| POMERANIAN... THE LITTLE DOG WHO THINKS IT CAN!!!! |
| ON THIS PAGE YOU WILL FIND INFORMATION WHICH WILL HELP KEEP YOUR NEW BABY SAFE IN HIS/HER NEW HOME... |
| WHEN YOU BRING YOUR POM INTO YOUR HOUSEHOLD YOU CAN EXPECT AN ENTERTAINING AND LOVING COMPANION, BUT YOU CANNOT EXPECT TO GET A DOG THAT IS A PLAYMATE FOR YOUR SMALL CHILDREN. |
| BRINGING YOUR PUPPY HOME... WHEN YOU GET HOME EVERYONE WILL WANT TO HOLD OR TOUCH THE PUPPY. DON'T OVERDO IT. ESPECIALLY DON'T ALLOW CHILDREN IN THE HOUSEHOLD TO HANDLE HIM ALOT. LET THEM PET HIS HEAD OR TOUCH HIM IN THE CRATE, RESERVING MORE ACTIVITY FOR A FEW DAYS LATER. THE STRESS OF LEAVING HIS LITTERMATES AND ADJUSTING TO A STRANGE ENVIRONMENT WILL STRAIN THIS LITTLE BABY. CUDDLE AND PLAY WITH HIM BUT ALSO GIVE HIM PLENTY OF REST. DURING THE FIRST MONTH YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE HIM FOOTWISE. A POM PUPPY RUNNING UNDER YOUR FEET NOT ONLY ENDANGERS HIMSELF, BUT CAN CAUSE YOU TO TAKE A NASTY FALL. TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM, START TEACHING HIM TO STAY AWAY FROM YOUR FEET. SCOOT YOUR FEET FOR THE FIRST FEW WEEKS UNTIL YOUR PUPPY IS FOOTWISE. |
| UNSAFE FOODS FOR YOU NEW LITTLE ONE INCLUDE... CHOCOLATE, GRAPES, RAISINS, AND SAUSAGE. IT IS BEST TO AVOID ALL SPICY AND GREASY SNACKS. |
| *YOU WILL WANT TO GET YOUR NEW BABY TOYS WHICH OF COURSE I THINK IS GREAT BUT PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU CHOSE FOR THEM!!! YOU DO NOT WANT TO GET THEM TOYS WITH PARTS THEY CAN CHEW OFF AND YOU DO NOT WANT TO GET THEM RAWHIDE, UNFORTUNATELY I KNOW SEVERAL POM OWNERS WHO HAVE LOST THEIR POMS DUE TO CHOKING ON RAWHIDE SO PLEASE DO NOT GET THESE FOR YOUR BABIES. I KNOW THEY ARE SPECIFICALLY MADE FOR DOGS BUT BECAUSE POMS ARE SO TINY THEY CAN CHOKE VERY EASILY ON A SMALL PIECE THAT THEY MAY CHEW OFF. THERE ARE LOTS OF SAFE TOYS AND TREATS OUT THERE FOR YOUR BABY - JUST KEEP IN MIND THE SIZE OF YOUR BABY WHEN CHOOSING HIS/HER TOYS AND TREATS ;-) |
| THERE ARE A FEW THINGS IN OUR EVERYDAY LIVES THAT WE WOULD NEVER CONSIDER AS DANGERS TO OUR FURBABIES, THESE THINGS INCLUDE... |
| *RECLINER CHAIRS, BE SURE YOUR LITTLE ONE IS NOT UNDER THE FOOTREST WHEN YOU PUT IT DOWN. |
| *COLORED MULCH AND SEVERAL PLANTS ARE POISNOUS TO ANY DOG! PLEASE SUPERVISE YOUR POM WHEN HE/SHE IS OUTDOORS PLAYING. AN EXERCISE PEN WILL HELP KEEP YOUR BABY SAFE. |
| *DO NOT LEAVE YOUR LITTLE ONE UNATTENED ON FURNITURE, POMS HAVE VERY LITTLE FEAR, THEY WOULD NOT THINK TWICE ABOUT JUMPING DOWN OFF OF HIGH FURNITURE. |
| *PUPPIES LOVE TO CHEW, PLEASE BE SURE ALL ELECTRICAL CORDS ARE UP OUT OF PUPPIES REACH. |
