How to cut the hair of a Pomeranian? Cutting the hair of a Pomeranian can be divided into three parts; on the face, the long hair on the mandible, eyebrows and the hair growing under the lips should also be cut off; on the legs, the hair on the toes and toes should be cut off. Cut off the long hair and keep it clean; use small scissors to cut off all the long hair on the soles of the feet that grows from the toe tips and covers the balls.

Facial scissors:

1. Mandible: The long hair on the lower jaw is not only useless, but also affects the appearance of the face, so the excess should be cut off.

2. Eyebrows: When cutting eyebrows, the scissors should not be pointed at the eyes to prevent the Pomeranian from hurting the eyes when it moves around.

3. Lip edges: The hair growing under the lips should also be cut off. When cutting, you should first hold down its lips to prevent it from causing damage when it suddenly moves. Please note that beards cannot be cut blindly, as they are important detectors for Pomeranians!

Leg scissors:

The legs are the most easily soiled part of a Pomeranian. If the hair on the feet grows too long, it will not only be inconvenient to walk, but also easily contaminated by dust and germs. Therefore, you should cut off the hair on your toes and the long hair growing on your toes to keep them clean and comfortable.

1. Toes: Use small scissors to cut the hair on the toes to a length that can cover the nails, so that the hair tips just touch the ground when walking. Then use shears to cut the hair growing between the toes into a natural round shape.

2. Front legs: Use a wooden comb to straighten the hair, and use small scissors to cut off the long hair. In order to make it look more natural, don't cut them all to the same length. Adjust the length appropriately according to the outline of the leg.

3. Hind legs: If the hair on the hind legs grows too long, it will give people a heavy feeling. Just use shears to cut it into a natural shape. But be careful not to cut too much and pay attention to the overall balance.

The hair on the soles of the feet is often cut:

The soles of the feet are a part of the Pomeranian's heat dissipation, and a lot of hair will grow between the gaps between the meat balls. If this part of the hair grows too long, it will cover the meat ball, making the Pomeranian unable to stretch and contract freely when walking, and it is easy to slip and fall when walking on smooth ground, and it is also not conducive to heat dissipation.

In addition, if the hair on the feet grows too long, it is easy to absorb dust and dirt, or it may be stained with a lot of water when walking in humid and water-filled areas, creating conditions for bacteria to breed, thus causing skin diseases. Therefore, you should often cut the hair on the soles of your feet that is too long to keep your feet tidy. The hair on the feet grows very fast, so every time you cut it, try to cut it as short as possible, but be careful not to cut the skin, and fix the feet before cutting. In addition, the meatball itself also has a lot of hair, so don’t forget to trim it.

When cutting, use small scissors to cut off all the long hair that grows from the toe tips and covers the flesh balls. When cutting, use your fingers to push the meat ball to the left and right to confirm the position of the hair, and then use scissors to cut off the long hair against the edge of the meat ball to avoid hurting the toes.
