Preparing Your Alpharetta Home for a Yorkie
Living in North Fulton is great for dogs! Here’s how to prepare:
-
Yorkshire-Proofing: Secure your yard and pool area. Yorkies are small and curious. Parks like Wills Park are fantastic, but always keep your dog on a leash or in a secure harness.
-
Heat Awareness: Alpharetta summers are warm. Avoid walks on hot asphalt; early mornings or evenings at the Boardwalk at Halcyon are better. The American Kennel Club (AKC) offers excellent hot weather safety tips for dogs.
-
Find Local Partners: We can recommend fantastic local vets and groomers who are experienced with the Yorkshire Terrier breed.
