Pomeranian Toys

Teething Toys:

It can be very frustrating for dog owners to have puppies who are teething; not only do most dogs try to chew on just about everything except the kitchen sink leaving a wake of destroyed household items, but it is also sad to know that your puppy is suffering during this difficult time. A dog will chew and gnaw on anything that they can, in an attempt to dull the pain that they are in.

Many of our PetPom Members have asked our recommendation for dog toys. One must keep in mind that anyone can create a cheap plastic object and call it a dog toy; this is not what your Pomeranian needs! A loving owner must be careful to choose quality toys that not only look fun, but are fun!

You will want a toy that not only will keep your Pom amused, but that are designed with teething in mind. Teething toys are ones that can be frozen, so that as your puppy chews, the cold can numb the gums and lessen the pain. Some toys are simply able to be put in the freezer...best are those that can be filled with water and then frozen.

And never underestimate the power of the ice cube ! Putting an ice cube on a slippery floor will keep you puppy amused and sooth those gums! If you want to add some zine, add chicken broth to water and then freeze in ice cube trays.

Boredom and Separation Anxiety Toys:

The correct toys are vital when trying to help your Pomeranian cope with separation anxiety and learning to be home alone when they cannot be with their best friend. Boredom and the stress of waiting for you to arrive back home to them can cause a Pomeranian to chew nervously on just about any item that they can find. Resolving this issue is two-fold. An owner must supply their dog with a bounty of wonderful, amusing toys and an owner must implement training. When you arrive home, do not greet your dog immediately.

First, give the "Find" command and have your dog bring you one of their toys. When they do so, offer all the hugs, kisses and attention that you have! After a week or so of this training, this will show your dog that having a toy is good behavior. While they are missing you, they will remember that if they have a toy, hugs and kisses will come faster!

Interactive toys for your Pom are those that hold treats inside. A once bored puppy will spend hours working on the toy to release the treats inside. Toys that make noise or move when a trigger is touched work well also!

Toy Dispenser and Boxes

Toy dispensers work brilliantly when you must leave your Pomeranian home alone for several hours; however do keep in mind that it is not for every budget! While it will keep your Pomeranian interested and busy while you are away, dog toy boxes are also a great method for your dog to have a special place to "hide" and keep their special toys! It is important for all dogs to know that their toys are their alone and that they can depend and rely on where to find them.

If you do not have the means to keep buying new toys, it is recommended to keep 2 different boxes of toys. Only allow your pup to play with one set at a time. Then, when they seem to become tired of the "same old toys", bring out the 2nd box and put away the 1st one.

You can keep rotating them like this and your Pomeranian will always feel as if they have new toys.
