my parents house and their German Shepherd got ahold of them). They are the favorite in my house, especially over the Kong tennis balls which reigned supreme for years.
My Yorkies love these Chuckit balls. We started with size small, but now we use medium. We have about 6 of them that we throw around in our backyard for them in the spring and summer.
I use Nutro kibble for my Yorkies. None of them are senior, but Nutro does offer several “small bites” ones. Here is a senior one.

Ours likes this stuff
Our non-Yorkie is the one with stomach issues. We add this probiotic and she has been doing fine.
I recently found more jackets that covers the belly part! And it’s thicker in material. There are more styles, but the sizing fits my little guy perfectly.
Ps. We get the xs
You need this, it's the best!
My Yorkie loveeeesss it. It has like a rubber squeaker in it that doesn't seem to last or at least my human ear isn't hearing any squeaking. But when she chews it there's still a noise from air blowing through it and my dogs seem to enjoy that just as much as squeaks.
Ive read some reviews that complain about the ball no longer squeaking but I love to find a broken squeak toy that still makes an air blowing noise w/o a squeak haha. They maintain my sanity. I actually squeeze the balls at the store and if I find one that doesn't squeak I buy it, my dog is just as enthusiastic with em.

I have a Shorkie and finally gave in and got grooming gloves from chewy. He seems to manage better.
I recommend the regular steel comb for normal brushing, and the dematting comb for matted hair
It helps if you have two people. I hold our pup and scratch his ears and places he likes while my wife sits on the floor and brushes his teeth. This helps a lot since I can help hold him still and gently pull his lips down to access lower teeth.
We also started with gauze on a finger, since he's much more comfortable with our hands. Once he was fine with gauze we graduated to this tiny toothbrush, and now he has zero issues with teeth brushing.
We went through the same thing with our baby and the only thing that ended up working was this prescription kibble and now she has zero issues.
We use the John Paul Lavender Dog Shampoo and the matching Oatmeal Conditioner our boys love it. We’ve been using it for years on them. We usually buy it at Petco.
My yorkie does the same thing. I end up putting most of her food on a folded up piece of paper towel. I did finally find that a silicone bowl ( I got this one) is the least offensive to her, but even that bothers her sometimes.
A Yorkie would be so perfect for you and your family! They love people so much.
One useful thing I taught my Yorkie is to use her bell when she needs to go outside. It’s basically a bell on a string hanging on your doorknob. Like this one https://www.amazon.ca/Doorbells-Premium-Quality-Training-Adjustable/dp/B089R6BJ1W/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=bell+door+dog&qid=1634778216&sr=8-4
I found the bell very useful when there are lots of people at my house and We get too distracted to remember her potty schedule.
Congratulations! They are the best!
Socialize your puppy. I made the mistake of not doing this well and now she doesn’t like new things, people, pets, places 😕.
Pet insurance as soon as you get the puppy before you discover any issues with the puppy. Luxating Patella is common for them so that insurance alone can save you thousands in the future.
Get a bell for the door that your dog can reach. I taught my dog how to let me know that she wants to go outside. Downside is she does it a lot in the summer time when she wants to sunbathe outside lol. The use of the bell has now evolved for her… she uses it to tell me she needs attention like playtime, food on counter, etc.
They’re picky eaters. I have grated Parmesan cheese handy in the fridge when she’s not interested in eating her food. I also keep a can of wet food she loves just in case she gets sick of cheese too.
If it’s safe in your neighbourhood, walk them. My 6 lb Yorkie enjoys the outdoors. We go on long walks. We used to walk just 3km a day but now she walks more. They love to smell things. Also walking helped with her sleep (and mine) and she rarely shows destructive behaviour from boredom.
For potty training, teach them to pee and poop in command. Really useful when you travel or need a sample for the vet. Lots of videos on YouTube!
My dog’s favourite toy and we play fetch with this too https://www.amazon.ca/Aspen-Pet-07528-Medium-Carrot/dp/B000RIBC1G/ref=mp_s_a_1_12?dchild=1&keywords=carrot+dog+toy&qid=1634777309&sr=8-12

I use Nature’s Bounty, 3mg melatonin, if your baby is under 6 pounds, cut one gummy in half. Mine is 7 pounds and I give her one gummy, and works wonders. And btw my yorkie loves it so much that I have to be careful when taking the gummies because if it up to her she would eat them all.

My girl is smart, sassy, stubborn, and we have an amazing bond. She genuinely is my best friend. I never planned to have a dog, but she wriggled her way into my heart when she was 3 weeks old. I fell in love when I saw her determination and curiosity. She doesn’t like the cute hair ties and clips I’ve tried to put on her, and she hates her winter sweater but has accepted it as a necessary evil. She understands so many words and phrases. I’m amazed at how much she has picked up without me teaching her. She loves learning tricks and doing puzzles like this one.
Fetch was hard with my little guy. He was really good at the "chasing after it" part and not very good at the "bringing it back" part. What worked for me was getting these: Chuckit Breathe Right Balls. If you have a Petsmart locally, they should have them for cheaper than that Amazon listing.
Anyway, there are a few reasons they worked well for me. One, my little guy is a bigtime chewer. Because these are hollow and not solid balls, he can chew them a little bit after retrieving, which makes him very happy. Two, those balls are light enough to use in the house. Being inside while learning was good for getting his attention back to me after retrieving it. I could get him to come back more easily. Three, even outside these balls don't fly very far. He doesn't get so far away that he gets distracted, which is what was happening when we first tried fetch outside. I would throw a ball, he would chase it down, and then he would get distracted by a particularly tasty patch of grass.
So now when I do want to run him outside, I'll start with our "indoor" ball first so that he knows what pattern to follow: chase it, grab it, come back. Then once he's reliably in that mode, I'll switch to a ball that flies and rolls better so he can run farther.
Amazon. There was a coupon on vipon.
The medium fits at about 7 lbs, the large will fit probably up to 11 lbs.

The tangles are pretty typical, especially if they haven't been routinely brushed or groomed. I keep my dog in a "puppy cut" so we don't have to deal with it as much. We actually had to buy this for one of our cats who developed some bad mats and it worked extraordinarily well. Just remember to gently tug in small movements.
I use this one. It is amazing! I've had it for over a year. It's even airline approved if you need to fly with your dog. My 8 lb Yorkie loves it, he gets so excited if I even touch it.
A few ways can prevent hypoglycemia:
If you are with the dog all the time... Play with him in short intervals... As much as we want to play with our new puppies... Make sure don't overwork them.
Feed it multiple times can help solve this problem.
After your dog has been playing for a long while or been away from food source for a prolong of time... You can give him a tiny bit of nitri-cal supplement gel before putting him back to the playpen.
Something like this. You can pick this up at any petstore.

Never had a problem with hypoglycemia fortunately
Hope this helps.
