“WHERE THERE IS HAIR, THERE IS JOY” (OR THE HAIRCUT IN THE POMERANIAN)

It’s been a while since we last posted on the blog, to be exact since last December when we told you about our getaway in La Gomera island. Click here to read that post if you missed it:

But we have decided to write in the blog only about those topics that require a more detailed and in-depth explanation, leaving more trivial topics and Colette’s daily life for our more dynamic posts on our Instagram account @pompomdog.

Without wanting to go into great explanations, with the main title of this publication, which originally refers to an expression from Spanish proverbs, from Pompomdog we wanted to extrapolate it and apply it to the subject of the Pomeranian’s coat and haircut. (more…)

“POMERALIA EXPRESS” OR HOW TO KNOW WHETHER YOUR DOG IS A “POMERANIAN IMITATION” OR NOT

In the pedigree dog world, and very especially in the case of Pomeranians, because it is a very desirable and expensive breed, there is a lot of trickery by people selling dogs that are not Pomeranian, or crossbreedings in which only one of the two parents is Pomeranian, thus taking advantage of the naïveté and money of their buyers.

Since the beginning of Pompomdog’s blog, one of the questions you have ask us the most through our Facebook and our Instagram has been, without a doubt, is if the dog you want to buy or that has just arrived at your home is a purebred Pomeranian or a “Pomeranian toy”, sending us photos of them so that we can confirm it.

ECO-KIT TO WALK WITH YOUR DOG

Since this year on September 21th, 2019, “Peace Day” was dedicated to “Climate Action for Peace”. Two days later, the “Climate Action Summit” of the UN took place. and, above all, in the wake of the “World Climate Strike” on 27-S, the news about the disastrous effects that climate change will have on our lives and our planet does not stop happening.

We would not want this fight to be a fad, and I am sure that if Colette could make her own decisions as a consumer, she would want to do her bit. That is why, in this new publication of PomPomDog we show you what are the products that are part of what we have called “eco-kit”: sustainable products for the environment to walk with your dog.

SEPARATION ANXIETY IN POMERANIAN DOGS (I) – TIPS

Because of its small size, because of our way of treating them/pampering them, Pomeranians have a tendency to suffer separation anxiety, which causes them a state of anguish, stress and depression, moments before their human leaves and while they remain alone at home.

If your dog suffers it, these reactions will not be unknown for you, but just in case we indicate that this anxiety is manifested in behavioral problems such as: (more…)

VACCINATION IN POMERANIAN DOGS (I)

EXPLANATORY NOTE! This kind of posts regarding health and nutrition, which you will find in Pom Pom Dog, are written after having consulted several specialized texts and read different opinions. That is the reason why in case of doubt or problem, ask ALWAYS your veterinarian.

Taking advantage of the fact that we took Colette to the veterinarian to be vaccinated today, we find interesting to explain you in a simple way, through a practical vaccinations calendar, in which moment you have to get your Pomeranian vaccinated, as well as tell you which are the adverse reactions in their little bodies to these vaccines. This information will be especially useful to those who have puppies or who will have them soon in your homes, and for those who already have adult Pomeranians, it never hurts to remember it.

HOW CAN I IMPROVE MY POMERANIAN’S DIET?

Lately we have attended with Colette a series of informative talks organized by Espacio Animal, a shop specialized in natural therapies and positive education located in Madrid, Spain. These talks, besides being useful to keep increasing our knowledge, are for charity, since the money collected goes to an animal protection association.

In one of these talks, the expert in veterinary nutrition and dietetics Mónica González Tovar analyzed the different kind of food and proposed us practical suggestions to improve our pets’ diet, no matter what diet we are following, dry, wet, dehydrated or raw. (more…)

‘DOGGY ICE-CREAMS’ FOR THE SUMMER HEAT

One of the best ideas to feed and to hydrate our best friend in the summer heat while he’s having fun is giving him an ice-cream.

There are lots of video tutorials on the Internet to do homemade ice-creams, but this time wanted Colette to taste a processed ice-cream but with a homemade preparation, which contains a 120 grammes tub and a bag with powdered yoghurt and lyophilized fruit (this time, banana).

The final amount obtained is too much for our little Pomeranians, so you can give him 1/3 of the ice-cream at the most….and the rest is for you! : )

Are bananas good for Pomeranians? (more…)

WE MOVE TO MADRID!

Tips when moving with dogs

We want to apologize because since the last post about Colette’s holidays on the floating houses, we haven’t updated the blog. The main reason: we were moving and Colette and I will be living in Madrid since the 1st October.

Taking advantage of this circumstance, in today’s post we want to talk you about the moving, because even if, unlike cats, dogs tend to be more attached to their owners than to their surroundings, it is always good to have some tips for before, during and after the moving for calming our Pomeranians down and make them less likely to suffer anxiety in this situation.
