Health Fundamentals Every Owner Should Know

Weight matters more than you think. A few extra pounds on a tiny Pomeranian can lead to joint problems, heart issues, and a shorter lifespan. Keep them lean.
Dental disease is serious. Bad teeth aren't just cosmetic—bacteria from dental disease can damage your Pom's heart, kidneys, and liver. Brush their teeth regularly.
Trust your gut. You know your dog better than anyone. If something feels off, it probably is. Don't wait to call the vet.
Preventive care saves money. Regular check-ups and early detection cost way less than treating advanced disease. Think of vet visits as insurance.
Small dogs, big vulnerabilities. Pomeranians are fragile. They're more susceptible to injury, temperature extremes, and certain health conditions than bigger breeds.
Genetics play a huge role. Many Pomeranian health issues are inherited. Knowing your dog's background helps you stay ahead of potential problems.
