Unlike many dog breeds, there is no noticeable size difference between male and female Pomeranians. Instead, use our Pomeranian weight chart to predict your puppy’s full size based on their weekly growth since birth. Not sure how much your puppy weighed at birth? You can still use the Pomeranian growth chart based on the weight and age group they currently fall into, although results may be less accurate.

Note: Remember that all puppies grow at their own rate. Don’t worry if your Pom is slightly behind or ahead of the above estimates. All that matters is that your Pomeranian puppy is healthy. If you have questions, please consult with your veterinarian.

At what age is a Pomeranian fully grown?

Pomeranians are fully grown by age one. Most of their growth will be completed by the six- or seven-month mark, but some Poms may continue to fill out until their first birthday.

How big should a 6-month-old Pomeranian be?

A 6-month-old Pomeranian puppy will be close to its full adult size. At six months old, a Pomeranian will be close to or at their adult height, typically between 6 and 7 inches tall.

A Pomeranian puppy will still be filling out at six months old but will have gained most of their weight at this point.

Pro Tip: Learn tips on how to puppy-proof your home, set up a vaccination schedule, microchip your pet, and more in our new puppy checklist for dog owners.

How much bigger will my Pomeranian get?

There are a couple of ways to estimate how much bigger your Pomeranian will get.

  1. Age. Start with your Pomeranian’s age. If they are less than six months old, they have significant growing left to do. If they are past their first birthday, various then they should be finished growing.
  2. Paw Size. Next, take a look at your Pomeranian puppy’s paws. Are their paws oversized next to their body? If so, they are likely still growing as this is a classic puppy feature indicating they need to finish filling out.
  3. Genetics. Lastly, check with your Pomeranian’s breeder for an estimate on your pup’s adult size. Based on your Pomeranian’s parents and past litters, your breeder should be able to provide you with a more precise estimate of their final adult size.

Fun Fact: The Pomeranian was beloved by many royals throughout history, including Queen Victoria and Queen Charlotte of the English throne. Due to Queen Victoria’s passion for the breed, Pomeranians grew in popularity and quickly spread throughout England, eventually ending up in America. To this day, Pomeranians, or “Poms,” are among the most popular toy dog breeds worldwide.

What is the size of a full-grown Pomeranian?

According to the American Kennel Club Official Pomeranian Breed Standards, an adult Pomeranian should weigh between three and seven pounds and stand between six and seven inches tall. There is no noticeable size difference between male and female Pomeranians.

How do I make sure my Pomeranian is healthy?

As purebred dogs, Pomeranians are more susceptible to a variety of health problems, making preventative care even more important for your pup’s wellbeing and long-term health. Taking your Pomeranian to regular veterinary appointments is one of the most important things you can do to make sure they feel their best.

Remember, prevention is always better than treatment when it comes to keeping your Pom healthy and happy throughout their lives. An experienced veterinarian can screen your Pom puppy for any signs of disease, give you specific health and wellness recommendations, and assess your Pomeranian’s overall health.

As a breed, Pomeranians are more prone to heart problems, hypoglycemia, luxating patellas, seizures, and eye problems, such as cataracts. While it can be heartbreaking to think about the possibility of your beloved Pomeranian becoming ill, preventive care can make a huge difference in preventing and minimizing future problems.

Pomeranian Veterinary Costs

Planning for the cost of accidents and illnesses is an essential part of being a responsible, loving pet parent. Treatment for many conditions can easily cost thousands of dollars. For example, cataracts can cost between $2,700 and $4,000 on average per eye. Without cataract surgery, your Pomeranian can experience partial to complete blindness.

Like humans, dogs live longer and longer lives, which creates an increasing need for gold-standard veterinary care to ensure that they can maintain a good quality of life. Unfortunately, the cost of veterinary care can be too much for many pet parents. When surveyed, only 19.44% of pet parents say they’d be able to cover a $5,000 expense out-of-pocket, which leaves many pet parents in a pinch should their beloved Pom need treatment.

Pet insurance helps by reimbursing you for up to 90% of out-of-pocket veterinary expenses. There is a 1 in 3 chance that your dog will need emergency treatment during their lifetime. Pet insurance gives you peace of mind knowing that if your pup does need treatment for an accident, illness, or injury, you’re covered. Instead of worrying about finances, you can work with your veterinarian to select the best treatment for your puppy. Wellness plans are also available to help with routine veterinary care costs, like physical exams, dental cleanings, and more.

Key Takeaways

  • Our Pomeranian weight chart predicts your puppy’s growth over 24 weeks, but most Poms stop growing around one year of age.
  • Official American Kennel Club breed standards say that Pomeranians should weigh between three and seven pounds.
  • As a breed, Pomeranians are more susceptible to several hereditary conditions, such as eye cataracts.
  • Pet insurance can help protect your Pom puppy and provide a financial safety net for veterinary expenses throughout your puppy’s life.
