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. 

Dog Food – 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

Kennel – While puppy is in the potty training stage, I like to use a medium size kennel, 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 30" AmazonBasics Single Door & Double Door Folding Metal Dog Crate and we ship our puppies in the 26"RUFF MAXX KENNEL. We add a MidWest Homes for Pets Deluxe Pet Beds | Super Plush Dog & Cat Beds Ideal for Dog Crates | Machine Wash & Dryer Friendly 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. 

​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 couple that I like. The one I use the most is the Pro Quality Self Cleaning Slicker Brush for Dogs and Cats - Easy to Clean Pet Grooming Brush Removes Mats, Tangles, and Loose Hair with Minimal Effort and Comfort - Suitable for Long or Short Hair. During shedding season I use the Furminator Short Hair deShedding Tool for Medium Dogs

​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 we use is a size small Voyager Step-In Air Dog Harness - All Weather Mesh, Step In Vest Harness for Small and Medium Dogs by Best Pet Supplies                                                                                      We don’t use retractable leash except 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 he gets. If he is smaller, you may be good with a size small always.

​​Dog Tag - Don't forget to get a dog tag with name and your phone number in case he gets lost. I like this Silent Slide On Collar Tags - Premium Pet IDs - Safe Silicone Rubber - Custom Engraved, Waterproof for Dogs and Cats - 5 Lines of Personalized Text because it doesn't come off as easy as the other dog tags.

---

Clothes – For my Pomsky puppies I usually get size small. If he’s really 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

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. 

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 here

​
​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. 

​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)

​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.

​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

​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)

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
