    If your dog is sickeningly shedding - where he looks like he's unhealthy - then I suggest you go to the vet. My dog had a skin problem, was losing hair around his face, and we put him on antibiotics until his immune system kicked in properly.

    However, if its moderate shedding (as it sounds to me) there's really nothing you can. Didn't you know pomeranians were shedding dogs???

    What kind of a climate do you live in?
    The pomeranian is a spitz, a form of a Northern arctic dogs. I have a Siberian Husky and read that they would shed just twice a year, but my breeder told me that realistically, this is not true unless you live in very severe climates where you experience both weather extremes of hot and cold, mostly cold. In So.Cal our seasons aren't very evident so my husky blows her coat evenly year round. A northern dog just isn't a good investment if you can't stand carrying around a lint roller with you :wink:

    With artic dogs that live indoors they dont blow their coat like once or twice a year, they shed constantly. I have a husky and poms they all do this. If they were strictly outside they probly would. Some who live indoors still do blow their coat all at once but not mine. Does it look like his hair is too thin?

    I have a pom-a-poo. Unfortunately she favors the pom more than the poodle. And we live in a dry desert climate (Las Vegas) and we find little piles of Maya hair everywhere all year long. I would take your pom to the vet just to make sure its not an allergy or anything like that. My pup was loosing hair and we discovered that she was allergic to her dog food and was manifesting itself as skin and coat problem. Changed her food and she has a beautiful coat. Its all best to err on the side of caution. :)

    i've never tried it, but i saw this serum at hte vet's office to prevent shedding. one spoonful per meal.

    i personally wouldn't do it, but if you're that upset about it...

    Casper my grandfather uses that for his rottie and it helps with the shedding but she still sheds alot.
