Quick Health Tips

Schedule regular check-ups. Adult Pomeranians should see the vet at least annually, seniors twice a year. Prevention is always easier than treatment.
Monitor weight closely. Even a pound or two can be significant on a small Pomeranian. Maintain a healthy weight to prevent joint and heart problems.
Watch for behavior changes. Sudden changes in activity, appetite, or personality can indicate health issues. Trust your instincts if something seems off.
Keep vaccinations current. Protect your Pom from preventable diseases with timely vaccinations. Discuss the right schedule with your vet.
Don't skip dental care. Dental disease can lead to serious health problems. Regular teeth cleaning is essential for Pomeranians.
