A balanced diet is essential for your Pomeranian's health. Small breeds have fast metabolisms and may need more calories per pound than larger dogs.
Regular exercise is important for your Pomeranian's physical and mental health. Even though they are small, they still need daily walks and playtime.
Pomeranians may be prone to certain health issues. Small breeds often face dental issues, patellar luxation, and tracheal collapse. Regular veterinary check-ups are essential.
Training is important for your Pomeranian. Small breeds can be stubborn, but respond well to positive reinforcement and consistency.
