Another area to pay particular attention to in the Pomeranian is his feet. This breed should have small little paws like a cat but they hate our can grow out quite rapidly and you'll need to keep the hair trimmed back in order to keep the feet looking good. This will also keep the hair out of your Pom's way and you should also trim in between the pads under the foot and make sure the nails are trimmed as well to keep the dainty look.
