The pomapoo is a crossbreed variety of dog. This unique hybrid is the result of crossing a Pomeranian and a Poodle, classified as an F1. Since the pomapoo is a crossbreed, the appearance can vary.
Poodles are intelligent and good natured dogs while the Pomeranian is quite energetic and makes a good companion dog. Given these traits, one would expect the Pomapoo to make a great family pet. Both the Poodle and the Pomeranian love the company of people and take easily to training.
Approximate Adult Size
The approximate adult size, two years old or older, of either the male or female Pomapoo is 8 to 12 inches at the withers. The withers are measured as the highest point of the shoulder. The adult weight of a Pomapoo can range anywhere from 3 to 14 pounds.
Special Health Considerations
Most dog breeds have certain health conditions problems associated with that specific breed. This information should in way be considered a comprehensive list of potential disease. Pomeranians could be prone to skin problems, hot spots, gum disease, low blood sugar, eye infections and heart problems. Poodles could be prone to Canine Hip Dysplasia that can lead to arthritis pain and lameness. Epilepsy, which is common in many dogs, stifle problems and ear infections, can occur in Poodles and this trait may pass on to the Pomapoo.
This disease list is provided only as an informative guideline and your Pomapoo may not experience these conditions. Always consult a qualified veterinary professional for more comprehensive information about your dog.
As with any dog, the puppy stage, 0 to 12 months of age, is the time for shots, boosters and check up. As an adult, the dog should have an annual veterinary checkup. The annual veterinary checkup should include a complete dental exam and cleaning. Dental hygiene like brushing should be a regular part of grooming. Avoid feeding your dog sweets and other human foods.
Grooming
The coat of a Pomapoo could be straight and course or curly with an undercoat typical of poodles. Regular brushing will help maintain a clean and healthy coat. The process of grooming is an opportunity to examine the dog for skin problems and insects pests like fleas and ticks. Brushing and grooming also helps to strengthen the emotional bond between you and your dog.
Dental health is important and the teeth should be brushed at least twice a week with toothpaste and toothbrush designed for dogs. Brushing removes the accumulation of plaque and tartar which can cause cavities and periodontal disease. Poor canine dental hygiene can lead to pain, loss of teeth, bad breath and other serious health conditions.
The claws should be trimmed regularly and the paws examined for signs of injury. Trimming should be done carefully so as to avoid the cutting the quick of the nail. The quick is the soft tissue inside the nail that will bleed profusely if injured.
Life Span
With proper nutrition, medical care and excellent living conditions, a pomapoo should be able to live a long and healthy life. Given the hybrid nature of these dogs, an accurate prediction of life expectancy is not possible.
Registries
American Canine Hybrid Club

When choosing a motorcycle pet carrier, safety and practicality should be your main concerns. Keeping your pet safe is more important than having a fancy or stylish pet carrier. So what type of pet carrier should you choose when taking your cat or dog along for a motorcycle ride? Here are some key features that every motorcycle pet carrier or pet crate should have.
Durable and Protective
Probably the safest motorcycle pet carrier on the market is a pet crate made of hard, durable plastic. Some are even reinforced with lightweight aluminum for added strength. Pet crates made with an aerodynamic shape with these durable materials from top to bottom provide roll-cage like protection if an accident were to occur. Other types of pet carriers such as motorcycle pet bags, chest pouch carriers, and pet carrier tank pads, are not as safe because they expose the dog or cat, driver, and passenger to potential dangers and distractions.
Must-Have Safety Features
A motorcycle dog carrier or cat carrier should have certain safety features for everyone’s protection. Its cage door should be secure at all times with no chance of the door flying open while riding over bumps or on curves. Your pet should not be able to open the door from the inside. The interior of the pet crate should be free of any hazardous protrusions. It should not have screws or other objects protruding outward (on the interior) that could harm the pet during a quick stop or turn.
The bottom of the pet crate should be leak-free and have an absorbent material in the bottom (just in case). Also, be sure the motorcycle pet carrier can be securely mounted to your motorcycle. Some pet carriers come with special mounting made for that particular carrier to maximize safety.
Proper Ventilation
Any motorcycle dog carrier or other type of carrier should have proper ventilation. Be sure an opening is available just large enough for your dog to stick his head out and enjoy the breeze! Some pet crates have removable side rails that enable you to remove and replace them as needed on the trip.
Enough Space for Comfort
Make sure the pet carrier provides adequate space for your pet’s comfort while traveling. Your dog or cat should be able to move freely within the pet crate. They should be able to lie down, stand, and turn around with ease. Many pet crates come in various sizes so you can easily find the perfect fit for your pet.
Other features you might look for include a leash attachment, handles or grips for easy carrying by hand, and versatility. Versatility means the carrier can be easily converted into a scooter dog carrier, a hand-held carrier, or a bicycle pet carrier. This will save you money in the long run.
A motorcycle pet carrier with these mind-easing safety features will likely cost a little more than many other carriers, but you might save your pet’s life by spending just a little more. Pet travel can be fun once you find a motorcycle pet carrier you can trust!
It is no secret that animals are deemed as the best companions that human beings can have. Having a pet is as ancient as civilization itself and the phenomenon are continuing till date. The species on earth have found mutual harmony in their shared existence and that is something that nature intended to be. But, not always are the loyal companions of the human beings are treated with the amount of care that they surely deserve. It is heartbreaking to see that many animals succumb to untimely death, thanks to the deprivation of the very basic health care that is needed.
In developed and developing countries animal wellness is a major social issue with people being more aware about the upkeep of their pets. As the owners, it goes beyond just feeding the pet. One has to make sure that their pets are in the best hygiene condition and also maintains the basic good health parameters. Timely and regular checkups are the keywords here by virtue of which pet owners can resist a number of ailments in their pets. There are numbers of veterinary clinics or animal hospitals about in any major metropolis and even in the suburbs. It only takes a little effort from the viewpoint of the pet owners to take their pets for diagnosis in a few months time.
Much progress has been made in the field of veterinary science in recent times and that is something that will come to the aid of pet owners in the near future. The one aspect of animal science that has made much improvement is surgeries in animal hospitals. Advanced means of life saving surgeries like amputation and more are now possible without much danger to the animals life. This essentially means some more years of life for the animals, even if they attain an injury.
It is evident from the decreasing death rates among animals in developing countries that the steps towards animal wellness are yielding good results. Much work is still to be done; given the advancement in veterinary science is recent years. One can only expect the situation in developing countries to better in times to come. It is the government too who can play a vital role in the overall scheme of things. Grants alone wont do as regular supervision is also necessary. There is a fine line in splurging and optimum use, especially when it comes to animal wellness. That fine line can only be maintained by proper intervention from the government.
My uncle who is an artisan was the first person to give me a good description of a Zebra. He used one of his Zebra Wood Carving as a model to describe the black and white stripes on the Zebra’s skin. The description was so accurate that when I later saw the live animal I could identify it easily and confidently. The Zebra’s stripes are its trade mark indeed.
Plain Zebra,Grev’s Zebra and Mountain Zebra are the three Zebra species that are known to exist. All the three species occur in Africa. The Plains Zebra are the most plentiful and can be found virtually anywhere on the Kenyan plains and other parts of East Africa while the Grevy’s Zebra are mostly found in Northern Kenya. The Plains Zebra and Grev’s Zebra of Kenya have been known to coexist in the same habitat. The Mountain Zebra have their habitat in Southern and Southwestern Africa. Zebras are herbivorous and can grow up to 900 lb (410kg) or more. Being social animal, they move in herds of different sizes.
While the black and white stripe pattern makes the Zebra spectacular, the amazing facts about the stripes go beyond the beauty. For years scientists have argued about why the zebra has distinctive black and white stripes. The theories rotate around Zebra Identity and Camouflage. This article discusses these amazing theories:
– Description: Whether the Zebra’s stripes are white on a black background, as some people say, or vice versa is academic. I leave it at that.
– Identity: At first glance Zebras in a herd might all look alike, but their stripe patterns are as distinctive as fingerprints are in humans. There are, indeed, scientific methods that can identify individual Zebras by comparing patterns, stripe widths and colour. Further proof that Zebra stripes are identity marks is provided by their behavior. For example, on rare occasions when unstriped Zebras are born, they tend to be ignored by the rest of the herd, confirming at least, that Zebra stripes are a passport to Zebra society. Also, when a foal is born, the mother keeps all other Zebras away from it for two to three days, until it learns to recognize her by sight, voice and smell.
– Camouflage: Scientists believe the Zebra’s stripes provide camouflage in the following manner:
– The vertical stripes of a Zebra will resemble tall grass, save for the colour-grass is neither black nor white. A colour blind predator, like a lion, may, therefore, not notice a Zebra standing still in tall grass. – The Zebra stripe pattern forms a discolouration that breaks up the body outline. A herd of Zebras close together may thus appear like one large animal. The advantage of all this to the Zebra is best appreciated when you consider that the main predator for the Zebra is the lion, which is colour blind. Now, in attack, the lion must first identify the target, usually a young, old or a weakened Zebra. The Lion’s eyes must then lock on the target Zebra. If, for whatever reason, the Lion is unable to achieve any of these steps, then,its stealth and ambush attack strategy is likely to be in vain.
