How To Travel With Your Pomeranian

So it’s summer, and that means it’s vacation time for several people! But what’s a Pommy Mommy to do when traveling with her fur baby?

There’s a lot to consider when trying to decide whether to bring your four-legged bestie along for your adventure, but knowing a few things before you go and doing your homework ahead of time will be a big help.

The first thing you should consider is if your Pommy will get any enjoyment out of the trip or if it would just be a hairy situation for your little furball. Some pets don’t travel well and you wouldn’t want to cause your Pommy any undue stress, so in some cases it might be better to hire a dog sitter or board your pet at a kennel.

For the Pom Moms who decide to travel with their pets, being prepared will go a long way in minimizing stress and simplifying the process. We hope the following tips will help you and your Pommy have safe travels!

Lodging

Make sure you know the hotel’s pet policy before you arrive there. Are pets even allowed? If so, is there a fee? What are the other rules associated with pets? Since the policies usually vary by location, call ahead and ask. Petswelcome.com is also a great resource for finding pet-friendly hotels in any locale.

Road Trip

If you plan to hit the road, make sure your furry friend is familiar with the car well beforehand by taking him or her on a series of short drives, gradually lengthening the amount of time spent in the car.

Your Pommy not only has to be familiar with the car, but the crate they’ll be traveling in once inside the car. Make sure the crate is well ventilated and is big enough for your Pom to sit, stand, lie down and turn around in, then make sure the crate is secure inside the car. As an alternative to a crate, you can get your Pommy a safety harness that attaches to the seat belt buckle. There are also booster seats you can place your pet in.

It’s important to secure your Pommy because a sudden stop or accident could send him or her flying across the car, and a loose pet in a car means there’s a greater chance of him or her escaping if someone opens a door without first grabbing the leash.

Stop frequently for bathroom and exercise breaks for your Pommy. It’s a good idea to give your Pom a light meal a few hours before you get in the car so their tummy has time to settle, but don’t feed your Pom in a moving vehicle, as that could lead to an upset stomach. And of course, never leave your Pommy alone in a parked car on a warm day.

If you’ll be traveling across state lines, take your Pom’s rabies and vaccination records since some states require proof of those vaccinations at certain interstate crossings.

Flying

The first thing you need to do is check with the airline for its rules and regulations regarding pet travel. Several require a health certificate and other things you might not have considered – and some don’t even allow dogs on board.

Airlines differ on their animal travel policies and requirements in terms of bag/crate size limits, number of pets allowed in the cabin, type of breed and more. Before you book a ticket, it’s important to make sure the airline doesn’t have any special restrictions that will prevent your Pom from flying.

It’s a good idea to visit a website like PetTravel.com or BringFido.com to find a complete list of each airline’s rules, but call the airline to make sure that information is up to date.

It’s also important to check with the airline about health regulations, as many require pets to have a health certificate acquired within the past 10 days to fly. This would also be a good time to see if the airline allows pets to be sedated if you are considering that – some do not.

Just because your Pommy is small, lovable and adorable doesn’t mean he or she can fly for free – you have to pay for your Pommy’s ticket, too. Many airlines charge a fee for each way, which can be as much as a couple hundred dollars. Check individual airlines for specific rates.

Reservations are required for pets that will be carry-on passengers as well as those that will travel in the cargo area. Small pets (weight varies by airline) are often allowed as carry-on’s, but are required to remain in their kennels or carrying bags under the seat during the flight. Larger pets have to fly in the cargo area of the plane.

Just like when you’re going on a road trip, if you plan to fly with your Pommy, it’s important that he or she is familiar with their kennel, carrying case or Sherpa bag. Sherpa bags are often used to carry pets during in-flight travel. You want your Pom to feel comfortable in the bag or carrier so they feel safe on the plane. Make sure the crate or bag is up to standard, accepted by the airline and is the right size for your Pom.

When possible, choose nonstop flights to minimize the stress of you and your Pommy having to change planes several times.

Train, Bus and Sea Travel

Amtrak and Greyhound buses don’t allow pets. Most cruise ships, with the exception of a few, aren’t fido-friendly either.

General Tips

*A visit to the vet is important before any trip, especially if you plan to fly.

*It’s a good idea to get your Pom a microchip for identification if he or she doesn’t already have one.

*Make sure your Pommy wears a collar with a tag that has your name and home address, as well as a temporary travel tag with your cell phone number and any other relevant contact information.

*Take a current photo of your Pommy with you on the trip in case you would get separated.

*Pack extra food and water, and your Pom’s favorite toys or blankets. Don’t forget the leash, waste bags, any medication or grooming supplies.

*Locate a vet’s office near where you will be staying so you’ll know where to go in case of an emergency. HealthyPet.com is a good resource for that.

*Exercise your Pommy before and after you get to where you’re going. Letting them burn off excess energy before the trip is especially helpful. If they’re tired, they’ll be more inclined to rest en route.

*Once you reach your destination, try to keep your Pom’s eating and exercise schedule similar to what it would be at home.

*If a vet recommends sedation while traveling for a pet that is anxious or aggressive, do a test-run before you leave so you know how it will affect your pet.

If you decide it’s best not to take your Pommy along on your trip – or can’t – research kennel and doggie day care options. You can also have someone house-sit for you and take care of your Pommy at home, and in that situation it’s even better if your pooch knows the person and is familiar with them. Whatever the case, we hope you and your Pommy are having a fabulous summer!

Peace, Love, & Pomeranians,

Celebrity Pomeranian Sylvester Stallone

Celebrity Pomeranian Sylvester Stallone

I love that Celebrities like Sylvester Stallone are Pommy Daddies. While we here at Pommy Mommy are all about the celebrity Pom Moms, we figured that Father’s Day is the perfect time to recognize some famous Pommy Dads! Celebrity Pomeranian Sylvester Stallone

Did you know that Bill Cosby, Elvis Presley, Isaac Newton, Mozart and Michelangelo all owned Pomeranians?! Singer/songwriter Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty fame and rapper, record producer and actor P. Diddy (Sean Combs) are also proud Pom owners! These guys aren’t afraid to show affection for their furry little friends, and have been seen out and about with their Pommies.

Movie Star Sylvester Stallone, who is our “Pommy Daddy of the Month,” has also been spotted more than once with a super poofy sable Pomeranian riding in the front seat of his convertible sports car. He’s also owns an absolutely adorable tiny white Teacup Pommy.

Stallone adores his Pomeranian and has been seen several times out on the town with the sweet little ball of fur. Extremely faithful to their owners, the Pomeranian has become a hot favorite among celebrities, and Stallone is just one of them.

Now that you know Stallone prefers Poms when it comes to dogs, here’s some more details about the actor’s life. Celebrity Pomeranian Sylvester Stallone

Stallone, who is also a screenwriter and film director, is best known for his Hollywood action roles – most notably the underdog boxer Rocky Balboa and soldier John Rambo.

He gained worldwide recognition as an actor, writer and director when he played the title role in his own screenplay of Rocky. The 1976 triple-Oscar-winning movie was inducted into the National Film Registry, and its film props have a place in the Smithsonian Museum. The 72 stone steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in Philadelphia, Penn., have been nicknamed the “Rocky Steps” thanks to Stallone’s famous scene in the movie when his character runs up the steps to the song, “Gonna Fly Now.” Tourists often mimic Rocky’s famous climb. Celebrity Pomeranian Sylvester Stallone

There is also a bronze statue of Rocky near the museum that makes for a popular photo opportunity for visitors. Stallone’s role as Rocky landed him an induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2011.

Rocky was nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Best Actor and Best Original Screenplay nominations for Stallone. The film went on to win the Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Directing and Best Film Editing. It spawned five sequels: Rocky II, III, IV, V and Rocky Balboa, all written by and starring Stallone. Celebrity Pomeranian Sylvester Stallone

Stallone had another big success when he wrote, directed and starred in Rambo, an action film series in which he plays John Ramob, a troubled Vietnam War veteran. The series includes First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Part II, Rambo III and Rambo.

Stallone also wrote, directed and starred in the 2010 action thriller The Expendables, which boasted a cast of stars including Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mickey Rourke and several others. The film opened at No. 1 at the box office making Stallone the only actor to open a No. 1 film across five decades. The iconic actor has been involved in several other films over the years including Stayling Alive, Demolition Man, Bullet to the Head, The Specialist, Assassins, Daylight and many others. He’s received countless awards and accolades for his work.

Who knew an actor famous for his tough-guy action roles would have an affinity for poofy little Pomeranians?! It’s just more proof that Pommies can capture the heart of anyone!

Today, we’d like to wish all of the Pommy Dads out there a Happy Father’s Day!

Pomeranian Rescue Stories

A Pommy Mommy Rescue Story: Penny the Pommy

written by Pommy Mommy

This weeks rescue Pomeranian comes from Kansas! Her name is Penny and her “Pommy Mommy” Jennifer is going to tell us all about how Penny came to live with her and her family! Go grab your little cuddle buddy and get ready for a super happy “tail waggin” read!

We had just lost both of our old dogs to cancer, within 5 months of each other and were left heartbroken and wanting a new little companion. I just adore animals (I haven’t even eaten meat since I was a kid) and all of our pets have been rescues so far… we especially have a soft spot for the ones who wouldn’t normally get a good home. There are so many animals out there in shelters who are in need of a loving home, that I couldn’t feel good about going to a breeder. I know there are many breeders who are legitimately caring and good to their dogs, but it’s often hard to tell.

We looked for dogs on Petfinder.com for several weeks, but hadn’t thought to look for places near the lake house. That Thanksgiving weekend, we decided to search the local shelters down there and I saw Penny’s pic at a place called S.T.A.F.F. (Society for the Treatment of Abandoned and Fractured Friends), and I fell in love with her. I had always wanted a Pom, but I was doubtful at first that I would ever find one through a shelter, so I was excited when I saw Penny. I had no idea what kind of life she had lived until we called and talked to a staff member named Kris, who explained her story that before they got her she had lived her entire life in a cage, never feeling grass under her feet and she would take a lot of patience and love and still may never be like a normal dog. When we got to the shelter, all of the dogs were jumping and barking like crazy, except Penny, who was named Foxy at the time. She stood at the back of her cage and wagged her tail at me when I said hi to her, making my heart squeeze a little.

We adopted Penny from the shelter, where she had been for 2 years of her 4 year life. The other two years she was at a puppy mill, where over 250 dogs were rescued.

The people at the shelter told us that when they went to raid the puppy mill, they found dogs who were eating each other’s legs. It was that horrible… however despite all that she’s been through, Penny is a super sweet, but scared girl and never ever mean.

She had actually been adopted out before, but the family didn’t want to keep her and were going to sell her on Craigslist. Thankfully the shelter had found out what the evil people were planning to do and got her back again. The shelter thought she would stay for the rest of her life. The owner of the shelter was so kind, and said she would give us Penny free of charge, because they could tell that we could give her the kind of home she needed. I work from home and can be around her almost always, ensuring she has care and someone to let her outside when need be. We also adopted a chihuahua the same day and he has been teaching Penny how to become a “real dog.”

Penny’s such a wonderful addition to our family and I can’t imagine why anyone would want to treat her bad or try to get rid of her. It broke my heart when I found out she had lived almost her whole life in a cage and never had felt grass under her feet until the shelter took her in. She’s not always the most affectionate dog, understandably, but when she does give those little puppy licks or wags her tail, you feel like you just earned the most amazing reward.

We’ve had our pups since Thanksgiving and Penny has already come out of her shell quite a lot! I’m so proud of her and every little step she makes feels like a big victory.

Pomeranian "How To"

How To Potty Train Your Pomeranian With Potty Bells.

written by Pommy Mommy

Mika getting ready to ring her bells to go potty!

Okay here it is, the article that you’ve been waiting for. Learn how to teach your Pomeranian to use the Potty Bells to go outside and go potty! Jennifer, Pommy Mommy of Prada and Lucia is back to give us a tutorial to teach us how to use the potty bells. This is the article that I read and I used to train Mika how to ring the bell. Mika is 10 years old and learned how to ring the bell in less than a week! This article is amazing and it really works! I encourage you to give it a try if you’re looking for a good way for you Pommy to let you know they need to go!

I taught Prada to ring bell from the first day she was home at 7 weeks old but any dog can learn it at any age you just have to be consistent! Get a bell and hang it from the door handle that you want your dog to use to potty outside. We have one on the front door AND the back door depending where we are in our shotgun house. Make sure the ribbon or string is long enough that your pup can get up on their back legs and touch it with their front paws or even touch it with their nose.

When you go to let your pup out, say “Outside” or “potty outside” (or whatever you say to your dog for outside!) and show them the bell & them ring it for them. Don’t get all crazy Salvation Army Santa-at-Christmas ringing, but a quick ring that gets their attention where they can hear you saying “outside.” With a pup as little as Prada, I went to the pet store and got one of those green rubber “balls” with the holes in them for birds where the birds can peck into the openings and ring the bell. It worked out great because the bell was the perfect size AND she loved the ball to play with after! The second bell I got from a wedding I went to where we rang the tiny little bell for the bride & groom instead of throwing rice, so you don’t need to spend a lot of money. We’ve actually “lost” our bells and now I have Mardi Gras beads hanging on one door and a piece of a belt from my luggage with the buckle part down at the bottom that makes a “bell-like” noise when she rings it. The tiny bell can work for any dog — Prada used to have a 95lb Boxer friend that learned from Prada about the bell and he just walks up to the bell and touches it with his nose. Prada has to get on her back legs to reach it. When she REALLY has to go outside she will get a head start from across the room & haul tail at the door, ninja herself at the door & hit the bell with all four paws! THEN I KNOW she has to go NOW!

After a couple of days of doing that EVERY TIME YOU LET THEM OUT, start taking the pup’s paw & gently make their paw touch the

Prada on Potty Training!

bell & ring it & say “Good girl! (boy!) Potty OUTSIDE!” and then open the door and let them potty outside.. Do this with their paw EVERY TIME YOU LET THEM OUT. Occasionally walk over to the door yourself and shake on the ribbon to ring the bell, look at your dog and say “Potty outside? Come on!” and MAKE them go outside and if you can make them potty that’s even better. The key is consistency and just repeating the action over and over and not giving up or letting one potty break go by without ringing the bell.

Just keep at it and before you know it, one day you’ll be sitting on the couch watching TV & you’ll hear the bell ring & see your pup standing by the door!!! For the first couple of months she was ringing the bell LIKE CRAZY because she wanted to go play outside and associated the bell with OUTSIDE — not that it was ONLY to go outside to potty, NOT to play!!! That was pretty frustrating and while we were THRILLED she was using the bell it was difficult to break her of that habit. Inevitably if she rang the bell and we DIDN’T let her out because we thought she just wanted to play she would pee on the floor! And then if we’d let her out she’d stand there and eat stuff, chase birds or lay down in the sun. We ended up letting her out every time and if she didn’t potty or look like she was sniffing around and wanting to potty within a minute or so we’d bring her back inside and not give her a treat. Also, make sure that when they are going potty outside you are telling them “Potty OUTSIDE! Good girl/boy!” and keep a treat on you so as soon as they’re done going immediately give them the treat in the yard and say “Potty outside! Yes!! Good!!” that way they associate their “going” with the words “potty outside” and you’re reinforcing that with an immediate treat.

We thought about litter box training her but decided to use the bell that way when we go places we bring the bell and we put the bell on the door knob & bring her to the door, ring the bell & say, “Prada, potty outside!” and she’s been doing it for so many years she know what it means. Once she learned it it translated to other locations pretty fluidly. If you’re still starting out the training, you might want to ring the bell, say “potty outside” and then let your pup out to make sure they know what door to go. Poms are kinda “vocal” too which is another reason I chose this way so that’s one less thing she has to bark about!!! Hahaha! 😀

I’m so glad I trained her with the bell and since then Prada has “taught” a half dozen or so dogs to ring the bell. Usually the pup will stay with us any time from a couple of days to about two weeks and their success rate at their home always relies on the consistency and positive reinforcement of their owners. It’s a full-time thing for a few days or a few weeks but I PROMISE IT IS WORTH IT!!! When you

Mika waiting to go outside after she rang the bell!

consider how many years you will have your dog, a couple of weeks or a month is NOTHING in time when you know that for 10-15 years your dog will be ringing the bell to go outside. Prada has gotten to a point that if we go somewhere and if we get there and I forget to immediately hang the bell, she will go to the door and jump on the door even with no bell there. She doesn’t bark or growl, she knows that’s what she’s supposed to do.

Good luck with it! Be consistent & be patient too! ♥

Pomeranian Grooming

How to Brush Your Pomeranians Teeth

written by Jaime Mowers

Does your Pom have bad breath?

You are not alone! As a Pommy Mommy of two Poms that used to have bad breath – one of which recently had to have a tooth extraction – I can speak from some experience in this department.

Bad breath is often an indicator of poor dental hygiene (I wish I would have known this a long time ago!) Poms, and many other toy breeds, are prone to dental problems and early tooth loss, but the good news is that much of it can be prevented by providing your Pom with the proper care.

One of the most important things a Pommy Mommy can do to prevent and treat bad breath and other dental problems is to brush their Pom’s teeth every day.

Before you say, “There’s no way my Pom is going to let me do this,” trust me when I say it can be done – and it must be done for your Pom’s health. I thought the same thing, neglected my Poms’ teeth, and then my little Foxy got an infection and had to have a tooth pulled. I felt terrible!

It’s important to make teeth-brushing time a part of your Pom’s daily routine so he or she will get used to it. Starting when they’re still a puppy is ideal, but it’s never too late. Before you charge right in with a toothbrush, try running your finger over your Pom’s teeth. Once they’re used to that, you can try putting a dollop of canine toothpaste on a finger toothbrush, which is a small, soft piece that fits over your finger but has brush-like bristles. If they adjust well to that, you can go for a doggie toothbrush with the doggie toothpaste. (Note: Never use your own toothpaste when brushing your dog’s teeth, as it contains toxins harmful to dogs.)

If your Pom’s mouth is simply too small or they haven’t warmed up to the toothbrushing – as was the case for my Poms – try using a small washcloth or wrapping a piece of gauze around your finger to smear on the toothpaste and clean their teeth. My vet suggested the gauze-around-your-finger method for Foxy and Bear-Bear and that was what worked for us.

Another big help? They love the chicken-flavored canine toothpaste! My Poms have come to like the toothpaste so much they see it as a treat, and therefore the teeth-brushing routine has become much more enjoyable for all of us!You can find several flavors of canine toothpaste at the pet store that will make toothbrushing much more palatable for your Poms. (If you want to skip the canine toothpaste, you can also just mix some baking soda with water.) And of course, remember to praise your Pom in the process of introducing them to the tooth brushing.

If you’ve tried and tried and brushing of any kind isn’t working, there’s also dental gels, sprays and wipes that can be used.

In addition to brushing/cleaning on a daily basis, it’s also crucial to get your Pom to the vet for a professional cleaning at least once a year. Daily brushings help remove plaque, but the professional cleaning will remove tarter build-up. It’s also a good chance for the vet to get a look at your Pom’s teeth and make sure no serious dental problems are surfacing.

Feeding your Pom dry dog food, along with dental bones and chew toys, can also help keep their teeth healthy.

Hopefully after all of this your Pommy no longer has bad breath. However, if you’ve tried all of these tactics and your Pom’s breath is still less than stellar, it could be a sign of a more serious dental problem and you should see your vet immediately.

Happy brushing!

Peace, Love & Pomeranians,

Pomeranian Rescue Stories

A Pommy Mommy Rescue Story! Luka & Niko Pomeranian Brothers

written by Pommy Mommy

Surprise!!! The rumors are true!!!

Two Pomeranian Brothers have found a forever home with the Pommy Mommy family! Sometimes life just takes you by surprise, and that was the case with our two new rescue brothers Luka and Niko!

Go grab your Pommy, cozy up, and I’ll tell you all about how these boys won us over!

It all started the two days after we brought our little Mika home from the SPCA here in Nevada. I had scheduled a visit with our family Vet for Mika to have her all checked out and get more heart medication for the heart murmur she developed… so we needed to get her medical records because they were not in her file.

We rescued Mika on November 28th and went back to pick up her records on November 30th at 4:45pm – fifteen minutes before closing.

We walk in and saw Maria, the woman who helped us rescue Mika, she gave us the medical records and explained what the paperwork meant. When she was finished, she decided to mention to me that someone just dropped off 2 small Pomeranians a few hours ago. She said the owner claimed that they had no time for them… and just left them there. I could not resist the temptation to go and look at them. I was afraid that I would fall instantly in love with them… but I still asked… “Can we go see them?” Ahhh the five little words that can change your life forever!

My husband and I made our way down the ramp that leads to a hallways filled with cages of dogs… all shapes and sizes. Maria stops at a cage and points at the two tiny Poms wagging their tails, looking up at us scared to death. Maria opened the cage and we each took one into our arms. They were GRIPPING us with their little paws (like they had fingers) holding on for dear life, meanwhile showering us with kisses. We both wanted to take them right then, however since they just got there, they still had to go through processing. Rabies, micro-chip… etc. Their hair was extremely matted with urine and poop stuck to it. They smelled like someone had been neglecting them for a very long time. After being nearly kissed to death, we had to give them back to Maria… our hearts sank. It was closing time for the SPCA, so with big frowny faces we left as the little “black one” let out a yip as we walked away… just to pierce our hearts one more time.

That night my husband and I went down to one of our regular Mexican restaurants on the strip. (One of the many perks about living so close to the Vegas strip!) My husband orders Margaritas for the both of us and we instantly start talking about the little poof balls we just held moments ago.

So many thoughts were racing through our mind. We just rescued Mika… is it crazy that we’re thinking about rescuing 2 more?!?! Can we handle 5 dogs? Am I going to be looked at as the “crazy dog lady?” Will all of the dogs get along? Then I thought to myself, they came into the shelter together, more than likely they are best friends, I didn’t want them to be separated. Also I couldn’t stop thinking how cute they were and that they were GRIPPING onto us when we were holding them. I knew they needed a good home with lots of love.

We tossed around the idea of fostering them until they could find a forever home… however I knew that if we fostered them, we would end up adopting them anyway! So we decided then and there that the next morning we would wake up and go back to the shelter to scoop them up and take them home! That night, we could hardly sleep we were so excited!

The next day we woke up bright and early and with our coffee in hand we headed back down to the SPCA. At this point, I was starting to feel like I lived there. We were there almost every other day! We walked in and I was praying that they didn’t already get adopted in the short time that they had been open for business. I kept telling myself that if someone had already adopted them, than it was for the best. We walked in and saw Maria and told her that we were back for the boys. She said “Oh, are you going to foster them until they find a home?” We told her that we were thinking about something a bit more permanent! We were there to adopt them! She just smiled…(knowing it was all her doing… telling us all about them and then taking us to see them!) For that I am forever grateful that she did tell us about them!

We followed Maria down the hallway filled with dogs in cages until we stopped in front of the same cage as last night! Maria said that she found out that one of them still needs to be neutered. We said you mean spayed right? She looked at us and said she discovered that they were brothers! We were shocked, because the whole time we thought they were girls! They were so heavily matted it was hard to tell! She asked us if we changed our minds because they were boys. My husband and I quickly responded – at the same time – that it didn’t change our minds about them at all! I squealed with delight that we were adopting boys! Who would have ever thought that I would be the Mommy of two brothers!?

We brought them up to the front desk to start the paperwork for them. For the time being we were told that we had to foster them because the SPCA was not aloud to adopt any pet that has not been “fixed.” Surgery was set for three days later for the “little brown one” – yep, that was his name for the first 6 hours we had him! We signed the foster papers and off to the dog wash we went! These kiddos were so filthy we could not even take them home before giving them a bath. They were both wonderful when we bathed them, brushed out all and cut out nearly 250 matts. As a little Pommy Spa extra we gave them a nice hot oil treatment for their very dry and flaky skin. After the spa treatment we picked out new collars and a kennel for them… then it was time to meet the family!

We took them out of the car and immediately placed them in the back yard, telling them this is where they go potty! After they sniffed around and made their “mark” we let the girls outside to meet their new brothers!

I still remained shocked that everyone gets along so well! Mika has even trained the boys how to ring the potty bells to go outside! They spend the afternoons playing with their toys, – green sock monkey and purple “Peep” (a stuffed version of the Easter marshmallow treat) seem to be the favorites – They will chase the toys up and down the hall, playing tug of war with them and rough housing with each other for hours on end. They truly are best friends and I’m so happy that they are apart of the Pommy Mommy home! They fit in great and add a little flair and spunk to the household!
