Signs Your Pomeranian is Getting Older

Slowing down. Less enthusiasm for walks, more naps, and hesitation on stairs. They're not being difficult—their joints hurt and they tire more easily.
Vision and hearing changes. Not responding when you call, bumping into things, or seeming confused. Sensory decline is common in older dogs.
Graying fur. White hairs around the muzzle and face are normal. Some Poms go gray as early as 6 or 7 years old.
More frequent bathroom trips. Older dogs have less bladder control. Accidents in the house don't mean they forgot their training—their body just can't hold it as long.
Weight changes. Senior Poms often gain weight because they're less active, or lose weight if they have health issues. Either way, it needs attention.
Behavioral shifts. Confusion, anxiety, sleeping more during the day, or pacing at night can all signal cognitive decline similar to dementia in humans.
