Hi I am new to this board and was wondering if anyone here owns pomeranians. I have two and just love them. Just was wondering if anyone else had them and if they have any grooming advice. Belles hair matts really bad and I had to cut it out. She hates to be brushed you would think someone is killing her. anyway just wondering if anyone had some usefull advice. Thanks in advance!

I have a poodle and a terrier mix. Grooming is something I do often with my poo. I think that you maybe need to make sure that the brush is not too stiff a poking or scratching her. I am certain that they are double coated dogs so you could also use besides a slicker brush a stripping brush that helps to get out the dead undercoat. If your brushes are not hurting her she needs to be brushed daily and she will realize it is a good thing.With daily brushing there is less chance for the hair to get into a tangled mess. With my terrier the first brush I bought he would try to run from me, I decided to buy a better quality one and now he loves every minute of it. Good luck. Maybe Someone will come along that does have a pom.

Thanks for the advice, I hadent realized it might be the brush. I am a little clueless with them. I will look around and see what else i can find. They do have the double coats and everything i have seen just tells me how hard it is to maintain them. lol thats not alot of help, but thanks for all the advice.

have you tried a spray on leave in conditioner on her coat that could slow down the matting so you wouldn't have to brush her so often.and if that doesn't work try giving her something to play with while you brush her that way she don't concentrate so much on what your doing.yes it's hard to brush a dog that's playing but i did it with my pup because he didn't like to be brushed either and now he's used to it and he lets me brush him everyday

I just lost my gorgeous chocolate colored Pomeranian, but have had alot of experience with her hair. I ususally shaved her in summer to keep her cool and much easier to bath, and then let her coat grow out in the winter. I found it helpful when coat was growing in to bath her, use lots of conditioner, and then blow dry her hair while I was brushing it. I used just an ordinary dog brush, not the bristle kind, and not the slicker kind. She tolerated this better than just brushing alone, as she also acted like I was killing her ...
Fortuntately she LOVED the blowdryer, came running anytime it was on, so this worked out very well. When done like this, her coat was magnificent and sooooo soft...
Hope this helps
