The Yorkshire Terrier is a small breed, so for their health and safety, they need to have the appropriate bed. These beds should be either of a small or medium-size and nothing more. And because of their size, a bed should not be too tall, as they may fall and injure themselves should they jump.
Comfort
Just like humans, your Yorkie likes nothing more than being comfortable, particularly when trying to sleep. So choosing a bed that is comfortable for them is essential for their well-being.
Puppies and older Yorkies have slightly different needs when it comes to choosing a bed. A puppy will still have strong feelings for its mother, so to reduce separation anxiety and for them to feel safe, a bed must be small, super cosy, and durable. Some older Yorkies tend to have medical needs such as arthritis or suffer from joint pain, so an Orthopedic bed should be used.
Ease of cleaning
A bed that can be easily maintained will benefit you and your Yorkie. If your Yorkie is unwell and you are required to clean the bed, it would be beneficial if it is machine washable rather than a bed that can only be wiped clean. So be sure to read the product description if this is something that you require.
