How to feed a Pomeranian in its new home?
Do not switch food immediately; learn the previous diet and keep it until the dog adapts, then transition gradually. A new Pom may feel insecure, so let it explore and place its bed in a quiet corner to avoid night barking. Avoid early baths, as stress weakens immunity and risks colds.
I bathed it the day before yesterday; it started vomiting the next day several times, and now today it has diarrhea.

What happens if you bathe a puppy?
Bathing a puppy easily causes chills and colds, and may trigger a stress reaction. Puppies have weak resistance and sensitive skin, so poor warmth during bathing can lead to colds; rough or long baths can cause stress with loss of appetite, lethargy, vomiting, and diarrhea. Wait until vaccines are done; use dry shampoo or a damp towel if dirty.
Why Do Cats Stare at the Wall?
It is normal for a cat to stare at a blank wall - it may have seen or heard something that caught its attention.

Do Cats Get Bored Staying Indoors?
Indoor cats are usually content at home and don't need walks, but they can grow bored or stressed when an owner rarely interacts with them.

A dedicated quiet retreat and simple food-finding games add valuable mental stimulation.

What can scare a cat?
Cats are very sensitive and many simple things scare them. A sudden loud noise when relaxed, like a dog bark, thunder, or firecrackers, frightens them. Most cats fear water, so they are scared during baths. Facing a stronger enemy also scares them; if you often hit and scold it, it may be scared and even have a stress reaction.
What if a Golden Retriever skips a day of food?
Skipping one day affects the gut but is usually fine if the dog is healthy, so do not worry much. But do not let it go hungry often, or gut problems like vomiting, diarrhea, bloating, and low appetite follow. If often out, use a timed feeder. If stress-related, comfort it; appetite returns in about two days.
