Owning a Pomeranian

These tips can help you keep your Pomeranian happy and healthy: Take care on hot days. Pomeranians can be very sensitive to heat, so limit time outside when the temperature is soaring and look for signs of heatstroke, such as panting, a bright red tongue, or pale gums. Be careful in the cold too. Although they have a thick coat, they can get cold easily and might resist going outside on bad weather days. It can be useful to paper train your Pomeranian for times like this. Offer them dog safe toys. These dogs are typically very active and love to bark. Giving them chew toys or treat-filled puzzle toys can help focus their energy and quiet them down. Make sure they exercise. Although they can get a good workout just by running around your home or apartment, you still need to make sure they are getting enough activity to stay healthy. Brush them daily. A daily brushing will help reduce shedding and keep that puffy fur in top shape. You should also bathe your dog occasionally with a mild dog shampoo and keep their nails trimmed. Clean their teeth. Be sure to brush your dog’s teeth regularly and take them for a professional cleaning and exam at your veterinarian’s office at least once a year. Your Pomeranian will also need regular check-ups and wellness care, such as vaccines, flea and heartworm prevention, and spaying/neutering. You can add preventive care coverage to an ASPCA Pet Health Insurance plan for a low additional cost to get reimbursed for those expenses. See your options.
