Pomeranians are tiny spitz-type companion dogs with a bright expression, bold personality, and plush double coat. They are often alert, animated, and attached to their families. Their small size keeps food volume low, but the coat needs regular brushing and can mat without attention. Owners should also budget for dental care and routine prevention, because small size does not eliminate the usual long-term care costs.
