How to Groom a Pomeranian From Home
Brush the dog's leg, chest, tail, back, head and neck hair upward. Brush the hair on his stomach downward and the hair on his sides outward. As soon as his coat has no tangles, brush his coat with a wide-tooth comb.
Bathe your Pom. You can do this in your sink, or in your bathtub if you choose. Run warm water and wet the coat with a pitcher or container of water. Use dog shampoo to clean the coat.
Towel-dry the dog and then use a hair dryer to complete the drying process. Put the dryer on a low setting to avoid burning the dog's skin.
Trim your dog by laying her on her side and cutting the hair between the pads of her feet. Next, cut her ears by holding them in your hands and trimming them close to the edge.
Clean your dog's teeth. You can use a child's toothbrush if you want, with some dog toothpaste. Brush your dog's teeth the same way that you brush your own. Offer your dog a small treat afterward so he will get used to the process.
Check your dog every day for any new bumps or lumps. If you find something that causes concern, immediately contact your vet.
