Health and Nutrition

Ensuring your Pomsky is well-fed and well-exercised is the secret sauce to their wagging tails and vibrant spirits. Our expert advice covers selecting the perfect chow, measuring out just the right amount of kibble, and crafting a workout schedule that keeps your Pomsky bouncing with joy and health. Remember, Pomskies are the charming result of a Pomeranian and Siberian Husky love story, so their dietary needs are as special as their fluffy lineage!

Proper nutrition is essential for their health and well-being.

Here are some suggestions for a balanced diet for your Pomsky pup:

  1. High-Quality Dog Food:

    • Choose premium dog food specifically formulated for small to medium-sized breeds.
    • We like to feed our dogs food that contain proteins like Lamb, venison, Bison, or Salmon as the primary ingredient.
    • Avoid foods with excessive fillers, artificial additives, or by-products.

  2. Protein:

    • Protein is crucial for muscle development and overall health.
    • Aim for a diet with 25-30% protein content.
    • Sources: Lean meats, fish, eggs, and high-quality dog food.
      • Our dogs are fed 4HEALTH Dog food (SALMON and SWEET POTATO) For our ADULT dogs
      • OUR PUPPIES GET 4HEALTH PUPPY that we soften with WATER till they are big enough to eat it hard

  3. Healthy Fats:

    • Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids promote healthy skin, coat, and brain function.
    • Include sources like fish oil or flaxseed oil. We at Mt. Hood Pomskies adds Fish oil to the top of our dogs food (they love it). We use Alaskan salmon fish oil. 

  4. SUPPLEMENTS/VITAMINS

    • We send you home with their current supplements Nuvet Dog supplement company, and we stand by them. Their supplements are amazing, and the Pups love them. 

  5. Carbohydrates:

  6. Fiber:

    • Fiber aids digestion and maintains a healthy weight.
    • Vegetables like carrots and green beans are excellent choices.

  7. Portion Control:

  8. Fresh Water:

    • Always provide clean, fresh water for your Pomsky.

Remember, consult your veterinarian to tailor a nutrition plan that suits your individual Pomsky’s needs! 🐾❤️

Grooming and Hygiene:

Proper grooming is crucial for a Pomsky's health and well-being. It involves using the right tools and techniques, as well as adhering to a regular grooming schedule. For maintaining your Pomsky's luxurious coat, nails, and overall cleanliness, it's essential to understand the specifics of their grooming needs. Regular brushing, bathing, and nail care are all part of a comprehensive grooming routine that ensures your Pomsky stays happy and healthy.

Grooming a Pomsky is essential for maintaining their health and appearance. As a delightful crossbreed between a Pomeranian and a Siberian Husky, Pomskies have thick double coats that require regular care.

Here are some grooming tips:

Bathing your Pomsky is like defusing a furry bomb – do it wrong, and you'll have fluff everywhere!

Before the splashdown, give them a good brush to avoid clogging your drain with a furball. Lather up with a pooch-friendly shampoo for that sensitive skin, then rinse like you're searching for the last soap bubble. Towel-dry or blow-dry on the 'I'm-not-a-hairdresser' setting, or treat them to a spa day with a pro blowout.

But REMEMBER!!!  Shaving them is a BIG NO-NO!– it's like taking scissors to a winter coat!

Double Coat Armor: Think of a Pomsky's double coat as their superhero suit – it keeps them toasty in the tundra and chill in the desert. Shaving them down would be like sending them out in their undies – too much sun and shivers! Plus, their fur might grow back like a patchy lawn, and nobody wants a scruffy sidekick.

Skin Infections and Coat Woes: Shaving could turn your Pomsky into an itchy, scratchy mess, with more spots than a Dalmatian. Keep their coat au naturel, brush regularly, and just trim the bits that look like they need a tidy. After all, their fluff is part of their superpower – and it's in the contract, so stick to the hero code and keep the razor away! 🐾❤️

Brushing Basics: Start at the neck – the gateway to fluff city – and work your way to the tail. Use a slicker brush for the knots that think they're unsolvable puzzles, and switch to a comb for a fur-detox. For the delicate zones, like ears and paws, go gentle with a fine-tooth comb. Keep up the grooming, and your Pomsky will be the envy of the dog park – fluffy, fabulous, and ready for action!

Training and Socialization

 

Proper training and socialization are vital for a well-adjusted and well-behaved Pomsky. Discover effective training methods, socialization tips, and the importance of early training for your Pomsky puppy.

Here are some tips to help you train your Pomsky effectively:

  1. Start Early:

    • Begin training as soon as you bring your Pomsky home. Early socialization and consistent routines are crucial.
    • Use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior.

  2. Be Patient and Consistent:

    • Pomskies can be stubborn, so patience is key. Consistency in commands and expectations helps them learn faster.
    • Use the same cues consistently (e.g., “sit,” “stay,” “come”) and reward promptly when they respond correctly.

  3. Positive Reinforcement:

    • Reward-based training works best for Pomskies. Use treats, praise, and affection to reinforce desired behaviors.
    • Avoid punishment or harsh methods, as it can lead to fear or anxiety.

  4. Socialize Well:

    • Introduce your Pomsky to various people, animals, and environments. Proper socialization prevents fear or aggression.
    • Puppy classes and playdates are excellent for socializing.
    • we always have pomsky parties and play dates  

  5. Basic Commands:

    • Teach essential commands like sit, stay, come, and down.
    • Use treats and positive reinforcement to make learning fun.

  6. Crate Training:

    • Introduce your Pomsky to a crate gradually. Make it a positive space.
    • Use the crate for potty training and safe confinement.
    • We here at Mt. Hood Pomskies are big advocates for crate training it a safety measure when you arent home as well as in the future if ever needed they will be used to it and not stressed out. 
    • Dogs are cave dwelling animals by nature they love to have a place that is their safe place. 

  7. Potty Training:

    • Establish a consistent routine for potty breaks.
    • Reward your Pomsky when they eliminate outside.
    • Have patience from our personal experience of the many different breeds we have owned and trained Huskies are by far the most sensitive and any impatience or anger will make the process longer.

Remember, every Pomsky is unique, so adapt your training approach to their personality and needs. Consistent practice, patience, and love will help you build a strong bond with your furry friend! 🐾❤️
