Pomeranians are one of the cutest and most eye-catching dog breeds in the world, but their double-coat structure often leads to seasonal heavy shedding.
For first-time owners, this shedding can seem overwhelming — even alarming.
As Pomeranian Boo House, with years of experience raising healthy Teddy Bear and Teacup Pomeranians, we can confidently say:
Shedding is controllable with the right care routine.
Here are the 5 most effective, veterinarian-approved methods to reduce shedding in Pomeranians:
⭐ 1. Regular & Proper Brushing: The Most Effective Solution
The most important step in controlling shedding is establishing a consistent brushing routine.
How to brush correctly:
Brush 3–4 times a week, and daily during peak shedding seasons.
Use a slicker brush and metal comb designed for double-coated breeds.
Always start from the undercoat, not just the top layer.
Never brush wet fur — it causes breakage and irritation.
💡 Pomeranian Boo House Tip: Pomeranians who are introduced to brushing during puppyhood shed significantly less as adults.
⭐ 2. High-Quality Nutrition: Healthy Coats Start From Within
One of the most common causes of excessive shedding is poor nutrition.
Nutrition tips for a healthy coat:
Choose foods rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids.
Add salmon oil (1 teaspoon a few times a week) to support skin health.
Avoid low-quality, grain-heavy or allergenic dog foods.
Do not frequently change food brands — it disrupts digestion and coat balance.
🐶 Note: At Pomeranian Boo House, every puppy’s diet plan is specially prepared to support coat and skin health.
⭐ 3. Regular Bathing & Proper Grooming Products
Incorrect bathing routines can actually increase shedding.
The ideal bathing routine:
Bathe your Pomeranian every 3–4 weeks.
Use hypoallergenic, dog-specific shampoos (never human or baby shampoo).
Ensure the coat is completely dry after bathing.
Brush the coat again after drying to remove loose fur.
Professional grooming — especially deshedding treatments — can reduce shedding dramatically for double-coated breeds like Pomeranians.
⭐ 4. Vitamins & Supplements: Fix Deficiencies Quickly
Sometimes shedding is caused by vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
Helpful supplements:
Biotin (strengthens hair follicles)
Omega-3 fish oil
Zinc
Vitamin E
Skin & coat support products recommended by your veterinarian
⚠️ Warning: Always give supplements under veterinary supervision. Every Pomeranian’s needs are different.
⭐ 5. Stress Management: The Silent Trigger of Shedding
Pomeranians are emotional, sensitive dogs.
Stress, loneliness, routine changes, new environments or loud noises can all trigger excessive shedding.
Ways to reduce stress:
Daily playtime
Short but frequent walks
Maintaining a consistent routine
Reducing long periods of loneliness
Keeping a calm, quiet environment at home
A relaxed Pomeranian will always shed less than a stressed one.

Shedding in Pomeranians is normal — and cannot be completely eliminated.
However, with the right brushing routine, proper nutrition, a healthy bathing schedule and stress control, you can reduce shedding significantly.
