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.

Once the bath is complete you can towel dry before blow drying. Use a soft slicker brush while blow drying and brush in the direction of the head. You don’t have to buy a blow dryer specifically for dogs as long as you use a human hair dryer on the low heat setting otherwise you can dry out the hair and aggravate the skin.

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.

When you are trimming the ears you should cut at a horizontal angle. A good guide to use for this is to make sure your scissors are held parallel to the dogs eyes while cutting. Make a slightly tilted angle on your second cut. This gives the ears a softer angle that prevents them from appearing too pointy. Next be sure to brush towards the front all the hair around the head. Give the face a circular shape when viewed from the front by cutting away any excess hair.

A good tip when doing a Pomeranian hair cut is to use your fingers as guides in case the Pomeranian decides to suddenly leap forward. Next you want to brush the chest hair up and then trim at an angle that points towards their knee to present a tidy appearance. This also allows the Pomeranian to have the standard circular appearance when viewed from the side.

Now you can move on to the body. Turn the dog sideways and trim the hairs underneath in a semi-circular shape. You should start your Pomeranian hair cut about one third up the back of the front leg and go in a semi-circular shape from there, ideally ending about one third of the way up on the back leg, although you can adjust this cut to fit the length of your Pomeranian’s legs. If there are any excess hairs sticking out of the midriff section then you should trim them away.

The cut can be adjusted in order to fit the length of your dog’s legs. At the same time you can cut away any excess hair that is sticking out of the midriff. Trim the base of the tail in order to give a tidy shape. After twisting the end of the tail hold it straight up the dogs back. Wherever you think the tail will lay best is where you should cut the length.

The last part of a Pomeranian hair cut is to trim the hair on the feet that gives the dog a rabbit foot look. You also need to trim hairs underneath the feet. Placing your dog on their back is the best way to control both the dog and the scissors.
