We have Yorkshire terriers. Anyone use it on their Yorkie and what did you experience?

I do not have Yorkies and I rarely write negative reviews about products but this product is not only ineffective , it according to my veternarian is dangerous. Neither one of my dogs had fleas when I started this flea preventitive as I had used a preventitive from the vet. We live in the country and neighbor cats like to hang out with our dogs. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats and found this at Sam's. It seemed like a good product so I thought I would give it a try (when you have as many animals as I do you look for ways to save on their care). Within 2 weeks of using this product both dogs got fleas. My aussie mix is allergic to fleas ( so in hindsight deciding to cut corners with flea preventitive was not wise) and not only did I have a flea problem , I had to treat his allergic reaction. This product can not be used on cats so I continued to use the old stuff on my cats. My cats did not get fleas. This stuff is junk and I would not pay a nickel for it.

No, sorry. I will say that when I used it, it left a sticky residue that lasted for over a week....and it didn't seem to repel anything.

Unfortunately the smallest dogs I have are from 15-20lbs. And they are Corgi's Jack Russells.

I have a Yorkie and I use it all the time even when I'm going to the vet. She doesn't seem to be hot or uncomfortable.

We have an 8 lb yorkiepoo and it has been wonderful. I was telling everyone how amazed I was with the quality. I would highly recommend it. No complaints.

Lisa, The small should be able to work for your Yorkie as it is recommended for pets weighing 5-25 lbs.

My one Yorkie is about 7 lbs and he does well in it. I did not find it to be unsafe and he is a puppy mill survivor scared of everything.

I have a 7 lb. yorkie. I got him a small and it's way too tight for him. Extra small will be too small. A small will probably fit just right.

This is gonna be either a hit or miss. I started to use it on my dog when he was 1 years old and he hated walking with something around his nose. He kept stopping while walking to try and take it off to the point that I couldn't walk to the corner with him. Granted, he was a 60 lbs dog at the time and try to pull a 60 lbs dog around isn't easy when your training him on a new leash. I think that you'll have an easier time training your 7 lbs Yorkie. But just a forewarning... If they don't like to have anything around their face, you will struggle a bit.

We purchased this for our Yorkie. He weighs about 7 lbs and it works great on him!

I do think it will be too heavy for a Yorkie. I would go on line for perimeter fencing for tiny dogs. Also, call the company and they would be able to tell you if there is a product for your little bitty.

It barely fits my ferret (granted he is a bit fat). I don't think it would be large enough for a yorkie.

I think it should work for your tiny Yorkie. My old Chinese Crested is 6 1/2 lbs., and as long as you keep a hand on the dog, to keep it from leaping out of the sling bag it should work. You can also put a fleece blanket in the bottom of it if you find it too roomy.

I'd get the smallest size - I think that they're all the same height so the yorkie should be able see out, will have plenty of curl up room and will feel snug without being cramped. We had that size for our 12 pound chiauhua mix and it work well. We bought the medium for our 16 lb rat terrier and it is right for him, but with room for 5 or so more pounds of dog.

I got my 5lb Yorkie a small, but my 16lb Cairn cannot wear the medium, it was too big for him and the small was too small. I made him one myself. There is a little bit of "give" in the Small. You could try that on a 10# and if it doesn't fit send it back.

It's not worth it anyways. I bought one. My dog got it off his collar the next day. He wouldn't stay still enough to let me scan the tag either to see if it worked. In your case, Sherry, I think it would be to big for a Yorkie unless the tags came in different sizes and I didn't know it.

If possible, go to a large chain pet store and try the small on your Yorkie. If no store around you carries them, order an extra-small & a small and return the one that does not fit. Follow the directions for the fit.

I have an 8 pound yorkie she tolerate s it fine but under 4 pounds I'd say no. I'm pretty sure the actual ad tells you the smallest s weight size. You'll be hard pressed to find something to fit your dog. They tend to have collapsing tracheas when they're that tiny I'd be very careful.
