My groomer says not to shave the coat, even in summer. Do you agree?

I completely agree with your groomer. Pomeranians have a double coat that helps regulate their temperature. Shaving can actually harm their coat and lead to skin issues. Keeping them well-groomed instead of shaved is the best approach.

Definitely stick with your groomer's advice. Pomeranians need their coats to protect them from the elements. If you shave them, you might risk damaging their beautiful fur. I learned the hard way when I shaved my first one, and it took ages for the coat to come back. Regular brushing is key, especially in summer.

I think your groomer is correct. Pomeranian coats serve to keep them warm in winter and cool in summer. Shaving can disrupt their natural insulation and lead to overheating or skin sensitivity. I've found that regular brushing and keeping the coat manageable works best, especially with the shedding season. It's important to keep their coat in good condition.
