What a good boy! So well behaved and he keeps looking at you to see if he's being good. So precious.
🤗😍 I noticed the same, he looks a bit like my pom, Yogi too. Angels
I love the way the groomer baby talks the pom pom. ❤
I have a new found appreciation for dog groomers after seeing this video! It is a lot of work to do a great job. I also see why it makes more sense to take your dog to a dog groomer. There is no way I could do as good of a job as you did here. You are worth every penny your charge. I also see many places where the dog could be hurt unless the groomer knows what they are doing. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much.
This is the most informative Pomeranian grooming video I have seen. I am endeavoring to do my own grooming on my Pom. I am aware of not cutting the coat too short but did not know about the red fur versus the white.
He came out beautiful. But I shouldn't be surprised. Your an amazing groomer.
I really learned a lot by watching your video. I've had my pomeranian groomed by several local groomers in the town I live in and to my horror the last time he came out, she had shaved him. He had some matting but they took the lazy way out. After watching your video I see what she could have done instead...it was all about not taking the time and about money!
Great video and extremely helpful in knowing just how short a Pom should be groomed. There are too many Poms dealing with alopecia due to being groomed way too short into their undercoat. Great groom thank you! ❤
I am so glad to see you grooming a Pom. I have been researching the breed for 3yrs. I have been wanting to see, in real time, the grooming process. Thank you for sharing.
Our pleasure!
They are fun to groom and manageable if you keep on top of things. I home groomed my boy for 14 joyous years and miss the cute bum😂
thankyou SOOO much for being sweet and gentle with grooming the pom. i watched a video the other day and the groomer was quite aggravated with the dog AND i was upset that she used the neck leash on him!!!! I lost my pom last year and im still heartbroken.
Beautiful trim. Wish I'd seen this when I was grooming a lot of pet poms!
Excellent educational video! Thank you for sharing, Suzanne. Simba looks so adorable in his custom made bandana!
Thank you! 😊
Be still my POM ♥️♥️♥️This was a joy to⌚!!! That close up on the head shake and all your cool tools, master skills and tips...thanks Suzanne!
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent video, love the editing with the slo-mo head shake. Also very good idea you included some images of post clipping induced alopecia, belongs in anyone's video, as a warning which can be shown to owners that do want a short cut/shavedown.
Thank you for this comprehensive video. I've been researching Poms to see if they will be a good fit for my family and if I can do the grooming myself. This was a beautiful cut and this pom was such a great client.
EXCELLENT video and so true about the damage you can cause to your Pom’s coat if you cut it too short. Love the cut! 🥰
Awesome video- I’ve taught myself how to groom my two Poms- as a former hair stylist, I fell into this out of necessity, and love for the breed! I adore my chunkers, too!! ❤
Thank you. Pomeranians are adorable 🥰
A really helpful video now I have started grooming my Pom at home. Still, I wish that groomer lived nearby - she’s wonderful!
What an amazing video, thank you for showing us the combs and brushes!
Love that the noise of the drying is not overwhelming! 😍Thank you💖
You’re welcome 😊
@@grandestyledoggrooming i have a black pomeranian client. The pet parent is 75yo. He wants me to cut the body short (not to brush)and leave the main. I explained about the fur problem. I scissor and leave around 1,5 inch. I dont think the hair is in danger, but would love to have your opinion if I have to readjust. Thank you 💖
Some dogs do just fine with the hair cut short. I have made up my mind to be adamant about keeping them in proper coat in my salon. But I am fully understanding that some pet parents insist, and it's ultimately their choice. I simply refer them out, because I personally don't want to be the one to potentially ruin the coat.
Best grooming video I seen! She makes it look easy!
This video was incredibly helpful. I am new to this, and love the amount of detail that went into this video. Thank you!!!
That is one pampered pet , I had one that looked almost identical. I loved that dog . He was so smart and sweet to anyone and everyone. If you had a hat on he would make his way up to get that hat off and run away with it 🙂 I sure miss him!
Thank you for this video. Very helpful.
Amazing video! Thank you so much, it’s so difficult to find resources I can trust regarding Pomeranians
Our beautiful Pomeranian began losing her hair at age 2 after she was groomed with the Teddy Bear cut. She is now 5 years old and only has hair on her head and feet. We still love her dearly, but will follow your advice with our next Pom. Thank you for the great video!
It’s sad when it happens.
You are amazing. Once my Pom puppy gets his adult coat fully grown in I hope I am lucky enough to find someone as skilled & knowledgeable as you are. He will be a Red Sable like both his parents once he loses his puppy fluff and gets his two layer adult coat. You have definitely invested in all the proper tools & products which is so essential. I love your sweet baby talk to destress the dog. Simba is very good & patient but your handling has a lot to do with it. Where are you located? (I'm in Edmonton, Canada.) Looking forward to more of your Pom videos.
I’ve never heard of chunkers. I have two Poms and really need to groom them myself. Thanks for the tips
Once again - awesome job !
Thank you! Cheers!
I LOVE Simba! He looks so much like our Sandman that passed 3 yrs ago. 😢
Beautiful job! I just got a Pom puppy nefore Thanksgiving and am learning so much about grooming them. Thank you for this video!
I am so happy that you are learning about their coat. Here is a great article that explains it. www.groomertogroomer.com/grooming-the-primitive-coat/
Thanks for sharing your video❤
Great video!
So glad to find this video! I've noticed a lot of Poms online who have alopecia, including my own. Makes me wonder if it's all from too-short trims? Most of my Pom's guard hairs never grew back, after a 1" long trim. She's all just fuzzy undercoat. Was it the trim?
Great job! Cute dog and great info
You are so kind
Pretty pup 💜💜
Such a beautiful dog
What a wonderful conscientious groomer. I have a pom/sheltie mix hoing for his first groom soon and wanted him taken down shorter. After watching this video, I'm going to be much more conservative and keep him longer to be on the safe side. TKS FOR THE VIDEO ❤
Wishing you a blessed day Suzanne 🙏💗😊💞🐕🐩🐶🥰
Thanks so much
Suzanne, I've been looking at shears for weeks now. Last night, I bought the Chris Christensen classic series 4 pc set for $250.00 with free shipping. I hope this set will get me started. I still have my eye on the Artero curvy shear and the Artero chunker curvy shears which are $179.00. I tried to look at the site for your curvy chunkers but their website is under construction. Maybe now I can give my Pom Loulou a proper trim. I haven't cut into her outer coat, like you've said. She has a coat which looks like a combination of the 2 Simba's coats.
I love this cut! I have 2 Pom’s and I do my own grooming. I love the long hair look and sanitary trim. I do the tail in a fan shape though. I didn’t know about the combing and I’m afraid I took out all the undercoat on both dogs because I comb until I pass the comb through. Then I use a wire brush and then a pin brush. They are brushed right from the skin. Is it too late? Will the undercoat grow back? One of mine has more hair than fur. She sheds her coat a lot when I comb her.
Great video. Simba looked super cute when he was done Suzanne
😊 thank you
Wow You are awesome with him!
Thanks!
Thank you 😊
Fantastic video. 😊 Thank you. Beautiful job. If you have any Cavaliers would love to see a video on that breed that get trimmed but not shaved.
Will do! I will upload one by the 20th of September.
@@grandestyledoggrooming Thank you 😊
Thank you so much! You must have more than one Simba who goes to your shop. The other one seemed larger, and fluffier, with darker hair. I can't wat to get some chunkers and curved thinning shears!
Yes. This is Saturday Simba, the other is Friday Simba.
@@grandestyledoggrooming OK! Thanks!
My 9 year old pomeranian didn't get alopecia until 2 years ago when a groomer was confused about what I wanted. Now he has no fur on the back of his legs. I was so upset when I picked him up from the groomer that day. I love him so much and he is so hamdsome from the front.
This is why it’s so important for groomers to educate themselves and know that even if a client does ask for something that will damage the coat, they should say no. Or at the very least, educate the client.
@grandestyledoggrooming 100% I knew that I never wanted my pomeranian to be shaved... she told me she didn't use a razor. But the expensive vet bills trying to fix it afterward were crazy.
@grandestyledoggrooming what is very unfortunate is that there is nothing you can do after a dog has lost their hair. Pomeranians should NEVER have a short haircut. My pom pom Sonic is healthy, and he doesn't know he's missing hair.
I have a Pom Pom that jumped in my car at my sons bus 🚌 stop and I’m so thankful for this! Were his forever ♾️ family 🩵
I just adopted one last week and we are in love with him, he's part of the family now forever same as yours will be in sure !😊
My Pom’s love to be brushed. They are so sweet.
Just what I was hoping to see . Sadly my Pom is black all over so I’m still unsure how short is safe. The chunker scissors look to be key in getting a good outcome so I’ll have to get a pair. Thanks
Vilken bra pojke! Så väluppfostrad och han fortsätter att titta på dig ,för att se om han mår bra. Så värdefullt. Smart frisör. Mild Pomeranian hund. Är rasen Pomeranian hund så snäll? Är det specifikt för rasen Pomeranian? Moders kärlek !!!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!! I now am finally a Pom mom!! Yo my lovely girl Mercury!
Wonderful!
Congrats Mary, they are a wonderful breed!
Beautiful
Thank you
Great job!! And what a lovely, well behaved little dog
Beautiful job. I hate to see them cut any shorter.
These Pomeranian dogs are both cute and gentle 😛
Great vid, such an awesome technique and a cute puppy, thank you for sharing!!!!
You are so welcome!
Wow ! was not aware dogs could get alopecia. Am considering getting a Pomeranian. Very useful information. Where is your shop located & is Suzanne still with you ? 💖
In Tampa Florida, and yes Suzanne is the head groomer here.
My Pom is about 6 months old, and nearly solid black, so I'm very unsure on how short I can groom her. I also only have regular scissors and a pet trimmer that I use on my other dog. I've learned a lot from watching this video! I'm still unsure on how to groom my Lillith bc she is quite as floofy and she's all one color so I can't tell the safe hair to cut from the unsafe.
What a good little dog. I have a 1/2 longhaired chihuahua and 1/2 pomeranian. No way would he let me do any messing with his feet.
Suzanne, did you use the Artero 6.5" curvy shear?
Yes, on the feet and bum
Quite the thunderstorm passing by.
👏
Hi Suzanne, do you know the numbers for the artero brushes you use?

Thank you
The Pom said 😛 the whole video
Do you just allow all his hair to fly everywhere when blow-drying? Or how do you control the blowout?
I clean up afterwards.
What shears and thinners did you use??
V3 brand
What do you use to clean eye stains?
I have not found anything that works.
I have recently adopted a pom and would like to take her to a groomer but was put off when a young lady passed me by, in a shopping precinct and said my little was a German Spitz, and that she should know as she was a groomer. Sometime after I was walking into a shop, and the first thing the owner said was, my little one was a Pom, and that she was a breeder. I pointed out the above, and she just shook her head. I am going to study this video. Other videos have warned me not to touch the coat.
It's best to not even trim as much as I did here. This is as short as I will go.
Wow! my pom is matted and needs to be shaved. but im going to try and comb him out.
Use a pin brush, not a comb.
Do you have tips on cutting black nails ?

Thank you so much. I am watching for the second time. When I received my Pom as a pup, she wouldn’t let us even touch her bum. It took about 6 months of frequent touching with a baby brush, before she would even accept a bum touch with a brush. When we reached this stage, she was about 9 months old, she finally allowed a pin brush, but, we were losing the fur blowout battle at the same time. We reached around, and there were no groomers in my area that would accept a new client. So we went to a local chain-store dog groomer, as our dog needed more than I could provide. When we picked up our pup, she was shaking, drooling, and was terrified. I don’t know what happened, I didn’t see, so I cannot speculate. So now I was back to square one. Daily, we work on brushing, 90% of the time introducing the tools, exposure therapy for dogs 🤔 😊. So now my pup is 2 years, and and only allows me to groom her. Just since seeing your video, I realize I have ruined her top coat and all the videos I saw did not teach me like you. So I have mattes and I feel like I failed my pup! My puppy sure tolerates a lot when I groom her 🥰 she trusts me so much now.
I just noticed your entire Pom grooming playlist. Thank you ❤
You are an Amazing Groomer! I can tell how.much you adore your clients.
My Pomeranian dog is nasty he doesn’t like to have a grooming or someone cutting his hair he growls ,but anyway I still missed him very much he passed away on June 15 2020 😢😢😢
My toy pom is suffering from post clipping alopecia,😢 what should I do
Give it time, it may resolve with no more trimming.
Using oatmeal shampoo and conditioner when you bathe, and regularly massaging with your fingers or a rubber curry to help stimulate the hair follicles, may help the skin and coat to recover. And never underestimate the importance of good gut health for a healthy skin and coat! There are gut health supplements or treats available to help maintain a good microbiome in the dog's digestive system.
❤❤😊
Vanilla toe beans !
They should never have their fur cut down, even FCI says this!
Correct.
Non gli ha lavato gli occhi e il muso. Perchè?
Why are u cutting the tail blunt…it looks so much better if it looks like a plume
That is how the pet parent likes it.
I like the grooming technique but this is MUCH TOO SHORT! A Pom’s beauty is its fur….why cut it so short?
It’s much longer than the pet parents want. I almost lost them for a client because I didn’t want to go this short.
Really? My Pom has 50% less fur than you showed after grooming. I asked for a lamb cut and he looks great. I got a rehomed Pom and my last dog was a chihuahua and I am not wanting fur everywhere or to do constant brushing. This was it's easier for me. You are the first person to say they wouldn't cut their fur shorter.
She is a professional, she knows what she’s saying. A lot of Pomeranians suffer from alopecia after groomers cut their hair. You might have lucked out but that doesn’t mean that it won’t happen in the future.
I would say that a percentage grow back normally. But it is always a possibility with some that they will not grow back. I don’t want to be the one to cause permanent coat damage. I refer out clients who insist on a short trim to a facility that offers the short trims.
Some dogs grow back reasonably well for the first few years but find it harder and harder to regrow their coat properly the older they get. And the undercoat always grows back woolier and denser, which actually means more dead fur in your house! If you're getting them clipped to reduce shedding, always remember: they still have the same number of hairs in their coat, but now they're shorter and sneakier and sharper and will burrow into skin and cloth! A good demoult will do far more to reduce shedding. Besides, destroying the outer layer of the coat strongly reduces the dog's ability to thermoregulate, since the guard hairs reflect a lot of heat: together with the woolier undercoat, that means your dog will actually be hotter, despite the shorter coat.
I’m a Pom owner and I live in Las Vegas . My groomer does what I tell her I WANT ….not what “ she thinks “ I should do to MY DOG 🙄 if I want to shave my dog and dye it pink…it’s nobody’s business but my own . I’m also flabbergasted by “ Groomers “ giving medical and or breeding advice . As a retired Veterinary Tech of 20 years …it’s just amusing.
Considering that I was raised at a large breeding facility and that I have spent every day for 57 years in breeding, boarding, and grooming establishments, I do find my self qualified. That being said, I never ever shame a pet parent for wanting what they want. That is totally understandable. In my salon I have my standards. My choice. I simply refer out clients who want something different. Being a vet tech for 20 years, I am surprised that you never once saw post clipping alopecia.
Pure nonsense her fur is still too long! Yet I'm in Florida so it needs to be short! Also the fur around their eyes needs to be washed daily!
When you cut down a Pomeranian coat, severe damage can indeed be done to it.
You are so sweet and gentile, the way you trim that beautiful pom! Out pet saloons in Luxembourg treated my poms so bad they are now so terrified. I will need to lean to do it myself.
I know what you mean. It’s really important to find the tools that don’t drag and pull in the dogs coat. That makes all of the difference.
Thanks!
Thank you!
My Pom’s love to be brushed. They are so sweet.
