VET INSIGHTS
Japanese Spitzes are intelligent, small-to-medium companions reaching full physical maturity by age two. They feature a pure white double coat that sheds moderately year-round and heavily twice a year. While not hypoallergenic, their coat is relatively low-maintenance due to dirt-repellent properties. Daily meals of 1-1.5 cups and consistent exercise are essential for this energetic, family-oriented breed.
