How Big Do Pomeranians Get? Weight and Growth Chart by Month

If you're dreaming about bringing home a fluffy little Pomeranian, you're probably wondering: How big do Pomeranians get? These tiny dogs pack a whole lot of personality into a small, adorable body, but just how small are we talking?

Average Size of a Full-Grown Pomeranian

• Height: 6–7 inches tall (at the shoulder)

• Weight: 3–7 pounds

• Body Length: Around 9–11 inches, nose to tail

Pomeranians are classified as a toy breed, meaning they stay small into adulthood. The ideal adult Pom weighs around 4 to 6 pounds, although some may be slightly smaller or larger depending on genetics and lifestyle.

Pomeranian Weight Chart by Age

Every puppy is unique, but here's a general growth chart to give you an idea of what to expect from your Pom’s development:

What Affects a Pomeranian’s Size?

Several factors influence how big your Pomeranian will get:

• Genetics: Look at the size of the puppy’s parents for the best clue.

• Diet and Nutrition: Proper feeding ensures healthy development.

• Exercise: While they don’t need intense workouts, activity supports growth and muscle tone.

• Health Conditions: Some medical issues can stunt or accelerate growth.

Is My Pomeranian Overweight or Underweight?

Because Pomeranians are so small, even a few ounces can make a big difference, and their thick, fluffy coat can make it tricky to tell if they’re truly at a healthy weight. Grooming plays a big role in helping you see their natural body shape.

Use the guide below to assess your Pom’s weight at home:

Signs of a Healthy Weight:

• Ribs are not visible but can be felt with light pressure.

• Waist is slightly visible from above.

• Puppy is energetic and active.

• What to do: Schedule a vet check and consider adjusting the feeding routine

Underweight:

• Prominent ribs or spine

• Low energy

• Dull coat

• What to do: Maintain a balanced diet, grooming routine, and daily exercise

Overweight:

• No visible waist

• Difficulty running or breathing

• Excess fat around belly or neck

• What to do: Consult your vet for a weight management plan and increase safe exercise

Tip: After grooming, gently run your hands along your Pom’s sides. You should feel a slight waist that tapers in behind the ribs, even if you can’t see it clearly.

If you're ever unsure, your veterinarian can perform a Body Condition Score (BCS) check and help you create a customized health and diet plan.
