If you’re looking for a low maintenance haircut for your Pom, the kennel cut is the way to go.

“WHATEVER YOU DO, NEVER SHAVE YOUR POMSKY OR GET THEM TEDDY BEAR CUT.” This cuts the long silky guard hairs. These guard hairs usually do not grow back properly. This results in a rougher coat.

Can Pomeranians be cut short?

Risks. Not only can cutting your pet’s hair short during the winter cause problems with keeping him warm, cutting the hair too short can also prevent your Pom from staying cool in the summer. If your Pom has this condition, his hair may not grow back after a close shave or clip because the follicles have been damaged.
