Pomeranian puppies are not just adorable fluffy balls of fur with poofy tails. They experience various stages of development during their first year. Here are some insights on what to anticipate:
Around the age of 8 to 12 weeks, your Pomeranian puppy should have completed the weaning process and be able to eat and drink independently. At this stage, your puppy will engage in energetic bursts of running known as "zoomies," as it seeks to explore and play. After playtime, your puppy may become tired and seek a secure spot to rest and sleep..
Always supervise your new puppy. Be mindful of these small dogs as they are able to fit through narrow spaces and may end up lost or hurt. Exercise extra caution if you have a swivel chair or a rocking chair.
When your new puppy is resting or you cannot supervise, the best place for them is in a small dog crate equipped with a crate pad and a comfortable blanket for safety.
When you introduce your new puppy to a small child, make sure to closely supervise every interaction. Puppies are quite wriggly and can quickly wriggle out of a child's grip, potentially falling to the ground and suffering serious injuries or even death.
Pomeranian puppies can learn to be house trained outside. With consistent effort, they pick it up fast. Puppies often whine when they need to go potty, especially when crated. Avoid scolding your puppy for accidents and always be positive when they go potty on command. Stay patient; it will be worth it in the end.
It is recommended to feed your new puppy solid food at least three times a day and ensure that water is always accessible. Puppies generally have greater nutritional needs compared to adult dogs, so consulting your veterinarian about any specific dietary requirements for your new puppy is advisable.
When bathing your puppy, it is important to properly dry its hair with a blow dryer afterwards. Be cautious when adjusting the heat settings on the blow dryer. Avoid using high heat and always keep a close eye on the drying process to prevent any burns or overheating of your puppy.
Like any other newborn baby, new puppies enjoy playing, eating, going potty, and sleeping. Your puppy will appreciate every pet, praise, and display of affection. Being held is enjoyable for short durations.
Have fun with your new puppy and don’t be shocked if you find your puppy
