Do Pomeranians smell bad?

Not particularly for a double-coated breed. They have moderate odor that stays manageable with regular brushing and bathing.

How often should I bathe a Pomeranian?

Every 6 weeks. Avoid bathing more frequently as it strips the coat oils that maintain the characteristic fluffy texture.

Brushing releases trapped dead skin cells and debris from the undercoat. A bath after a thorough brush-out is the most effective odor reset.

Yes. They shed moderately year-round and have two heavy shedding seasons. Daily brushing during shedding season prevents undercoat matting.
