Complete Information Regarding the Pomeranian Toy Dog
Daily Checklist
Eyes: The eyes of a Pomeranian dog are very important. A slight, watery discharge is quite normal. However, if your Pomeranian has a very thick discharge, this is usually a sign of illness and should be taken care of by a veterinarian as soon as possible. If your pet has an unusual reddish color in his/her eyes that is also a sign of illness. When a dog ages it develops a cloudiness of it's lens, which unfortunately can lead to blindness, but can be avoided with proper care and treatment to any early stage problems.
Mammary tissue (females):Check for swelling
Testicles (males): Check for swelling
Nose: Check for abnormal discharge from the nose. An older Pomeranian can develop crust and/or cracks on it's nose and you should seek treatment for this. It is normal for the color of a dog's nose to change over a period of time.
Ears: Odor coming from your pet Pomeranian ears is a strong signal of disease.
Breathing: Bad breath from a dog can be a sign of impending disease and you should have it check out by your vet. Normal breathing is very important, this assures you that your pet is in normal condition. Abnormal breathing is a sign of illness.

Weight Issues What to Do if Your Pomeranian is Too Thin
When a Pomeranian does not like the taste of their food, they can outright refuse to eat. In this case, you must try a wide variety of food. A 75% dry dog food, 25% wet dog food diet is recommended, and try lots of different flavors. Flavors that you might think would take horrible may be just the food that your dog loves.
What to Do If Your Pomeranian Is Too Fat
Knowing that your Pomeranian weighs too much is not a fun thing to find out. You love your Pomeranian and it is quite depressing to know that your Pomeranian is fat. However, look at the longer term picture: this is fixable. You will need to have your Pomeranian on a special dog food diet to lose weight. There are many companies that manufacture dog food especially for fat, overweight dogs. You will not find good quality diet dog foods at your grocery store. Take a look around and choose several flavors of a quality dog food for dieting; one with low fat and the correct balance of ingredients.
Each day that does by, will be one step closer to reaching a healthy weight. An overweight Pomeranian can lose weight quickly. Because of their size, even a 1 pound loss can make a big change in the dog's appearance. While dieting, make sure to take your Pomeranian for walks. If your Pomeranian is very fat and is grossly obese you may have to begin with small walks and work your way up to longer ones. Never blame your dog for being fat. It was people who fed him. Never blame yourself, you certainly did not mean to make your Pomeranian fat. Just put it behind you and continue on with a good weight loss program and exercise for your dog.
