Pomeranian Grooming Gold Coast
The Pomeranian coat: tiny body, enormous fluff
Pomeranians are walking cotton balls with attitudes. Tiny dogs with massive double coats that seem to defy the laws of physics, Poms pack more fur per kilogram than almost any other breed. That dramatic poof is part of what makes them so irresistible, but maintaining it on the Gold Coast takes more work than their size suggests.
Pomeranians have a dense, thick double coat with a soft, fluffy undercoat and a longer, harsher outer coat that stands away from the body to create that distinctive round silhouette. They shed constantly at a moderate level and blow their undercoat twice a year. For a dog that weighs 2 to 4 kilograms, the amount of hair that comes off during a coat blow is wild.
What a professional Pom groom involves
A Style Groom at Pets Juicy includes thorough brush-out with a slicker brush and undercoat rake, warm bath with coat-appropriate products from the Melanie Newman salon range, professional blow dry that lifts and separates the coat layers (this is where the "poof" happens), outline trim and shaping to maintain the round Pom silhouette (feet, sanitary area, coat outline and ears), ear cleaning, nail trim and full skin check.
Never shave a Pomeranian
This deserves its own section because it comes up frequently. Pomeranians should never be shaved. The double coat insulates against both heat and cold, protects from UV, and if shaved, the undercoat often grows back unevenly or not at all. This condition (called post-clipping alopecia or "coat funk") is something Pomeranians are particularly prone to. Some shaved Poms never fully regrow their coat to its original density and texture.
Even in Gold Coast summer, a properly maintained Pom coat regulates temperature better than exposed skin. We trim and shape for neatness, but we always preserve the coat structure. If someone has previously shaved your Pom and the coat hasn't grown back properly, let us know and we can advise on the best approach to support regrowth.
Deshedding: the most valuable Pom service
Professional deshedding is where Pom owners see the biggest return on their grooming investment. The blow dry pushes out loose undercoat that home brushing can't reach, and the difference in shedding at home after a professional deshed is dramatic. During coat-blowing season (spring and autumn), a deshed every three to four weeks makes the difference between manageable and overwhelming.
Common Pom issues on the Gold Coast
Matting in the undercoat. The dense undercoat compacts against the skin if not brushed regularly. Mats hide under the fluffy outer coat and aren't visible until they're tight. Brush from the skin outward rather than skimming the surface.
Heat sensitivity. That thick double coat can cause overheating in Gold Coast summers. Keep exercise to cooler parts of the day, ensure access to shade and water, and maintain the coat through regular deshedding rather than shaving.
Tear staining. Common on lighter-coloured Poms. Daily wiping under the eyes helps. We clean at every groom.
Dental issues. Small breeds with crowded teeth are prone to dental problems. We flag bad breath, tartar and gum redness during grooms.
Home maintenance
Brush two to three times a week with a slicker brush, working from the skin outward. Daily during shedding season. Focus behind the ears, around the collar and the britches (the fluffy hair around the hindquarters).
Rinse after salt water. The dense coat holds salt that dries the skin. Fresh water, every time.
Nails every three to four weeks. Poms are tiny and don't wear nails down on pavement.
Grooming schedule
Every six to eight weeks for a full groom. Never agree to a shave, even in summer.
Puppies and seniors
Pom puppies should start from 12 to 14 weeks. The adult coat develops around 12 to 18 months with a sometimes-awkward "ugly puppy" stage where the puppy coat sheds and the adult coat grows in patchy. This is normal and temporary. Senior Poms may develop coat thinning or texture changes. We handle tiny breeds with gentle, careful hands and extra patience. More on our senior dog grooming.
Understanding the Pom double coat
The Pomeranian double coat consists of two distinct layers working together. The undercoat is soft, dense and fluffy, providing insulation against both heat and cold. The outer coat (guard hairs) is longer, harsher and stands away from the body, creating that distinctive round, puffy silhouette. Together, they form a temperature regulation system that works better than you might expect for such a small dog.
Pomeranians shed their undercoat twice a year (spring and autumn) in dramatic coat-blowing events where tufts of fluffy undercoat come out in clumps. Between these events, they shed at a moderate level year-round. The outer coat sheds less frequently but does replace itself over time. Both layers need regular brushing to prevent the loose undercoat from compacting against the skin and forming mats.
Common Pomeranian coat issues on the Gold Coast
Matting in the undercoat. The dense undercoat compacts against the skin if not brushed regularly. Mats form underneath the fluffy outer coat where they're invisible from the surface. This is why brushing from the skin outward (rather than smoothing the top layer) is critical for Poms.
Heat sensitivity. That thick double coat can cause overheating in Gold Coast summers. Poms are small and can overheat faster than larger breeds. Keep exercise to cooler parts of the day, ensure constant access to shade and water, and maintain the coat through regular deshedding rather than shaving. A well-deshedded Pom coat actually helps regulate temperature better than a shaved one.
Post-clipping alopecia (coat funk). This is why we never shave Pomeranians. Some Poms that are shaved or clipped very short develop patchy, uneven regrowth where the undercoat grows back but the guard hairs don't. The result is a permanently altered coat texture that may never return to its original density. Poms are one of the breeds most prone to this condition. Prevention is simple: don't shave them.
Tear staining. Common on lighter-coloured Poms (cream, white, orange). The reddish-brown marks under the eyes are caused by porphyrin in tears. We clean at every groom. At home, daily wiping with a damp cotton pad keeps staining minimal.
Dental issues. Small breeds with crowded teeth are prone to dental problems including tartar buildup, gum disease and tooth loss. We flag bad breath, tartar and gum redness during grooms. Regular dental care (brushing at home, dental chews, vet checks) prevents problems from escalating.
Grooming styles for Pomeranians
Breed-standard round shape. The classic Pom look. The coat is shaped into a round, even outline with a full mane around the chest and a neatly rounded rear. The face is trimmed into a cute fox-like shape. This is the look that makes Poms look like little lions. Requires brushing two to three times a week.
Teddy bear trim. A rounder, softer version of the breed standard. The coat is trimmed shorter overall with extra rounding on the face and body. Creates a plush, stuffed-toy look. Slightly less maintenance than a full-length coat.
Practical pet tidy. The coat is trimmed to a manageable length (keeping it long enough to protect the undercoat) with neat shaping. Reduces bulk and brushing time while still looking distinctly Pomeranian. Our most popular Pom style for Gold Coast owners.
What we never do: shave a Pomeranian. The double coat protects from UV, insulates against heat, and if shaved, may never grow back properly. Proper deshedding and trimming keeps them comfortable without the risks.
Seasonal grooming
Summer. Keep the coat well-deshedded to reduce heat retention. Trim to a manageable length (not shaved). Groom every six to eight weeks. Watch for overheating during walks and outdoor play.
Autumn. First coat blow. Book a professional deshed early in the season. Bump home brushing to every other day during the heaviest shedding weeks.
Winter. Calmest season. The coat thickens naturally. Groom every six to eight weeks. Good time to let the coat build to its fullest, most impressive state.
Spring. Heavy coat blow. Get ahead of it with a September deshed. Allergens increase. Groom every six to eight weeks. Watch for grass seeds in the dense coat.
Puppies and seniors
Pom puppies should start grooming from 12 to 14 weeks. The puppy coat is softer and shorter than the adult coat, and the full double coat develops around 12 to 18 months. There's often an awkward "ugly puppy" stage during the transition where the coat looks patchy and uneven. This is completely normal and temporary. Don't panic, and don't shave.
Senior Poms may develop coat thinning, texture changes, or alopecia. The coat might not be as full or dense as it was in their prime. Skin can become drier and more sensitive. We handle elderly Poms with gentle, patient care and shorter sessions.
Common Pom issues on the Gold Coast
Matting in the undercoat. The dense undercoat compacts against the skin if not brushed regularly, especially during shedding season. Mats hide under the fluffy outer coat and aren't visible until they're tight against the skin. Always brush from the skin outward rather than skimming the surface fluff.
Heat sensitivity. That thick double coat can cause overheating in Gold Coast summers. Poms are small and close to hot pavement, which makes them more vulnerable than larger breeds. Keep exercise to cooler parts of the day, ensure access to shade and water, and maintain the coat through regular deshedding rather than shaving.
Post-clipping alopecia (coat funk). Pomeranians are one of the breeds most prone to this condition, where the coat fails to regrow properly after being shaved. The undercoat may grow back patchy, thin or not at all. Some Poms never fully recover their coat after a shave. This is why we never recommend shaving a Pom, even in summer. If your Pom has been previously shaved and the coat hasn't grown back, let us know and we can advise on the best approach to support regrowth.
Tear staining. Common on lighter-coloured Poms. Daily wiping under the eyes with a damp cotton pad prevents buildup. We clean at every groom.
Dental issues. Small breeds with crowded teeth are prone to dental problems. Bad breath, red gums and visible tartar are early signs. We flag concerns during grooms. Regular dental chews or brushing at home helps prevent issues.
Tracheal collapse. Poms are prone to this condition where the windpipe weakens and narrows. During grooming, we avoid putting pressure on the throat (no pulling on collars, gentle restraint techniques) and watch for coughing or breathing changes.
Seasonal grooming for Gold Coast Poms
Summer (December to February). Keep the coat well-maintained through deshedding, not shaving. Overheating is a risk, so keep exercise to cooler parts of the day. The undercoat traps heat if it's compacted with dead hair, so regular deshedding actually helps with temperature regulation. Groom every six to eight weeks.
Autumn (March to May). First coat blow. The summer undercoat drops and shedding ramps up. Book a professional deshed early in the season. Bump home brushing to every other day during the heaviest shedding weeks.
Winter (June to August). Calmest season. The coat thickens naturally for insulation. Shedding settles. Groom every six to eight weeks. A good time to build up the coat's condition with a nourishing bath and conditioner.
Spring (September to November). Heavy coat blow as the winter undercoat drops. Get ahead of it with a deshed in September. The amount of hair that comes off a Pom during a spring coat blow is startling for such a small dog. Groom every six to eight weeks through spring.
At-home maintenance between grooms
Brush two to three times a week. Slicker brush, working from the skin outward. Part the outer coat with your hand and brush the undercoat section by section. Daily during shedding season. Focus behind the ears, around the collar, the britches (the fluffy hair around the hindquarters) and the chest.
Rinse after salt water. The dense coat holds salt that dries the skin and causes itching. Fresh water, every time.
Check for mats in the undercoat. Run your fingers through the coat close to the skin, feeling for clumps or tightness. The fluffy outer coat hides undercoat mats until they're well-established.
Nails every three to four weeks. Poms are tiny and don't wear nails down naturally. Overgrown nails on a small dog affect gait and comfort quickly.
Wipe under eyes if staining is present. Daily with a damp cotton pad. Prevents crusty buildup.

Five stars from the people holding the leads
Rated 5.0 on Google (opens in a new tab)We took our two toy poodles in for grooming today and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we walked in, the team was warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do.
They took the time to listen and treated our boys with such care and patience throughout and they came out looking absolutely beautiful! Perfect cuts, soft coats, and so happy & relaxed.
It’s obvious they genuinely care about the dogs, not just the end result. The attention to detail and level of professionalism really stood out. We’ve already rebooked, will definitely be coming back regularly and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality groomer.
Thanks so much guys!
Lots of love from Lenny & Boo 🐕 🐕
OBSESSED
Got my senior queen Lady (husky x GSD) groomed here when her regular groomers couldn’t fit her in (they would often cancel as well due to her size and hair type). Pets Juicy did an incredible job - Lady came back happy, smelling fresh and well de-shedded. Really happy with the service and kindness of the staff here, this will be the new go-to spot for our dogs. Thank you for being so accommodating to bigger dogs, which are often seen as a chore by many places. I can see based on reviews you have many larger regulars. Thank you team!
Excellent service and care
HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR COCKER SPANIEL OWNERS 🤍
Had such a good experience at Pets Juicy. My dog Monty had the worst mats in his ears and I was honestly so stressed about it. The team were so patient and gentle with him, especially because he’s a bit silly and crazy They really took their time and made sure he was comfortable, and did an amazing job. I honestly wish I took before photos of how matted his ears were because the difference is crazy. So grateful for how kind they were with him. Definitely recommend!
Great job on my mini groodle Coco
Such an amazing place and team. The environment was very calming and relaxing for our dog. It was his first ever professional groom and wow, he looked fantastic. From booking to confirmation to reminder to collection was absolutely brilliant. Our dog didn’t want to leave at the end of his groom leaving with a big smile on his face and one very happy one at that. We have found our forever groomers for our large dog!!
Thanks Pets Juicy
Best haircut in 16 years for my spoodle
I’ve brought my two pups to Pet’s Juicy a few times now, and every visit has been such a positive experience. The team is incredibly gentle, caring, and clearly loves what they do! My dogs are always excited when we arrive! Their grooms are beautifully done, and they come home smelling amazing and happy every time. I feel completely at ease leaving them in such capable, loving, kind hands. Highly recommend!
Always amazing & professional a great team
Sami looked and felt absolutely fabulous after her long haired deshedding service. The team did an awesome job with my golden girl who hates her nails being trimmed. Our vet couldn’t manage trimming Sami’s nails without sedation but the team ensured she had a proper and perfect dogicure. Being a water lover, Sami had some matting which the team were able to also tidy. 10/10
Awesome open space, needed for our local area
This was our first time at Pets Juicy and we were very impressed with our visit. It’s a very friendly space and I liked how my pup was able to hang out with the day care dogs while he waited for his cut. Also the staff was very accommodating, booking was easy and prices were very reasonable. We will definitely be back!
Awesome groom - our Labradoodle looks so handsome!
Our big beautiful GSD loves this place. Hes very anxious at groomers but the whole vibe is just chill, welcoming and loving. He immediately relaxed and blended in well.
I struggle to take him in public to dog parks as he gets very unhappy, but id happily leave him here as long as needed. Well managed and run.
Love this place .
The best dog groomers on the Gold Coast .
Our 15yold Moodle has lots of bumps and lumps. Had been avoiding groomers due to fear of distress. Had been recommended Pets Juicy and couldn’t be happier. Easy to book, lovely reception on arrival and felt very comfortable. And in picking up our dog, he was happy calm and looked wonderful.
Great experience and a lovely groom for my cavoodle- I didn’t recognise him!
My little Archie seemed to instinctively love this place.
A chilled welcoming venue, very nice staff, and they did a really great job on grooming, I passed by at one point while he was being groomed & saw for myself the care and attention that was taken.
Would definitely recommend.
Pet Juicy have been amazing for our little Luna. Highly recommend their services.
The team at Pets Juicy were amazing! They did such a good job helping with our Border Collie’s matted coat and took really great care of him the whole time. He came home looking so much better and seemed super happy and comfortable. Couldn’t recommend them enough :)

Fabulous team at Pets Juicy. Obviously love their work and customers!!!

I so happy and appreciative of the great job your team has done to make my miniature Poodle and Cobberdog looks so gorgeous.
Thanks heaps
Claudia
Highly recommend the Pets juicy team to look after your furry babies. I was so hesitant and nervous as I’d never had my dogs previously looked after but moving interstate and trying to take our family to theme parks left me no choice but to bite the bullet and try. I’m so glad I came across these guys. They put my mind at ease. My dogs were happy to go each day (they went for 3 days). I was updated on the first day with texts and photos to put my nerves at ease. Thank you for such a pleasant experience. Can’t recommend these guys enough. Thank you.
Teddy loves pets juicy!!!
We absolutely love this place! Odin and Scooby always come home happy, relaxed, and looking amazing after their grooming sessions. The team truly cares for the dogs as if they were their own, and I feel so comfortable leaving them here for daycare knowing they’re in safe hands. Grooming is always done perfectly—clean, tidy, and they smell incredible! Most importantly, both dogs actually get excited when we arrive, which says it all. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a professional and loving groomer/daycare.
Great service and great results!
I would highly recommend Pets Juicy . I popped in this morning to see if they could possibly trim my 14 year old Boxers nail's.
I was in Awe... usually Ruby is a shaking mess and stressed in new situations.
Shane took Ruby through to the grooming room and tender to those nails while I waited.
What I witnessed was a serene/happy atmosphere in the doggy daycare area and Ruby was relaxed on the grooming table while her nails were attended to.
Extremely affordable, Kind and Professional experience.
Beautiful results, affordable for all.
My 1 year old labradoodle Bryson had his first full groom this morning and couldn't feel more comfortable and pleased with this service. Very impressed with how patient and helpful Shane was. Bryson wasn't the easiest puppy to groom but with the guidance and advice given, I have no doubt it will get essier and he will be less nervous each time. Have definitely found our new grooming service! Very happy, thank you so much! 🙂
Great service and love the free bandana
Extremely happy after collecting our Husky Sasha from his first visit. We really appreciate the extra time and care taken to de-fluff our adored fur ball and especially impressed we were not charged extra for the additional time taken. Have already started recommending you and looking forward to seeing you again next month! Thanks again from Sasha and the Spencer Family 🩷🩷🩷
Thank u Dudley looks awesome after his groom
It was our puppy’s very first grooming session and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! The staff was so gentle and patient, and made sure our little one felt safe and comfortable.

They did a really great job with my dog's groom

She looks amazing and their services are very well priced.
Bonus is that they post super cute photos of your dog on Instagram ♡
We'll be back, thank you!
Amazing service and an easy and user friendly website
Amazing service! After being told by multiple groomers across the GC they weren’t taking on anymore large breed clients, I came across Pets Juicy who were more than happy to help. Both dogs groomed the next day and was better priced than I expected! Will definitely be using them from now on.
They took amazing care of my little pup will
Definitely be back !!
We take our two miniature groodles here for their grooming regularly & they do such a good job!!
We’ve had previous experiences at a large salon where our 3yr old would become anxious & distressed, but not here - both our doggies love going to Pets Juicy Miami. Definitely 5 ⭐️ from us!
Gorgeous people with my puppy she came home happy and looking and smelling great.
This was my first time here and I’m so happy with how they groomed my dog, he looks amazing and it’s perfect for his active lifestyle. I love how much everyone there cares for the dogs! It made me feel comfortable leaving him and knowing he will be well looked after. Will 100% be back!
They are amazing and very kind with my furry little baby!!! I strongly recommend!!!
I took my 16 month old Border Collie (Ziggy) to Pets Juicy in Miami today for a warm bath and deshed. The staff are so friendly. You can tell that they really care about the dogs they look after. Ziggy looks amazing after his grooming session. Stella job guys!
They have amazing staff and my dog came out smelling so clean with a fresh hair cut for spring.
My beautiful 15 year old, blind Shihtzu Stella has been here 3 times now and honestly the BEST grooming service we’ve ever experienced. Kind, caring, great grooming- very happy Shihtzu mum and most importantly an extremely happy pup. ❤️
Alfred loved his experience at Pets Juicy. We can't thank them enough for looking after our little guy.

No wait time. Excellent job and surprisingly well priced. Very happy and will be returning
Took my Border Collie for wash and deshed, my boy is looking as handsome as ever. They did an excellent job and the team was very friendly and great to deal with.
