A trim body and a thick coat come down to four things: an airy kennel, measured meals, consistent nutritional support and regular brushing. That is how we raise our breeding dogs too, because the coat shows a dog’s health more clearly than anything else.

How airy does a Pomeranian’s kennel need to be?

The kennel should be airy, dry and clean, with sunlight and a breeze. Air conditioning helps but is not required, as long as the space never gets stuffy or hot and humid.

In Ho Chi Minh City, a hot and humid tropical city, moisture is the thing we watch most closely. A Pom has a dense coat, and moisture that stays trapped in it for long makes your dog uncomfortable and visibly dulls the coat.

Our dogs live in stainless steel playpens and multi-tier cages. Trays under the cages make daily cleaning quick, and fans hang on the walls. Stainless steel wipes clean easily, so the kennel smells less and gives mold less room to settle.

How should an adult Pomeranian eat to keep a trim figure?

We consider a Pom an adult from 8 months old. From that point, kibble stays the main part of the diet, and fresh food makes up only a small portion.

Dogs under 6 months eat two meals a day and kibble only. After 6 months, your puppy can move to one meal a day and more kibble. We give you the exact amount for each meal when you bring your puppy home, because every dog has a different weight and body condition.

A puppy with a sensitive stomach should get fresh food that is fully cooked. Never force raw food on it. When we prepare meals, we measure the kibble into a separate bowl for each dog, so we know exactly how much each one eats.

Which supplements help a Pomeranian’s coat grow thick?

Some of our dogs developed skin infections at one point, and we had to shave their coats very close for treatment. Afterward we added biotin and Antinol, a supplement that supports coat, skin and joints. Combined with care, the coat grew back thick and beautiful, just as before.

A skin infection needs a veterinarian to find the cause and treat it. Supplements only help the coat grow back and cannot replace an exam.

For our breeding males, we spray biotin onto their kibble and give a daily capsule. The whole kennel also gets a multivitamin in soft chews, broken into small pieces and mixed into the kibble, starting when the dogs are young and continuing into adulthood, along with calcium for a strong skeleton. Stud dogs also follow a sensible breeding schedule and rest schedule to keep their stamina.

Ask your veterinarian which products and amounts are right before you give any supplement to your Pom, especially calcium for puppies, because too much is not good either.

How often should a Pomeranian be brushed and spa-bathed?

A Pom with a moderate coat gets a bath once a week. We take Poms with a thick, long coat to the spa twice a week for a bath and brushing.

Brushing is the main task. Use a pin brush to work deep into the coat, and pull out large clumps of dead hair each time.

Once the dead hair comes out, the skin breathes better, new hair grows faster from the follicles, and the coat does not mat.

Brushing every day keeps the coat looking good, so trimming is not always necessary. After a bath, dry the coat all the way down to the undercoat next to the skin, especially on humid days.

Why should a Pomeranian never be overweight?

An overweight Pom is more likely to develop a narrowed trachea, puts extra strain on the heart, and its joints wear out early. A beautiful Pom comes from good genetics plus proper, sufficient care. If either one is missing, both the figure and the coat decline.

If your dog has a dry cough that lasts, or wheezes, see a veterinarian early. If your dog struggles to breathe, has a bluish tongue, or breathes with its mouth open, go to a vet right away. Do not wait.
