COAT CARE
The tools we use every week on three Pomeranian coats.
-
The BrushChris Christensen Big G Slicker Brush
Reaches the skin on a Pom's double coat without breaking the guard hair. Essential for preventing mats before they form.
-
The SprayIsle of Dogs Lush Coating Brush Spray
Adds slip during brushing to reduce breakage and make line-grooming gentler, especially helpful for dry coats and winter static.

The CombChris Christensen Buttercomb (003)
The greyhound comb that confirms the brushing worked. Glide it through after the slicker brush. If it catches, there's still work to do.
-
The HarnessHUND Ålborg Cushioned Leather Harness
The only leather harness we've found that is truly trachea-safe for a Pom's delicate neck without sacrificing style. Front and top leash clips offer flexibility, too.
-
The LeashHUND København 6-Way Leather Leash
Converts to a 4', 5', or 6' leash. It can also be used as a cross-body or a two-dog leash. Handcrafted in Europe from Italian leather so you know it will look good for years to come.
-
The Paw WashDandylion Clean Paws Cleanser
Foam cleanser for muddy paws without the full rinse production. Pump, rub, wipe. We keep it by the door with a small towel.
A CLEAN, CALM HOME
What actually keeps our home liveable with three shedding dogs.
-
The VacuumDyson V12 Detect Slim
Our everyday vacuum for keeping fine Pom fur from quietly building up along baseboards and corners. The green laser light is a game-changer. It shows exactly where the fur is hiding on our hardwoods.
-
The GatePAWLAND Extra-Wide Tall Dog Gate
Our most reused item in the house. It's freestanding and works as a gate or configures into a pen. No wall damage and it doesn't look out of place in a real room.
-
The BedBedsure ComfyFleece™ Orthopedic Dog Bed
Our puppy claimed it immediately, but our other Poms sneak a nap when they can. Washable cover with waterproof lining and bolsters that help Poms sleep in whichever position they want.
-
The PurifierDyson PC1 Air Purifier
Our bedroom unit, sealed to HEPA H13 and doubles as a cooling fan. If you want the best value air filter for the money, the Coway Airmega Mighty * is the one to get first.
-
The FountainPetLibro Dockstream Fountain (PLWF105)
Beignet went from barely touching a standing bowl to drinking from the fountain daily. Running water does something a still bowl doesn't, and the app alerts for empty tanks and filter changes mean it never quietly runs dry.
