How long ago did you shave your dog? If it's only been a few weeks this is normal. I have 4 Bichon Frise dogs and when I shave them it can take up to 4 months before their hair grows back.
The dog's hair will grow back, but it might take a few months. My female Bichon's hair takes longer to grow than the males. His hair grows rather fast and is very thick. Just give it time. It is hard to see the hair growth when you are with the dog daily.
Your response is completely inaccurate! A Bichon is NOT a Pom which is a double-coated breed! Any owner who decides to have their Pom or other double-coated breed shaved takes the risk of forever ruining their pets beautiful coat.
Thank you that's what happened to me at Petco's Groomer. He says he had to shave my Poms hair and it's been a year with no growth. (Says he had no choice it was matted and this is my first dog). My Vet advised me to give 5 mg melatonin daily. No obvious change.
If any suggestions I appreciate you. Aloha and God bless!
Pomeranians should not be shaved. If the inner layer was cut into, the hair should grow back. If it was cut into, the hair may grow back coarse, or not at all.
this is insane i had no idea
I am devastated! same happened to my beautiful Pom. At least I will make sure the groomer gets fired
I guess you have to blame someone for the owners mistake
Owner - booked a clip
I'm a groomer and own a Pomeranian I clip my pom but not to skin and yes she grows back
Pom's should not be shaved and your groomer should have informed you of the problems with cutting his fur too short. it is possible that it may never look like it did in the past but it will take a long time to regrow to any length.
This was a gross negligence on your groomer's part as this is common knowledge with experienced/professional groomers.
All you can do now is take good care of him as his fur slowly grows and hope for the best.
Generally it won't grow back like it was.. It will come back in patches. Here is a success story of someone's whose hair did grow back. Good luck!
Try sulfer and lard on the spot where the hair is not growing,this works for mange.
aside from the obvious (visit the vet) then I would say that some dog breeds (such as Poms) do have tendency towards an alopecia condition that is harmless though not particularly beauteous.
some vets and others advocate supplementing his diet with omega 3, specifically fish oils. Some ppl have reported the hair growing back after that
i want to amend that i did not know that the breed itself would be harmed by shaving, though certain of these dogs DO get Alopecia X or Black Skin Disease (and I found out bc our neighbor's dog has this and I saw it firsthand so looked it up bc i found it interesting)

.. and that condition CAN be cured by fish oil, it sounds like what's happening here is different and caused by the groomer.
My Pomeranian "Juju" shouldn't have been shaved. I give her 3 mg melatonin daily and slowly it is working. If any other suggestions let us know.
