When I first got my Pomeranian she had some wet bowel movements for a couple weeks so I took her to the vet. The vet suggested cooking dishes of rice and ground beef for her for the next week, and that did the trick. DON'T put fruit and veggies in your dog's food. Although they may seem to like them, veggies, fruit and grains are not a natural part of a dog's diet. Meat and protein is 95% of their natural diet and it sounds like your pom needs some. A good website to check out is www.dogfoodanalysis.com, look at the 6-star foods and pick one.

If you give your pom peanutbutter in a Kong toy be aware that peanutbutter makes some Pom's stool soft. That could be the culprit. Other than peanubutter no table scraps and try to keep human food out of her dish except for the rice and ground beef dishes.

Had same problem, food definitely can be an issue... good he's off SD but some better kibbles are Solid Gold, FirstMate (ocean fish formula is EXCELLENT for Poms), Promise, homemade is great too, just add lots of veggies/fruit to the meat and rice. You can also get Balance or Urban Wolf which are really good supplements to add to homecooking. Most importantly though... GET HIS THYROID CHECKED it can be very low without having weight or other sick symptoms. If he looses too much hair from low thyroid it will not for sure come back if you wait too long.

Good luck!

Probably you should ask your vet but I use Puriena One for my Pom/Sheltie mix and she loves it. I get the chicken/rice formula. I get the tiny bites. My Pom/Sheltie is on the thin side but the vet says she is a perfect weight which is 12 pounds.
