Before moving forward you should first know the anatomy of a Pomeranian coat.
There are two layers of Pomeranian coat, inner layer and outer layer:
The inner layer💥
The inner coat is tightly packed, short, soft fur that provides warmth in the winter. When a Pomeranian dogs shed most of the shedding is coming from this layer. So not all hair will fall into the floor and many will be trapped in the coat.
The outer layer✨
The outer layer consists of long guard hair. These have a little bit coarser texture but do not feel dry or rough. When the coat is in a good shape, they will stand out to a unique degree, creating a nice full look. Outer layers can be trimmed to give their coat a nice look.
Shedding and hair growth💈
Another element to know about the shedding, refreshness and hair regrowth of Pomeranian.
The adult Pomeranian sheds from light to moderate throughout the year and heavy shedding almost once a year(early spring). This shedding affects the under coats. Proper brushing and steps to ensure coat health will help this recurrent process.
However, outer coats with longer hair also go through a natural cycle of growth, take rest and fall like human hair. If the new hair will not grow the coat will look thin and hairless.
