Everything you need to know about red Spitz

Spitz is a very active breed of dog. You need to play with them, run and spend a lot of time. Pet care is simple, but requires some attention.

This type of breed includes Spitz of both a bright saturated red, and a more restrained color - light red. Puppies are usually born light in color, but then they can darken.

Auburn color and fluffy coat are corporate business cards. When the phrase "Pomeranian" is used, people imagine a "fluffy sun" that rushes around the owner at the speed of light and pleases him with loud barking. But if you want a red-haired puppy, then check the pedigree.

Red Spitz can be of any size, from miniature to large. Most often, red-colored puppies are found in such subspecies as Pomeranian, Pomeranian and Grossspitz.

Before you bring your puppy home, you need to take care of the safety of your pet home... Move as far as possible (or higher) all small objects that the doggie can swallow, anything that he can drop or break. So you will protect the unformed psyche of the pet from unnecessary trauma and fear, and yourself from stress. All chemicals (detergents, cosmetics, medications, etc.) must be put in separate boxes, without leaving anything in a conspicuous place, as a curious puppy can eat something very harmful.The trash can, or rather the waste that the dog can get from there, can cause indigestion or even poisoning, so it must also be removed from the field of view.

A particularly dangerous place is the balcony. He can sneak there on his own in search of adventure, and an unglazed space, especially on the upper floors, will create an extra risk to life.

Small Pomeranians need to rest a lot - do not wake up the puppy until he gets enough sleep and gains strength. Do not leave your puppy alone on high surfaces - he may fall and be injured.

It is better to provide your pet with its own resting place. It can be a soft bed or a cozy house. Do not take your Pomeranian to bed with you. If you want to wean an adult dog from this habit, it will be extremely difficult to do.

Taking care of your puppy won't take too long, but you will have to pay attention to it regularly.

• One of the indicators of proper nutrition is the condition of the coat. She should be fluffy and pretty. It is enough to wash the Spitz once a month, and when bathing, you need to make sure that water does not get into the ears. Use special dog shampoos.
• You will have to pay attention to grooming the coat, combing the dog twice a week with special brushes.
• It is necessary to monitor the condition of the eyes and ears by wiping them with a cotton pad dipped in boiled water or chamomile decoction.
• The first vaccinations begin at the age of one and a half months. Until then, do not let the puppy out into the street, do not take it on a visit and limit contact with the outside world. A few days before the first vaccination, you need to drink the puppy with antihelminthic drugs. Your veterinarian will help you find a good drug and calculate the dosage.
