Pomeranian Care

Along with all this cuteness and fluff, however, go some special grooming needs. While not excessively demanding, the Pomeranian does require some daily attention which you can use as a great excuse to bond with your pet!

Teeth

It is important that your pet get good dental care. Pomeranians are prone to tooth loss and bacteria build up. If the bacteria is allowed to run unchecked, this can cause problems with your pets overall health. Luckily, maintaining good dental health is easy! Simply buy an enzymatic toothpaste that fights bacteria (your vet can recommend a good brand) and a small tooth brush (I use the one that has a loop that fits on my finger). Try to brush your dogs teeth every day. Have your vet do a dental exam once a year and scaling if necessary.

Fur

Brushing your Pomeranian every day is a good way to bond with your pet as well as insure his coat is healthy and looks good. Poms have a double coat that can easily become matted so brushing is necessary. A once a week = or every couple of weeks = bath is a nice way to keep your Pom smelling and looking good! Don't forget to groom around his paws and tail area as well as clip his nails.

Eyes

Like most small dogs, Poms can have a buildup of discharge from their eyes that can cause a lumpy mess. This buildup can stain the fur and, although my Pom's never said anything, I'm sure it must be uncomfortable. To avoid this mess, simply clean the eye area each day with a Q-tip. Be sure not to get too close to the eye as you don't want to accidentally poke your pet in the eye!

Pomeranian Dry Skin

I have adopted a 9/10 year old male Pom. He's wonderful, but has very dry skin and is scratching all the time. He also chews on his toes. What can I do about the dry skin and the toe chewing??

RE: Pomeranian Care

Thank you for the great tips! We just got a Pomeranian last weekend and we were cleaning his face, but not as regularly as we do it now on a daily basis. The teeth car instructions were very helpful as well. We now know what to do.

RE: Pomeranian Care

What if there's no one at home during 8am-5pm, is it okay to leave the Pomeranian alone in the house? Would this cause any problem?
