Preparing Your Marietta Home for a Yorkshire Terrier
Cobb County is a wonderful place to be a dog owner. Here’s how to get ready:
-
Safety First: Secure your yard and pool area. Yorkies are tiny and can be adventurous. Beautiful parks like Laurel Park are perfect for walks, but a secure harness and leash are a must.
-
Weather Considerations: Georgia summers are hot. Walk your dog during cooler parts of the day to protect their paws from hot pavement. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) provides excellent hot weather safety advice for pets.
-
Local Resources: We are happy to recommend excellent local veterinarians and groomers in the Marietta area who are familiar with the Yorkie breed.
