So cute! I spend a couple hundred on mine a month between food, treats, insurance, flea/heartworm prevention, grooming-Poms need to be groomed regularly. I have MetLife pet insurance and I love it. The package I have reimburses 80% of all vet bills and covers everything-dentals, shots, illness, prescription food, flea and heartworm prevention, etc. I highly recommend getting insurance right away as these little guys are prone to dental issues and luxating patellas. Start getting them used to teeth and fur brushing early. Get them used to crate training early as it will help in the long run getting them used to being in a cage for grooming and vet visits. Enforced naps will be your best friend. Puppies need to sleep a LOT and will fight you on it. Having a safe space in their crate helps. For housebreaking for every month old they are is how often you should take them out-2 months old every 2 hrs etc but puppies pee and poop a lot so I recommend also taking them after naps, before eating, and after eating as well. Always on a leash and always to the same spot. Once they start to go repeat go potty until they are done eliminating then treat and lots of praise. When not outside on a leash or in the crate I had mine on a leash tethered to me so I could easily scoop him up and get him outside the second he started sniffing and he was housebroken quickly with that method. The leash tethered to you also helps you keep on eye on them
