Pomeranian grooming in St. Charles, MO
Everything a Pomeranian owner in St. Charles needs to know about coat care — what it needs, how often, and why it matters.
Why grooming matters for a Pomeranian
The Pomeranian's spectacular puff of fur is a full double coat with a dense undercoat that stands off the body — and it needs real maintenance. That undercoat sheds heavily and mats behind the ears, on the rear, and under the legs, so regular brushing to the skin plus professional grooming keeps the coat healthy and full rather than tangled and packed.
Poms should not be shaved down: the breed is susceptible to a coat condition sometimes called 'post-clipping alopecia,' where a shaved coat can fail to grow back properly. The right approach is de-shedding, brushing, and light tidying (a trim of the feet, rear, and 'fox' shaping) rather than clipping the coat off.
What we pay attention to
The dense undercoat mats behind the ears and on the rear and sheds heavily; regular brushing to the skin and de-shedding is key.
Shaving risks the coat growing back poorly; keep it managed with de-shedding and light tidying instead.
Tiny nails overgrow fast, and the face and eye area benefit from routine cleaning.

Pomeranian grooming FAQs
Can I shave my Pomeranian in summer?
It's best not to. Poms are prone to coat problems after shaving, where the fur may not grow back properly. Regular de-shedding, brushing, and light tidying keep them comfortable without the risk.
Where does a Pomeranian mat the most?
Behind the ears, on the rear 'pants,' and under the legs where there's friction. Brushing these areas to the skin regularly, plus professional grooming, keeps the coat from packing into mats.
