Shaving your Pomeranian could end up having no hair. So, if you consider shaving him and the fur as it will grow back, you are wrong. There is no certain answer to it; the hair might grow back or not. And luckily, if they succeed, they will never be the same as they were before.
Another important reason for not shaving your Pom is that your dog could be prone to heat stroke because having no hair on his body could give him a chance to sun directly affect him.

How Often Do Pomeranians Need Grooming?

Now, to quickly answer this concern, we must say

Pomeranians need regular grooming with a brushing duration of at least 15 minutes daily. It will be a perfect way to prevent matting or get rid of tangles or knots so that there would be no need to shave.

So, if you want to brush him, we recommend holding his fur with one hand and using your second hand to brush; this will help you avoid pulling, and your dog will not hurt.

Will Your Shaved Pomeranian Fur Grow Back?

The most wanted question is whether your dog gets shaved already or has some severe issues where shaving was necessary.

So, yeah, the fur will grow back. You don’t need to worry, but how long it takes to grow around this couldn’t be answered.

It depends on his skin condition. If he is not prone to skin complications, it will grow back in 4 weeks. But sometimes it could take longer than usual, so we were forcing you not to do that.

When Should You Shave Your Pomeranian?

Since we are talking about you shouldn’t shave your Pomeranian, there are certain circumstances under which shaving is a must, and you can’t avoid them.

So, let’s find out together.

If there is any severe neglect on your Pom grooming, his fur gets strictly matted and tangled, and you don’t have any solution other than shaving, then you should go for it, as you can’t leave your dog miserable.
When he has certain skin issues like a skin infection or severe allergy issues, it’s completely recommended to do that.

In short, it is recommended not to go for it until or unless your leg friend is prone to severe conditions.
