Tips To Caring For Your Pomeranian, by Rosie Allan Platinum Quality Author

Having a Pomeranian can be fun, but you also need to be responsible. You need to make sure that once you own a Pomeranian you do whatever you can to make their life healthy and happy. Pomeranian health relies on your providing them with the right environment and companionship while also taking proper care of them. While this may be a lot of work to put into owning a Pomeranian the rewards you receive in return will outweigh anything you have to put into the partnership.

A Pomeranian is both courageous and makes a very loyal companion. If you train them to avoid excessive barking then they can make an excellent watchdog. They can be hard to house train, but because of their intelligence it can be very quick to train them. Often caring for a Pomeranian overlooks the need for proper training. However, you need to properly train a Pomeranian either yourself or by joining an obedience class.

Pomeranian health relies on your getting regular vet checkups. You should take your Pomeranian into the vet for a yearly check up and make sure all their vaccinations are kept up to date. Schedule a vet appointment right away anytime you notice anything different in your Pomeranian's behavior. Most Pomeranians will hide the fact that they don't feel good and even a small change in their behavior can be the sign of something far more serious.

Grooming is another important part of keeping your Pomeranian looking its best and staying in good health. The overall happiness and health of your Pomeranian will depend on you keeping the ears clean, the fur brushed and the nails trimmed. The most important grooming task for a Pomeranian is proper dental care. Bacteria can build up if you don't regularly brush your dog's teeth and serious health problems can result. So brush at least a couple of times a week and get a dental check up every year.

Providing your dog with a safe environment so that unfortunate accident don't happen at home it a key to Pomeranian health, especially if you have a puppy. Before bringing a puppy into your home be sure to walk around and make sure there are no unsafe places. Pick up any small objects that you dog can ingest and place them somewhere the dog can't reach. If you have kids be sure to monitor them so that the door isn't left open when they run in and out. Also make sure your guests know not to leave doors open so your dog can escape. It is a good idea to avoid giving a Pomeranian table scraps since it can harm them, especially in the case of chocolate, which can be lethal.

Remember that when you get a Pomeranian you are making a commitment to provide them with a lifetime that is supposed to healthy and happy. A Pomeranian has a lot more rewards than risks, but you should still carefully consider the commitment that is involved in taking care of a new pet.
