Fun in Selecting Pom Clothes
Clothed dogs often make an impact whenever and wherever you happen to see them.  At times, cool Pomeranian clothing draw special attention, apart from being just a cute and fun accessory for your little angel.

Images of muscular Bulldogs in tight red sweaters proudly pulling their master down the street during an afternoon walk, tiny Chihuahuas in mini poncho jumpers, embellished with little sombrero, and of course the Wiener dogs in bright yellow raincoats warily gazing in the streets abound, but none of them compare to a clothed Pomeranian strutting his or her stuff in all his or her glory.

Boundless Selection
Choosing the right dog clothes for your dear pom can be both rewarding and fun. The variety of dog clothes available seems virtually endless. There is a increasingly wide range of cuts, styles, colors and fabrics to choose from.  Nevertheless, it is important to bear in mind some essential things when considering clothes for your Pomeranian? The major concern is, of course,  the fit. Above all else, the garment must provide comfort for your Pom’s unique body and must allow them to move freely anytime.

Buying clothing for dogs is similar to crafting your own unique wardrobe. There are some fitted garments, for example, that can fasten when the dog moves around or when they are jumping up onto your lap. So it is important to regard the body shape of your Pom, just as much as you consider your own body shape.

There are plenty of excellent reasons to deck out your Pom in fine threads. Yet flooded with the apparently infinite options of clothes for dogs, how does one avoid wasting their money on the wrong clothes? Research well and pick right!!! Remember, half the fun is in the shopping!!

Dog Clothing Features
First, regard the reasons for the purchase. You can categorize these according to the needs of your Pom. They need a set for home use, for street walking, or for special parties that your pet may be invited to attend.

However you should also consider if the clothes you decide on will squeeze your baby or make him or her uncomfortable in tight places and may cause problems. First, try to check professional dog clothes makers because they can guide you in properly sizing your dog after that you will have a better idea of the fit you are looking for. Additionally, the weight of your dog changes so that is also another essential thing to consider… especially in the spring… you’ll both be very disappointed if summer rolls around and one of you doesn’t fit into your beach attire.

For party clothes, always opt for fire-resistant fabrics. Opt also for dog clothes that have sufficient openings because you never know when your Pom will need to visit the powder room.

Garments for your pet dogs go further than just creating a fashion statement. Give them the proper body shelter that they need, add more fun by embellishing them with various adornments and special designs and you’ll both feel much better!

Beware of Chocolate!!!

If there is one important piece of information that you should forever etch in your mind to keep your pom alive for many years that should be to be very careful about chocolate… it is poison to your Pom!!! Yes, chocolates. Of course chocolate is enticing to kids and its wonderful to see their smiles the moment the mere subject of chocolate comes up, but you will not get the same reaction from Pomeranians simply because chemicals inside of some chocolates are pure poison to dogs.

The warning given on chocolate dog poisoning has actually surprised many dog lovers and very few Pom owners even know about this important information.

According to veterinary research, dogs love chocolates and giving them a small piece of it results in more craving. That means that your pom will jump at every chance to get a taste of any type of chocolate. They don’t know that certain types of this candy are more toxic than other kinds, and in small dogs like Pomeranians, this poison will travel through their system extremely quickly while larger amounts of chocolate can bring about epileptic seizures. What this translates to for Pomeranian is that it can kill them.

Why are chocolates lethal?

One of the ingredients of chocolate is Theobromine which is generally found in cocoa beans. Theobromine increases the need for urination and at the same time it also distresses the central nervous system and heart muscles. While amounts vary from case to case depending on the type of chocolate, it is the amount of Theobromine in the chocolate that can results in dog poisoning.

The Symptoms

Within a few hours of eating chocolate, your Pom may start to vomit. Other symptoms can include hyperactivity (which can be hard to identify with some more active Poms) and diarrhea. Within an hour, the amount of toxic substance absorbed will increase, this will result in an increase in heart rate increase for your pom. Poms normally have a very fast heartbeat and this increase causes too much stress on their little hearts. The result is restlessness, excessive panting, increased urination, muscle twitching, hyperactivity, and arrhythmia. Then these symptoms will invariably lead to seizures, muscle tremors, hypothermia, coma, and in extreme cases… death.

Be Prepared for an Accident

Every Pom owner should always be ready in case chocolate poisoning happens. Therefore, the knowledge of basic first aid and things to do in an emergency is vital.

First of all, do not panic and get yourself educated. The book Pomeranian Training Secrets is a great source of information for getting started. Easy first-aid treatment when your dog is hit with chocolate poisoning is to immediately take the chocolate away before the theobromine has a chance to circulate. Induce vomiting if its already been ingested and administer a charcoal slurry. The sooner this is done the less effect the poison will have.

To induce vomiting, drop three percent of hydrogen peroxide in your Pom’s mouth every 15 minutes until it vomits. Alternatively, use Ipecac Syrup. There is no need for a doctor prescription when buying this medicine. It is affordable and may be stored for a few years.

If you see that the chocolate poisoning has affected your Pomeranian, immediately take your pet to a veterinarian for medical care.

Always be careful with foods that you feed your Pom. Also teach your kids and the rest of the family members and friends about chocolate poisoning so they can also share this information with other dog-owner families and friends.
