How often do I bathe and brush my Pom-and with what?
A.-The Pom has dry skin and coat-and requires bathing approximately every other month-according to their lifestyle. You can bathe as frequently as every week-but take special care to use only shampoos that do not dry the skin and coat. Protein and lanolin shampoos are ideal for the frequently bathed dogs. Use baby powder in between bathings for a fresh dry cleaning that keeps them sweet-smelling. Make sure not to get the powder in the Pom’s nose. Brush with a pin brush and slicker brush and detangling or two-level moulting comb thoroughly at least once per week-for example- while watching television. Keep the tools handy near your chair or sofa. Pomeranians are considered a “medium” maintenance breed for a long-coated breed. They do not have the tendency to “mat or tangle” such as the breeds-Shih Tzu, Lhasa Apso, Maltese or Havanese. Those breeds are considered “high-maintenance” breeds due to the coat care.
