When doing a Pomeranian hair cut you first want to start by washing your Pomeranian. The most important thing is to make sure you don’t get water in the eyes, nose or ears when washing your Pomeranian. To protect the ears from water you can place cotton balls in the ears. Once you have bathed your Pomeranian you can towel dry them before gently blow drying. While blow drying you should use a soft slicker brush and brush the hair in the direction of the head. You can either buy a dryer specifically for dogs or you can choose to use a human hair dryer, just be sure to use it on the low heat setting otherwise you can aggravate the skin and dry out the hair.
Then when it comes time to do the Pomeranian hair cut you want to start with the head and specifically the ear tips. This can be hard since you don’t want to cut the actual ear. The best way to prevent this is by pinching the ear leather between your fingers so they act as a protective barrier.
Cut at a horizontal angle when trimming the tips of the ears, to do this make sure your scissors are parallel to the dogs eyes while you are cutting. On your second cut make a slightly tilted angle. This will provide the ears with a softer angle that keeps the ears from looking too pointy. Next you should brush the hair around the head towards the front of the dog. Cut away any excess hair you see in order to give a circular shape when viewed from the front.
When doing a Pomeranian hair cut it is a good idea to have your fingers as guides just in case the Pomeranian decides to suddenly leap forward. The next step is to brush all the chest hair up and trim it at an angle that points towards the knee to give the dog a tidy appearance. This also provides the Pomeranian with a standard circular appearance when looked at from the side.
Next you should move on to the body. Trims the hair underneath in a semi-circular shape while viewing the dog from the side. Start the Pomeranian hair cut about one third up the back of the front leg and then continue in a semi-circular shape until you end about one third of the way up the back leg. You can adjust the cut in order to fit the length of your dog’s legs. At the same time trim away any excess hair that is sticking out of the midriff. For the tail you should trim around the base to give a tidy shape. Then twist the end of the tail and hold it straight up the dogs back. Cut the length wherever you think it will lay best.
The last step in a Pomeranian hair cut is to trim away hair on the feet that causes the rabbit foot look. You will also need to trim underneath the feet which requires you to place the dog on their back since this provides the most control over the dog and scissors.
