10 Things You Must Never Do to Your Pomeranian Dog

[@juju3911]

My Pom was the joy of my life. She passed on June 30, 2023, she was 17. I plan on getting another one, there are two in shelters that I'm currently inquiring about right now. Mine was more of the "throw back" kind, to the German Spitz family. She was larger and had more of a nose, perking up straight ears, longer hair-type tail, and what I loved mostly about her, is that her hair on her head, back, and tail were more like real hair, not fur. She still required grooming to get the undercoat, but the rest was much easier to groom. She still had that fluff around her chest, but even that was more hair-like. I miss her so badly, can't be replaced, but I can start again.

How to solve separation anxiety - get 2 small dogs - I have a Pom & a Chihuahua - they are wonderful happy friends & love playing together. I don’t own a Cage - they can go outside whenever they want - they have a bed in our bedroom & a bed on the lounge (with doggy stairs) ..,happy easy going little Dogs 💕

[@Jammy_McButzinuisance]

Train my pom? LOL! My pom trained me. I got her as a 7 yr. Old because my friends adopted and she hates kids and she would spend hours in my lap when I would visit. Never thought I would own a small dog but I'm glad I have her. So smart, and bossy she makes me stick to a schedule. People laugh when she barks at me when I'm late for bedtime her favorite time.

[@Jammy_McButzinuisance]

As for her jumping from things, I got her doggy stairs for the couch and bedroom but she hated them and refused to use them. Now she is 13 and she asked me to pick her up and to set her down. I am well trained.

[@wideawakerealist2141]

Same. Took on a 3 year old Pom, after his elderly owner died. He was never socialised, never groomed , panicked just seeing a collar and won’t let me brush him, but doesn’t grumble too much at having his rear end cleaned. Very moody too, his eyes change when he’s inexplicably in a bad mood , but gradually getting better and strongly bonding with me…but only tolerates anyone else reluctantly…and yet, he’s the most affectionate dog I’ve ever had, snuggles into me at every opportunity and a very alert watchdog too, barks a bit too much . Lol. Love him to bits.

@@wideawakerealist2141 from what I understand about poms I got lucky as she barks and growls under her breath just enough to get my attention when she thinks shenanigans are going on. You're right very alert dogs.

Thumbs up to your tips. My sister and I have been pomeranian owners for decades! So important for poms or any pet to go to routine vet visits, teeth cleaning, etc. Poms are very easy to train. Just give them a ton of love and praise for all their good behavior and they naturally repeat their good behavior. No yelling but a serious "no", removal from the bad and give them good behavior alternatives with big praise. I have had poms when they were puppies to adult poms I rescued from abusive environments. Even the abused snappy ones turn around with plenty of love and it doesn't take long. Poms definitely respond to love. At one point I had 3 poms. Two were rescue poms and one from a puppy. My sister had one. The four poms enjoyed hiking vacations with us. Yes, they love walks and trails so My sister and I do this almost daily with them. Also I have a big fenced in back yard where they all romp around together. I don't find poms hard to care for but of course they are my babies and my priority.

My first Pom Windy, was a rescue from a Puppy Mill. She had been almost been bred to death. She had Vet care grooming (shaving all her fur off because she was so matted). When her fur grew back she was beautiful and so very smart. I was a young working single lady and she was my best friend. We went everywhere together even to work meetings if they were after work. They knew I wouldn't come without her and they liked her too. I was a mess when she passed but a few months later a hairdresser I knew had an accidental breeding with her parents dog. Heidi is still with me today at 14 years. Can't really hear but it doesn't matter. She too is my best friend. I would've never thought I'd been lucky enough to have 2 Poms.

I have the best little Pom on Planet earth. She is smart, sweet, well behaved, lovable etc. Bella Rosa is a gift from God. She did get hurt, and I do not know when. She lost her left front leg. She had surgery to repair the damage to her shoulder. The vet sent her home with no pain meds., did not tell me I would need to crate her, and did not answer the emergency line all night. The crate was in the garage, for many years, and it took me hours to clean it. The fact that the emergency line was busy all night, meant they did major orthopedic surgery then abandoned her. Be careful who you take your precious dog to, since if I had read the reviews on this vet, she never would have gone there. She just turned 14, and I am so thankful I have her. I no longer let her sleep in bed with me, since she may have been injured jumping out of my bed. I am heart broken about her injury and how she was treated by a cold, uncaring vet.

I live in England and have fed my 5yo Sassy on since I got her at 12 weeks (and her breeder weaned the whole litter onto a similar raw food brand). It comes in 1-kilo (2.2 lb) bags of frozen cubes, 80% raw meat/fish and 20% fruit/veg. Many varieties: beef, lamb, rabbit, venison, chicken, salmon, goose, etc. The meat is fit for human consumption, not the usual low pet standard which comes from animals that are diseased or have tumours. The cubes make portions precise and easy to adjust to manage weight. The daily amount is based on the ideal weight for your individual dog, divided into 2 meals morning and night. Customer Service is happy to advise. Sassy likes to gnaw hers in the frozen state, taking them away from her dish one at a time. Raw food like this is supposed to be better for the teeth as well, containing no form of grain at all. Dogs drink less water from the bowl as the raw food contains a lot naturally. Maybe you have a similar product where you live.

After reading the posts here, I am going to have my chihuahua checked genetically. Her fur is thicker than normally most long haired chis and her character is totally different. She is DA big boss! Never had a chi like this which is why I am beginning to wonder if she might be a pomchi

[@Mr5lbtumor]

Mine was always scared to jump from anything even if it wasn't that high. I was super grateful because the one my mom got before I was born would jump off anything and developed hip problems once he got older. He was usually great about grooming, tolerated baths really well, nail clippings, and would just sit there and let me brush his teeth. He hated having his coat being brushed, but I'd always have to just tell him he HAD to be brushed because he was a Pomeranian. Lol. He was definitely spoiled though and had US trained and we catered to his every whim, but I didn't mind. I miss him, he was best boy.

[@susantate8406]

I had a cream pomeranian and he was the best, he followed me every room I went to, went shopping with me ect...he had jumped down off the couch ,even had his stairs right next to him, long story short had surgery on his knee ,after that months of me carrying him to ear, potty ect. Then when he was better he was back to normal, but then he ended up having pancreatitis bout all the time, broke my heart, think it was cause of the surgery and all the pretazone he had been on over the years. Anyway I Lost him at the age of 16 years and 7 months bad battle with pancreatitis that couldn't be resolved ect...He passed away on 6/13/22 ..Part of me died with him! I miss that furr-baby so much, My house is not a home without him, my heart is not whole without him 💔 Debating if it's too soon for another!!?? Or maybe I shouldn't get another pom for quite a while

[@sherylgalan4431]

I've had 3 Pomeranians. My first 2 didn't jump. But the one I have now loves to jump. He jumps from sofa to chair at home. On car rides he jumps from front seat to back all the time

@@susantate8406 I'm so so sorry for your huge loss, I hope you feel a lil bit better with time 🥺. Mine is almost 3yrs old and she's my everything, I'm terrified to lose her since I got her. I think about that often, if I would get one right away and then I say I don't want to go through a loss again. But I think you should get one if you feel ready to do so, won't take your pain away but definitely will help you in the process! Blessings to you and your family 🙏

[@Mr5lbtumor]

I have mixed feelings about getting another Pom or just another dog in general. Tbh even if you go through a reputable breeder, there's a good chance they'll end up with a lot of health issues. Mine passed from a brain tumor at 15. There was no specific cause other than it's common on small breeds, but there was also absolutely no cure and led to him having epilepsy that slowly got more and more severe to the point where we had to say goodbye. He also had the collapsing trachea issue that is very common with Poms. He was the best dog, and I wouldn't trade my time with him for anything in the world and I miss him every day, but the thought of going through that again just kills me. I'm not even sure that I could even get attached to another animal like I did with him, but then again it hasn't even been a year since I lost him and maybe it's just too soon for me. Even though he was technically my dog, the whole family absolutely adored him, and a couple family members who didn't even have dogs before actually got similar breeds from the Spitz family, because they missed him so much. I took him just about everywhere with me until he got too old.

[@leahrs52]

@@susantate8406 I had my pom from when he was a baby, I lost him on 21st January 2020-he was only 3 years old turning 4 that February. He had regular vet visits and he had no health issues, he was so healthy, always out on walks with me (not too long as poms are only small dogs), and had a good diet. He was exactly like yours, he followed me everywhere, he didn't like anyone in the household aside from me, haha! He was always shopping with me, slept with me, everything I did, he came with me. etc etc, the list goes on. Anyway, I never found out what happened to him. The day he died, he was his normal self, running around, barking for treats, cuddles etc, but it just cost too much money to find out what happened and I couldn't afford it, which is now my biggest regret. Like you said, apart of me has died with him, every day, and I mean everyday, I think of how much I miss him and how many things he has missed, which he would have loved if he was still here. I want another Pomeranian like nobody would understand, but I don't want to replace him and i'm in fear of buying another pom and it just be a completely different dog. I've never really understood the meaning of a dog being your best friend until I had mine, he well and truly was.

I had tasha as a pup.

We care for our Pom as if she is a baby , she gets the best of care and regular visits to the vet and monthly trips to groomer. We love in the mountains and have adequate space for Ruby to run and be active, she is simply our youngest child. Affection is never spared. I am likely very guilty of spoiling her.

[@CHOPPASLUGBM]

My Pomeranian just turned 1 year old and was diagnosed with luxating patella in one of his hind legs :( No surgery is needed but we have quite the time trying to keep him calm and relaxed. It seems to act up the most when he is playing hard or very excited with the zoomies. He is the love of our life!

[@kitkatkitah]

My male pom just had luxating patella surgery on both of his hind legs. It's tough, but he's been an absolute champ going through all of the steps for recovery. I wish your dog the best of luck not needing surgery!

[@CHOPPASLUGBM]

@@kitkatkitah So glad he is doing well with recovery! Can I ask you why the surgery was needed for your pom? Did his knee consistently get out of place on the regualr? My pom had one incident when he was a year old where he injured his knee pretty bad and it popped out of place. The vet reset the knee easily and he hasn't had any issues since. Im hoping he wont need surgery in the future but he is a little crazy ball of fur!

[@kitkatkitah]

Hey @@CHOPPASLUGBM My pomeranian acted like normal, running around and playing happily (before the surgery) and we noticed he wasn't putting as much weight on his left leg compared to his right leg. When we went to the vet we were told he had Grade 1 Luxating Patella (which is when it just pops out with manual pressure but generally it's within the grove). 1 month after this he had already jumped to a Grade 2, so he was laying down a bit more and we took him back to the vet, but they believed that he is doing okay and he didn't show any signs of painand because he wasn't hopping by putting his leg up in the air, he was generally okay. In November last year, we were told that it had developed to Luxating Patella 3 (first diagnosis in June, then August, and now November) and they said it is most likely best to operate now before it goes to Grade 4, as with grade 4 is when it cannot be manually placed back into the grove. Grade 3 is when it is permanently luxated, meaning it is always out of the groove and while it can still be placed in manually it would regularly keep popping out. In the timeframe between August and November, he started getting a habit of wanting to sit on the back of the sofa, we have no idea why he decided to do this, but he had no steps to the back, only steps to the actual seating area. We believe he injured himself by jumping up there. For the recovery he has been amazing, he had the surgery and came home on the same day, with 3 different courses of medication (one strong pain killer for 2 days after he came home, and the other 2 consisted of a lighter pain killer and antibiotics). He has to be ina very small fenced in area for 6 weeks since the operation as he isn't allowed to walk, on week 3 (so last week) we started physiotherapy with him (even though he is walking around his cage now acting as if he hasn't had the operation at all) which consists of massaging his back legs and having him set over some small cardboard boxes to help him get used to lifting and bending his joints. The physiotherapist believes that he will be in a much better place at the end of January and we'll be able to start walking him again then (as he isn't allowed to go on walks at the moment or be outside of his cage walking about, let alone run) For your Pomeranian, I would assume based on your description that he is only on Grade 1, if he was hopping then possibly Grade 2. I'd recommend just keeping an eye on him and ask your vet to just check when you go for the usual 6 month checkups with him. Here is a really good article that helped me understand a lot about the problem which may give you more insight as well: www.fitzpatrickreferrals.co.uk/orthopaedic/patellar-luxation/ I hope your Pom remains avoiding this surgery, but they are such excitable little dogs accidents can happen sometimes :D
