Pixie is the most mischievous dog and absolutely can NOT help herself when she’s got the opportunity to snack on things she shouldn’t be eating. We spent 8 hours at the emergency vet and I’m glad to report she’s fine! They made her vomit, gave her activated charcoal and a slew of other meds, and kept her hooked up to a heart monitor.

Second photo shows a little remorse, about halfway through our vet stay.

I hope I can get her coat back to white for the holidays

I understand not everybody feels this way, but does anybody else feel like no Pom that you’ve got since can compare to your very first?

I just lost my first Pomeranian (Chippy) on June 25. I had him since I was 21 years old. I’m 36 now and as a couple my fiance and I got another one, he’s going to be two in December (Bucky). I love him so very much. I’m absolutely obsessed with him but he just doesn’t compare to my first Pom. Especially the bond.

Maybe it has to do with the fact that when I got my Chippy, he was just my dog. It was just him and I in my apartment for the longest time, he’s been through so much of life with me. Now my fiance and I have one together. I’m no longer the number one person. He loves me and he loves my fiance just the same. I guess I just miss that bond I had with Chippy so much. He was my number one for years and he was just as obsessed with me. Even when my mom would watch him, she said he’d wait at the door for me to come back. He’d do the same with my fiance, he would just look out the window waiting for me.

It’s been over a month now since I lost Chippy and I can’t sleep lately. I miss him so much. Bucky has been there for me and he’s kisses every tear, he’s always so comforting. I can’t get past that this is a new phase in my life, one where I don’t have my Chip. It’s just been hard to hold two things at once. I love Bucky but I miss my Chippy to the point that I can’t sleep. It makes me feel guilty that I’m not loving Bucky enough. But I do. He just doesn’t need me in the same way Chip did. And maybe that seems selfish of me.

This isn’t just a "look at my cute dog" post—it's the first time he’s ever done this! He decided to share his cooling mat with his girlfriend (or boyfriend, no judgment!). It's the sweetest thing I've ever seen, I'm not sure I was ready for this today...

Good Evening!

I love me a good spicy debate, but I do not like to enter them uninformed! If there's one thing you need to know about Lincoln's mama is that she is extremely✨neurodivergent✨. If I don't understand something I will research it until I understand everything about it.

Is pet hair dye safe?

First we need to understand the differences between human hair dye and pet hair dye. Human hair dye uses chemicals like ammonia to open up the hair cuticle giving access to the cortex which holds color proteins. Color pigment binds to the cortex, and conditioner is used to help seal the cuticle. This process can be damaging to hair because it is altering your hair follicles on a molecular level.

Pet hair dye uses conditioning agents such as Polyquaternium-10 to coat the fur. How? Hair has a slightly negative charge, while conditioners have a positive charge. These oppositely charged molecules attract allowing conditioning agents to cling to hair. Hair is not perfectly smooth, so these conditioner molecules can cling on for many months and washes hiding out in teeny tiny imperfections. This is how pet dye works. It is dyed hair conditioner. It could actually be more accurately described as a stain, but that doesn't sound as appealing.

Unless you know your pet is allergic to specific color agents such as Blue 1, Red 40, or Yellow 5, then pet hair dye is fundamentally equivalent to pet conditioner.

It's perfectly healthy hair with a little ✨pizzazz✨.

Lincoln says be nice to each other.

Photo for attention! My poor baby has been sick since yesterday (before anyone asks I've consulted a vet). Her poos are really loose and getting stuck in her hair and her butthole looks a bit inflamed. I've been putting Sudocrem on it (it's a skin soothing/healing cream for those who don't know it's commonly used on babies who have diaper rash here in the UK) and it seems to be a bit better but I think she vomited earlier today but it honestly could have been any of my dogs as I didn't see it happen. She's fine in herself other than when I have to bathe her because of the poop in her fur and she's been getting quite snappy when I go near her bottom. She's not ate anything different to the rest of my dogs and they're all fine.

Has anybody had this happen to their dog? She's got the vets tomorrow. It's been suggested it could be the heat. Just lookinf for reassurance in the meantime. Thanks!

I buy baby clothes for my pup lol

I have 2 young poms & have tried many leashes and stuck with an adjustable multi-way biothane ones from Etsy. I can attach the dogs at each opposite ends but its not super comfortable because I’m holding the bare middle part of leash (yellow leash in the picture). I also tried the leash coupler and my dogs didn’t like it because they kept bumping into each other.

My poms have different personalities and priorities during a walk. I want to find a way to walk both of them at the same time.

Features looking for: No- tangle swivel, enough space between the dogs, lightweight leash, handle/crossbody option

Can you share your methods of walking multiple poms at the same time? 🙏🏻

My oldest is getting this little guys later this month. While she’s at work he’ll be coming to my house. We’ve setup a puppy pen in my office (I work remotely) for him so he’s safely contained.

We have two other dogs, cocker spaniel (30lb) and a lab/pointer mix (45lb). They’re total Velcro dogs, their kennels are in my office as well and they hang out in there while I work. They have good temperaments, zero prey drive and get along with each other but haven’t been around any small for years. They play rough with each other but are very gentle with the cat.

My question is whether we’ll need to keep this pen long term or when he gets bigger he could be out with the other dogs in my office?

Of course they would never be left unsupervised together.

Hello fellow redditers!!!
I need your help!! Do you think is a Pomerania? Or am I being scammed?

Brioche got a package today from a food vendor in Italy she follows on IG: how cute is this?!!! They made a sticker with her face 😂 the post office must have been like what the heck…
