Pomeranians face typical toy breed challenges plus breed-specific issues requiring careful screening
Extremely common in Pomeranians. OFA patella evaluation MANDATORY. Can require surgery costing $1,500-4,000 per knee. Both parents must have normal patellas.
Windpipe cartilage weakens causing honking cough. Progressive condition. Use harnesses, not collars. Can be life-threatening in severe cases.
Tiny mouths with overcrowded teeth. Need cleanings every 6-12 months. Many lose teeth by middle age. Daily brushing essential.
Hair loss disorder specific to Pomeranians. Causes baldness and skin darkening. No cure. More common in males. Check family history.
Toy breed puppies prone to low blood sugar. Can cause seizures or death. Puppies need frequent meals. Educate buyers thoroughly.
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and mitral valve disease occur. Annual cardiac evaluation recommended. Can develop at any age.
Cataracts, PRA, tear duct issues common. Annual CERF eye examinations required. Entropion can require surgery.
Idiopathic epilepsy occurs in breed. Usually appears by age 3. Controllable with medication but no genetic test available.
Pomeranians have SEVERE dental issues due to tiny mouths with full-size teeth. Most Poms have periodontal disease by age 2. Bacteria from infected teeth damages heart, kidneys, and liver. Many Pomeranians lose most teeth by middle age. Professional cleanings every 6-12 months cost $300-800 each. Daily tooth brushing is MANDATORY, not optional. Retained baby teeth common - need extraction. Educate ALL buyers about dental care or their dog will suffer. Bad teeth can shorten lifespan by years.
There is NO such thing as "Teacup" or "Micro" Pomeranians - these are marketing terms for undersized dogs. The breed standard is already tiny at 3-7 lbs. Breeding for extreme small size (under 3 lbs) is UNETHICAL and causes: Hypoglycemia (can be fatal), organ failure, bone fragility, inability to regulate temperature, higher anesthesia risks, shorter lifespan. "Throwback" Poms (10-20 lbs) are actually healthier. Never breed females under 4 lbs - pregnancy is too dangerous. Educate buyers that smaller is NOT better - it's a death sentence.
