How to Brush Your Pomeranian

Keep your Pom looking perfect with these expert grooming tips!

At Tiffany Puppies, we believe every Pomeranian deserves to look and feel their best. Their fluffy double coats are adorable—but they need regular care to stay healthy and free from tangles. Whether you’re a new Pom parent or need a quick refresher, here’s everything you need to know.

The Pom Coat: What Makes It Special

Pomeranians have a beautiful double coat:

• A soft, dense undercoat

• A longer, textured outer coat

This type of coat needs brushing at least a few times a week to keep it tangle-free, fluffy, and fabulous.

Grooming Kit Essentials

Before you begin, gather these tools:

• Slicker Brush – Removes knots and loose undercoat

• Pin Brush – Adds polish and smoothness to the outer layer

• Metal Comb – Perfect for detail work and checking behind ears and legs

Top Tip: Avoid plastic-tipped brushes as they can snag or damage the fur. Choose polished or rounded pins for a gentle touch.

Brushing Routine

How Often?

• Brush 2–3 times per week

• Increase to daily brushing during shedding seasons

Brushing Technique

• Use the line brushing method:

  
  

  Lay your Pom on their side

  
  

  Part the coat in sections

  
  

  Brush from roots to ends, one layer at a time

This ensures the undercoat is properly groomed not just the surface!

Why It Matters

Brushing is more than just keeping your Pom pretty. It also:

• Prevents painful mats (especially behind ears and under legs)

• Spreads natural oils, which keep the coat shiny and skin healthy

• Removes dirt and dead hair, reducing shedding around the house

• Strengthens your bond with your dog and helps monitor their health

Start Young – Grooming Pomeranian Puppies

Begin grooming your Pom puppy early. Use:

• Soft brushes

• Gentle, short sessions

• Treats and praise for a positive experience

Building good habits now ensures a lifetime of easy grooming.

Bathing & Drying Tips

• Bathe every 3–4 weeks using dog safe shampoo

• Always brush before bathing to remove tangles

• Dry thoroughly using a towel, then a blow dryer on cool, low setting while brushing

This helps avoid mats and brings the fluff back beautifully.

Final Thought

Brushing your Pom is part of loving them. It keeps them comfortable, healthy, and stunning. Make it a relaxing ritual and enjoy those extra cuddles afterward!

From all of us at Tiffany Puppies—happy grooming!
