Start Small, Fluff Big: Why Early Grooming Matters 🐾 If you’ve just brought home a Pomeranian puppy, you’ve essentially adopted a tiny, living cloud. While they look adorable now, that famous “double coat” requires serious upkeep to stay healthy and mat-free. The secret to a stress-free grooming routine? Start now. Why Start Early? * Building Trust: Grooming involves sensitive areas like paws, ears, and sanitary spots. Introducing these sensations during the “socialization window” (under 16 weeks) teaches your pup that being handled is safe. * Desensitization: The loud hum of a blow dryer or the vibration of nail clippers can be terrifying to an adult dog. Early exposure turns these “scary monsters” into normal household noises. * Preventing “Puppy Ugly” Mats: As Poms transition from puppy fur to their adult coat, they are prone to intense matting. If they aren’t used to the brush by then, professional grooming sessions can become painful and traumatic. The “Puppy Steps” Routine * The Gentle Brush: Use a soft slicker brush for just 5 minutes a day while giving treats. * Paw Handling: Massage their paws and click the nail clippers nearby so they get used to the sound. * The “Home Spa”: Give them a shallow warm bath and follow up with a low-heat blow dry to normalize the airflow. A well-adjusted Pom isn’t just prettier—they’re happier, healthier, and much easier for your groomer to handle! ✨KouturePoms.com ✨
