Many people seeking an energetic dog to be their exercise companion or family playmate are overwhelmed by the energy levels and sheer size of larger breeds. The Pomeranian is an ideal alternative for families with small children, apartment dwellers, or anyone who wants to only spend a fraction of what it would cost to feed a 60lb Labrador Retriever!
Pomeranians are the perfect pet for many environments and families. From the single, city apartment-dweller to a family with several children in the country, the Pomeranian can have a happy home and enrich the lives of those around it. They are cheerful and energetic; they are exemplary of the toy group. They tend to prefer to chew on toys and stay away from your furniture or shoes.
Because of their compact size, Pomeranians are very easy to care for. They rarely require stays at boarding facilities or extended periods home alone, as they are so small they can travel almost anywhere with their owners! They do require weekly brushing to keep their lush hair looking groomed. A small, soft carrier can house your Pomeranian during daily errands or on a long car trip. Typically weighing in at five pounds or less, the Pomeranian is a very portable little pooch and will be happy to travel with you.
The Pomeranian can easily adapt to apartment or condo life so long as it has the opportunity to enjoy local parks or regular long walks. If living in a house with a yard, your Pomeranian will love to run and play in it! If there is ample space indoors, there is no reason you couldn't play fetch or run with your new pup inside, as well. Dog parks are a good option for city-dwelling Pomeranian owners, as most Pomeranians are sociable and enjoy playing with other dogs.
Your Pomeranian will certainly keep up with you throughout your daily activities, whether he or she is accompanying you on errands, going for a morning jog, or chasing your vacuum cleaner across the floor. They love to go for long rides in the car and experience all the sights and sounds of city life. While a Pomeranian will keep bouncing alongside you as long as you are moving, they also enjoy a nice relaxing nap at your side, complete with lots of petting. They love to please and will make the perfect addition to any family's household.
