Pomeranian Care
Tips
Ensure
that your home is made puppy safe before you bring him/her home:
-
Don't leave plants on the floor where the puppy can reach
them as most house plants are poisonous.
-
Raise all loose cables off the ground as this could
become dangerous chew toys. Work
your way through your home, room for room and identify possible hazards to the
new puppy that needs to be addressed before he/she arrives.
When
you bring your pom home:
Remember they are not suitable as playmates for small
children (unsupervised that is). If
children play with the pup they should be sitting flat on the
ground.
-
Don't get the puppy over excited, everyone will want to
touch and hold the puppy. The puppy will already be stressed from leaving it's
litter mates and this combined with the new environment could prove very
daunting at first. Holding, cuddling and playing is great but make sure the
puppy also gets lots of rest as well.
During
the first few weeks:
General:
-
Most
pom puppies are very fearless and if left unattended on furniture they would
not think twice about running right off the edge. This is a receipe for
disaster - DO NOT LEAVE ANY PUPPY ALONE ON FURNITURE. Cooked bones is a no, no........especially chicken - the
cooked bones tend to splinter and get stuck in the puppies
throat. -
Toys
- great idea but choose them carefully. toys with parts that can be chewed off
are not a good idea as these pieces can get stuck in their throats.
Chew
toys - again choose wisely..... watchout for any chew toy were small pieces
could be broken off and cause a choking hazard (remember that poms are very
small and extra care should be taken in this area) - Poms generally love pig
ears and hooves - just remember to disgard any small
pieces.
