As a hybrid breed, Pomskies may inherit health issues common to either parent breed; therefore, prospective owners should be aware of potential genetic conditions. Regular veterinary check-ups are essential for monitoring health as they age.

A balanced diet is crucial for maintaining the health of a Pomsky. Owners should look for dog food that meets the standards set by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO). A high-quality diet should include essential vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, and healthy fats tailored to meet the energy needs of this active breed.

Pomskies have double coats that require regular grooming. They shed heavily throughout the year but experience particularly intense shedding periods known as “blowing their coat,” which occurs twice annually. During these times, daily brushing is recommended to manage loose fur effectively.

Pomskies are energetic dogs that need ample exercise—at least an hour of playtime each day is recommended. Regular walks, play sessions with toys, and mental stimulation through training activities help prevent destructive behaviors associated with boredom or lack of activity.

Pomskies are known for their intelligence, playfulness, confidence, and affectionate nature. They tend to be vocal dogs; both Pomeranians and Huskies have tendencies toward barking or yipping. This vocalization can make them less suitable for apartment living or environments with noise-sensitive neighbors. Additionally, Pomskies are protective of their families, which can lead to increased barking around strangers.

Despite their intelligence, training a Pomsky can be challenging due to their stubbornness and willful nature. They require calm and assertive leadership along with consistent training methods that utilize positive reinforcement rather than negative punishment.
