Questions people ask
Is a Pomapoo good with kids?
Generally yes. Pomapoos are usually good with children when raised with them and given their own quiet space.
Is a Pomapoo good with cats?
Usually yes. Pomapoos typically settle well with a resident cat — introduce them slowly and give the cat a high perch and a way out of the room.
How much exercise does a Pomapoo need?
A real walk every day, around 30–60 minutes.
Can a Pomapoo handle hot weather?
About average — use normal hot-day sense.
