Your Pomeranian’s Personalised Genetic Information Book
Personalised Genetic Vet Care is a program using the latest genetic information to personalise your pet’s
health care.
Your Pomeranian’s personalised genetic information book forms the basis of your pet’s health care and
general wellness program. A summary of the book contents is provided below:
Chapter 1: Ancestral genetics (3 pages)
General Breed Description:
The Pomeranian, also known affectionately as the Pom, is a toy breed of a small and compact stature.
They have a characteristic “foxy” look due to their alert expression with high set, erect ears and tapering,
pointed muzzle…
History:
The Pomeranian descends from Sptiz type dogs (especially the German Spitz) that were large working
dogs from the Arctic regions of Russia and Europe. The Pomeranian is known as the “Dwarf Spitz”
(Zwergspitz) in many countries…
Breed Temperament and Behaviour:
The Pom is a lively and inquisitive dog. They have a reputation for being friendly and affectionate, and
being excellent at learning tricks. They bond closely with their owners and love to play, although they are
not usually clingy...
Requirements/Needs:
The Pom does not require much formal exercise but does need time for play and releasing a bit of energy
every day like a daily walk to get them out and about. The coat needs a good brush every couple of days to
stop it matting…
Best Suited for:
Well suited to apartment living, singles, elderly people and couch potatoes, the Pomeranian is not
necessarily suited to small children…
Chapter 2: Genetic Disease (7 pages)
This section contains a detailed description of the 10 most significant diseases particularly common to the
Pomeranian. Information includes screening for, diagnosis and treatment of these conditions.
Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)
PDA is the most common congenital heart defect in dogs and has a high degree of heritability in some
breeds including the Pomeranian. It involves the ductus arteriosus which directs blood away from the lungs
and to the central circulation whilst the foetus is in the uterus. Normally this duct closes within a few weeks
of birth but for affected dogs, the duct fails to close…
Hypothyroidism
This is the most common endocrine disease in dogs and is the result of damage to the thyroid gland. It is
commonly seen in Pomeranians. It is a complex and progressive disease that is often not diagnosed until
signs are well progressed, as early signs are vague and can vary widely. Signs may consist of reduced energy
levels or increased susceptibility to infections…
Chapter 3: Caring for your puppy (3 pages)
This chapter provides you with a lifetime personalised wellness program for your Pomeranian with a recommended vet visit schedule by age. Your vet can work through this schedule with you to create the most
appropriate preventative and protective approach specifically for your Pomeranian…
Chapter 4: Behaviour and training (4 pages)
Dogs are very social animals, and your Pomeranian puppy needs to be indoors with the family from the start.
There is no such thing as a “good outdoor dog”. Pomeranian puppies need to learn how to behave around
different animals and people from a young age. This is called socialisation, and it is essential to prevent
your puppy growing up to have problems with nervousness and aggression…
Chapter 5: Games (8 pages)
Just like us, puppies and dogs will get bored doing the same thing every day. You will soon learn that there
are certain types of games that your dog enjoys more than others – for example, terriers often love to dig,
while collies and working dogs will run all day…
Chapter 6: Nutrition (11 pages)
Good nutrition is essential for your dog to have a healthy, happy life. It is critical that your Pomeranian receives the correct amounts of energy, protein, fatty acids, carbohydrates and trace minerals and nutrients
for growth as well as maintenance of a healthy body and brain. Nutrition is also vital to a dog’s ability to
think clearly, as thinking requires mental energy and the correct amino acid balance for the maintenance of
normal brain chemistry...
Chapter 7: Dental health (1 page)
You may have heard some advice about keeping your dog’s teeth clean. Many people have many different
opinions on this topic. The best way to care for your Pomeranian’s teeth and oral health is to manually clean
his teeth. This is not as weird as it sounds, and if you start when your puppy is young, is generally not hard
to do...
