Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. The weight of a pomeranian can range anywhere from 4 to 8 pounds, depending on the size of your pom. I recommend consulting with your veterinarian to have them determine Bobo's Body Condition Score (BCS) and see if he is at an adequate weight for his body size. You can look up a Body Condition Score chart online. Your dog should ideally be a 4 or a 5 on the 1-9 scale. I hope this is helpful!

    BoBo is very cute! Typically Pomeranians are between 3 to 7 pounds, but some litters can be larger and weigh 12-14 pounds. I would have him checked out by a vet to make sure that he isn't overweight. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
