Worried about my shaved Pomeranian puppy's coat. Any long-term issues?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 3 days old | 4.3 lbs

My pom was shaved today at the grooming salon! I am worried about the possible side effects this might have on him down the line as he gets older. I was hoping the side effects weren’t as harsh due to him being three months old and still having his puppy hair.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This will have no longterm effects. When the hair grows back then Rocco will have his coat again and the future growth is not expected to be affected in any way. Have a great day!
