RECOMMENDED SUPPLIES FOR YOUR POMSKY

​​Pomsky Training Book ​- Because Pomskies are such a new breed, there isn’t much on the internet about Pomskies. A few of us breeders got together with Pomsky Owners Association and wrote this book called The Complete Guide To Pomsky Training. It's a great book and definitely worth the read. Training is key to having a well mannered Pomsky with good behavior. I highly recommend this book to all pomsky owners. 

Puppy Food 0-12 months – Premium Puppy food to get your puppy off to a great start. We feed our Pomsky puppies Diamond Puppy Food.  While your puppy is younger then one year old, it's important to feed a high protein diet to help gain the proper amount of weight during the puppy stage. We recommend switching to adult dog food when your Pomsky is 12 months old. We really like Diamond Naturals for our adult Pomskies. If you choose to use different dog food, that's just fine. You'll want to transition your Pomsky slowly to the other dog food to prevent your Pomsky from having loose stools. We always send a small bag of puppy food

Adult Pomsky Dog Food 12+month- We feed our adults Diamond Naturals is a HIGH quality PROTEIN dog food made with real PASTURE RAISED lamb, tailored for adult dogs. Premium ingredients with added vitamins & minerals; fruits and vegetables as SUPERFOODS for hard-working ANTIOXIDANTS; fatty acid blend for SKIN & COAT. Great for the Fluffy Pomsky coat. This holistic dog food contains no corn, wheat, filler; NO ARTIFICIAL flavors, colors, or preservatives added. 

Healthy Chews My Pomskies really love are - Buffalo Horns. I spread a small amount of peanut butter on. These are all natural dog chews. My Pomskies love them and it keeps them busy.

---

Another Healthy Chew My Pomskies love - are these Cow Hooves. These are all natural healthy chews your Pomsky will love.  They do smell so we keep them outside.

Another Healthy Chew Pomskies love - are these Himalayan Cheese Chews. They are made with all natural ingredients. Made with Yak Milk, Cow Milk, Lime Juice, and Himalayan Salt. No chemicals, No preservatives, and No additives. These are long lasting and great for chewers.

​Dog Treats - Many treats are made with less then stellar ingredients, including animal by-products, fillers, chemicals, sugar, and other additives. Choosing treats that are naturally flavored are important, especially at the beginning while training because of the amount you give your puppy.
We feed our Pomskies Organic treats with natural ingredients. One I really like is Nutro Mini Bites Dog Treats

More Healthy Pomsky Dog Treats- are these Zuke's Puppy Treats made with natural ingredients and great for training treats. My Pomskies love these

SmartPetLove Snuggle Puppy Behavioral Aid Toy -This is a must! Our puppies love to snuggle next to this big SmartPetLove Snuggle Puppy Behavioral Aid Toy. Helps Pomsky Puppies transition to their new home and reduces stress. Helps with crate training by reducing negative behaviors such as whining and barking, which also helps YOU sleep at night. We use this anytime we add a new puppy to our home. It has a "Real-feel” pulsing heartbeat and heat pack calm by appealing to natural instincts   

           

Kennel – While puppy is in the potty training stage, I like to use a medium size kennel with a divider, if the kennel is too big the puppy will have more accidents inside, but if the kennel is too small, puppy will be claustrophobic. We use the 24" Metal Dog Crate. For cargo shipping we use the 26" RUFF MAXX KENNEL. We add a MidWest Homes for Pets Deluxe Pet Beds | Super soft w/ 1-Year Warranty inside of the kennel

Dog Bed- We use both KONG Chew Resistant Heavy Duty Pillow Bed GREY and K9 Ballistics Chew Proof Elevated Dog Bed, Chew Resistant Indestructible Dog Cot, Large, Medium, Small Sizes for Indoor or Outdoor Dogs Who Chew Their Beds, Waterproof with Aluminum Frame

​Vitamins – Vitamins are important for people so it makes sense, they’re also important for dogs. Some dogs can be very picky eaters and giving a dog a pill isn’t easy, but I found one that dogs LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! We feed our Pomskies Nuvet Plus K-9 Waffers.  They also have a great auto-ship and save option. If they're younger then 12 months I only feed half a pill daily. When they get to be 12 months I feed the whole pill.  ​

Tooth Brush & Tooth Paste - Yes, even your dog needs his teeth brushed. I like Arm & Hammer Dog Dental Care Tartar Control Kit for Dogs | Contains Toothpaste, Toothbrush & Fingerbrush | Reduces Plaque & Tartar Buildup | Safe for Puppies, 3Piece Kit, Beef Flavor. 
Another Toothebrush my Pomskies like is the Petizer Tooth Brush. It acts as a chew toy but its great for brushing their teeth also. 

Daily Dental Support -  VETRISCIENCE Laboratories Perio Support, Dental Health Powder for Cats and Dogs, 4.2 OZ 
We add  a small amount to their food once a day, you can give per meal. This helps with dental hygiene.
Directions For Use:

• Up to 15 lbs: 1/4 tsp per meal
  
• 16-30 lbs: 1/2 tsp per meal
• 31-60 lbs: 3/4 tsp per meal
• 61-90 lbs: 1 tsp per meal
• 91-120 lbs: 1 1/2 tsp per meal
• Over 120: lbs 2 tsp per meal             

​Breath Spray - I really like this Gerrard Larriett Natural Breath Freshener Teeth and Gum Cleaner for Dogs and Cats Pet Oral Care Spray - 8 FL OZ 236ml.

​​
​Ear Cleaner – Parasites, moisture and debris can easily be trapped inside the ear canal, leading to conditions that, if left unchecked, will invite bacteria and yeast to take up residence in the affected area. We use the NuVet ear cleaner. This stuff is a must have. This is a unique formulation containing all natural eucalyptus and soothing aloe vera. This is the perfect solution for maintaining healthy canine ears.

Dog Shampoo – I like to change it up a little, so I found a few that I really like. My favorite is the Nuvet Tee Tree Shampoo, The smell is amazing! I also like to use the Nuvet Odor control pet shampoo.  Another one I really like is the Aromatherapy Shampoo & Conditioner for Pets Dog Shampoo, Medicated Oatmeal Dog Shampoo & Pet Odor Eliminator

​
​
Spray to use in between baths – It’s not healthy to bath your dogs too often so we use Aromatherapy Freshening & Shining Spray for Pets, Dog Grooming Spray, Dog Perfume, Dog Cologne & Pet Odor Eliminator in between baths. This spray smells really good.

---

​

​Nail clippers – Trimming nails can be challenging. It's important to have the right supplies for the job. We use the Dremel 7300-PT 4.8V Cordless Pet Dog Nail Grooming & Grinding Tool, Safely & Humanely Trim Pet & Dog Nails

​Brush - I have a few that I use. The one I use the most is the Pro Quality Self Cleaning Slicker Brush

Undercoat Rake - I like this JW Undercoat Dog Brush

​Grooming Brush - I use the Wahl grooming brush 

​Vacuum for the dog – During shedding season its important to properly blow out your Pomskies coat with this Bissell BARKBATH QT – QuietTone Portable Dog Bath and Grooming System

---

Leash, Collar, Harness – The leash we use is this ladoogo 2 Pack 5 FT Heavy Duty Dog Leash with Comfortable Padded Handle Reflective Dog leashes for Medium Large Dogs                                                     The Collar we use is size small Mile High Life Dog Collar | Nylon with Reflective Three 3M Straps | Lime Green Hot Blue Pink Purple Red                                                                                                                                
The Harness I like best is the Kurgo Dog Hanesss. This is a great halter with Lifetime Warranty!
another option for a harness is the Voyager Step-In Air Dog Harness                                                                  Retractable Leash We only use The Retractable leash during training because it can hurt your hand.

We will send a size small leash and collar. When puppy is older you may want to get a size medium depending on how big they get. If they are smaller, you may be good with a size small always.

​​Dog Tag - Don't forget to get a dog tag with their name and your phone number in case they get lost. I like this Silent Slide On Collar Tag because it doesn't come off as easy as the other dog tags.

---

Clothes – For my Pomsky puppies I usually get size extra small or small. If he’s really big and or fluffy, sometimes you’ll need medium depending on the brand

Toys - Pomskies are chewers; you’ll need plenty of chew toys. Most fabric toys, they can chew and destroy quickly. I still get them but I don’t expect them to last long. Make sure to remove all the tags and plastic before giving him the toy. Infant toys usually have hard eye balls, that can be dangerous for any dog. Try to keep kids toys out of reach. Here’s a few toys I buy IFELISS Interactive Dog Chew Toys for Small Medium Dogs IQ Treat Boredom Puzzle Puppy Toys Tough Tooth Cleaning Pet Toys -3 Holes Food Dispending &100% Non-Toxic Durable Natural Another we have is Kong KM2 Ring Toy another KONG Scrunch Knots Squirrel Dog Toy another Jalousie 5 Pack Dog Squeaky Toys Three no Stuffing Toy and Two Plush with Stuffing for Small Medium Large Dog Pets another Pacific Pups Products supporting pacificpuprescue.com Dog Rope Toys for Aggressive Chewers - Set of 11 Nearly Indestructible Dog Toys - Bonus Giraffe Rope Toy - Benefits NONPROFIT Dog Rescue. You can never have too many toys for your Pomsky puppy

​
​
​#1 Toy For A Pomsky Puppy - Every one of our Pomskies LOVE this Nylabone toy. Great for chewing and teething. I've never had a puppy who didnt really like it. Its an all time favorite! 

---

​
Another must have toy for your Pomsky - Is the Wobble Wag Giggle Ball. With just the nudge of a nose, off the ball goes!  It rolls and shakes while making fun giggle sounds. This will keep your Pomsky busy for a short time. 

---

Another Toy you must have for your Pomsky - Is the Chase N Chomp Amazing Squaeker Ball for Pets, 2.5-Inch. I get the Medium one. It has a revolutionary squeaker that makes different sounds; squeaker sound will change depending on how you squeeze the ball.  It keeps our Pomskies busy                                                        

---

Another Toy your pomsky will love - is the Jolly Ball. The ball comes in small, medium, and large. I get Small for my puppies and medium for my older dogs.  This is another great toy to keep your Pomsky busy. 

​
More toys - Because pomskies love Dog toys. I buy large lots of toys like this 14 Pack of puppy toys . The more toys they have the less they try to chew on other things. This will keep them busy for a while

​Stop Chewing - We use stops chewing spray. I spray it on whatever the pomsky puppy is chewing on. It's so DISGUSTINGLY BITTER – Fooey! It's SAFE FOR YOUR PET AND HOME - It is safe for furniture, walls, shoes, clothing and harmful plants, and even safe to use directly on your pet’s skin to discourage gnawing and licking. Color & Dye Free. Won’t Stain.              

Potty Pad - We usually train our Pomsky puppies to go potty outside but if you can’t get outside quick, then potty pads are a must. Since these puppies are chewers, they will chew up the potty pad if you don’t have this PAWISE Dog Training Pad Holder Tray, Portable Potty Trainer - Indoor Dog Potty - Puppy Pad Floor Tray - Large to hold it down. 

​​Potty Spray - We use this potty Here spray. Potty Here Training Aid Spray helps train puppies and dogs of all ages where to potty. The unique attractant scent will encourage dogs to urinate wherever the product is sprayed. Simply apply the training spray to preferred designated areas. Great for outdoor areas, artificial grass and puppy pads.

​Grass Patch – If you live in an apartment and cant get outside right away I recommend getting this Artificial Grass Bathroom Mat for Puppies and Small Pets- Portable Potty Trainer for Indoor and Outdoor Use and place it on your balcony. Using a grass patch is highly recommended because it looks similar to actual grass and your pomsky puppy will know hes suppose to go potty outside on the grass. I prefer the grass patch instead of the pee pads, read more about outdoor versus indoor potty training

​
​Pet Stain and Odor Remover – Lets face it, accidents happen. That’s why you need the pet stain and odor remover. Removes stains and odor instantly and it smells amazing! This is a safe organic cleaner you can use with your pets in your home. There is no dangerous chemicals in this cleaner. 

Something we use to prevent our Pomsky puppy from getting a UTI - is the Cranberry Extract Capsules. I sprinkle 1/2 capsule on the puppy food three times a week. This will help prevent puppies from getting a common UTI. Puppies are so small and often squat very low to the ground when playing, they can get UTIs. This will help prevent them.

​Poop Bags – I use this, I like the dispenser.  AmazonBasics Dog Waste Bags with Dispenser and Leash Clip, Standard and EPI Additive (meets ASTM D6954-04 Tier 1)

The Silicone Lick Mat - is a great product to keep your Pomsky busy while clipping their nails, giving a bath, or brushing their hair. I add peanut butter and it keeps them busy for a few minutes. This is a must have for me. I couldn't cut Jaguar's nails without this distraction, he loves when I add peanut butter.

​Nuvet Powder – When I make homemade treats for my dogs, I like to put a little bit of the Nuvet Plus K-9 powder in the mix. There’s so many dog treats out there that’s unhealthy so home made is what I usually use. 

---

Paw Pairings - W`e often use PawTree PawPairings Superfood Seasoning We sprinkle it on top of homemade Pomsky Puppy Dog Treats. If your Pomsky is a picky eater, you can sprinkle it on top of her regular food. They have different flavors, you can change it up a little so she is't eating the same thing every day. Our Pomskies like all flavors. 100% GRAIN FREE AND GLUTEN FREE – Absolutely NO Corn, Wheat, Soy, Gluten, Added Salts, Preservatives or Fillers or any kind. Contains a mix of HEALTHY blends!

​Dog Bowls - Believe it or not, they make these awesome collapsible dog bowls you can fold to reduce space, its great for traveling, hiking, or just for a walk on a hot summer day to bring water or food Of course, you will need different ones for the home. I like these Wagging Tail Essentials - Medium Sized Stainless Steel Dog Bowls - Black Silicone Spillover Mat - 64oz Total (8 Cups). We use these Lixit Cage Crock, Stainless Steel bowls on the gate for water                                                                                                                    

Eye Wipes - Using Eye wipes is an excellent way to wash your Pomskies face and get rid of any burgers attached to their fur. Baths alone are often not enough to reduce facial staining. Most stains on the face occur under the eyes and around the nose and mouth. In order to decrease facial staining, it is wise to wash your Pomskies eyes with Arava Pet Eye Wipes - for Dogs Cats Puppies & Kittens - 100 Count - Natural and Aromatherapy Medicated - Removes Dirt Crust and Discharge - Prevents Tear Stain Infections & Irritations - Soft & Gentle

---

​Airline Approved Kennel - This Delta Airline approved kennel fits under the middle seat on all aircrafts and its easy to carry while walking. Size medium, holds puppies up to 16lbs. 

Puppy Gate - Its best to have an area for the puppy with a gate indoors with a kennel and a bed. We use this 8 panel gate for outdoor use and this expandable gate for indoor use. Each home is different. Here's a few that will work. It's important to have a gate at the stairs so your puppy doesn't fall or get injured

For the Home - I like the FURemover Broom. We use this only during shedding season. The broom works great to remove hair on most types of floors from wood, tile, vinyl, and even carpet. If your Pomsky sheds, this is a must have.

---

For the Car - I put puppies in a seatbelt harness. I also have the Car Seat and I like them both.

Another must have - are Slip on Crocs Unisex Sandals or any sandles you can quickly put on to go outside with puppy during potty training.

---

Coconut Oil - We feed a tsp of coconut oil once per day to keep our Pomskies coat soft and shiny. I add it to their food bowl. Attached is a picture of our past puppies who get coconut oil daily and have such  beautiful coats. Both of them are Brookside Pomskies.  Instagram https://www.instagram.com/topgunpomskies/

​That’s the list of products I use and highly recommend. Happy Shopping!
