Pomeranian Clothes: Fluffy Fashion for Your Pom
Pomeranian Clothes: Fluffy Fashion for Your Pom
Pomeranians are tiny fluffballs with larger-than-life personalities. With their fox-like faces and luxurious double coats, Poms are natural showstoppers—and they deserve wardrobes to match! At Both Tails, we offer adorable options that complement your Pom's fabulous fur.
Do Pomeranians Really Need Clothes?
Good question! Unlike single-coated breeds, Pomeranians have a thick double coat that provides natural insulation. So do they need clothes?
Yes, in certain situations:
- Extreme cold — Even fluffy coats have limits in harsh winter
- Rain and snow — Wet fur loses insulating ability
- After grooming — Freshly trimmed Poms need extra warmth
- Senior Poms — Older dogs regulate temperature less efficiently
- Medical conditions — Some Poms have coat issues (alopecia, etc.)
And for style — Let's be honest, Poms look absolutely adorable in clothes!
Do Pomeranians Get Cold?
Pomeranians are more cold-resistant than many small breeds thanks to their double coat, but they're not immune to chilly weather.
When Poms need extra warmth:
- Temperatures below 40°F (4°C)
- Windy conditions (cuts through their fluff)
- Wet weather (rain, snow)
- Extended time outdoors
- Indoor AC in summer (yes, really!)
Signs your Pom is cold:
- Shivering
- Curling up tightly
- Seeking warm spots
- Reluctance to go outside
- Holding up paws
What Size Clothes Does a Pomeranian Wear?
Pomeranians typically wear XS to Small sizes, but their fluffy coats can be deceiving!
Typical Pom measurements (under the fluff!):
- Chest: 12-16 inches
- Back length: 9-12 inches
- Neck: 9-12 inches
- Weight: 3-7 lbs
Important: Measure your Pom's body, not their fluff! Part the fur and measure against the skin for accuracy.

Clothing Considerations for Pom Coats
Pomeranians have special coat considerations:
Avoid Matting
- Choose smooth inner linings
- Remove clothes regularly
- Brush before and after wearing
- Check friction areas (armpits, chest)
Don't Overheat!
- Poms can overheat easily in heavy clothing
- Choose breathable fabrics
- Watch for panting or restlessness
- When in doubt, go lighter
Post-Grooming Care
If your Pom has a lion cut or shorter style:
- They'll need more warmth than full-coated Poms
- Treat them more like a single-coated breed
- Layer up in cold weather
Tips for Dressing Your Pomeranian
- Don't flatten the fluff — Loose fits let their coat stay fluffy underneath
- Easy on/off — Wide neck openings work best
- Watch for overheating — Their double coat plus clothes can get warm fast
- Brush regularly — Prevents matting from clothes rubbing
- Choose the right weight — Usually lighter is better for Poms
- Make it fun — Poms love attention, so make dressing time special!
