Page "Pomeranian (dog)" Paragraph 10

The life expectancy of a Pomeranian is 12 to 15 years.

A well-bred dog on a good diet with appropriate exercise will have few health problems, and if kept trim and fit a Pomeranian is a sturdy dog.

The breed does have similar health issues to many dog breeds, although some issues such as hip dysplasia are uncommon due to the Pomeranian's lightweight build.

Some health issues can develop as a result of lack of attention to grooming, and teeth, ear and eye cleaning.

With routine care these problems can be avoided.
