Most people purchase their Pomeranian puppy around the age of 9 weeks when they have a
beautiful thick coat and then after a few weeks they wonder if they really purchased a purebred
Pomeranian or if they have been had! They sometimes think the Pom they bought has something
wrong with it since all it is losing all of its coat!

This is absolutely normal. Usually around 4 months of age, although it can be as late as 8 months,
Pomeranians go through a stage of what some call the "puppy uglies" where they shed their coat.
They look very awkward during this stage, however, it is important for the health of the skin and
coat that they go through this intense shed.

As the coat comes back in it is a very soft, fluffy coat (undercoat) and then eventually they will have
a beautiful coat that most of the time looks better than what they had in the beginning!

Below are pictures of Cody at different ages to show the different stages Pomeranians go through.
