Pomeranians have a fluffy double coat with a dense undercoat and a longer outer coat that gives them their signature pom-pom look. Regular grooming keeps them fluffy and mat-free.
How often
Every 4–8 weeks for a bath, blow-out, tidy, and deshedding. The frequency depends on whether you keep the full fluffy coat or a shorter trim.
Typical cost
Expect $45–$85. Poms are small, but the thick coat takes time to bathe, dry, and deshed properly, which keeps them out of the bargain range.

Go easy on shaving
Like other double-coated breeds, Pomeranians can suffer "post-clipping alopecia," where shaved coat grows back thin, patchy, or not at all. A tidy and deshed is safer than a close shave — talk to your groomer before going short.
Owner tips
Brush 2–3 times a week with a slicker and comb, getting down to the undercoat. Focus on friction areas behind the ears and under the legs where mats hide.
