Answer
Chris,

Hello!  Sorry I've taken so long to reply, but I'm having massive computer problems.  What kind of shampoo and conditioner you use depends on the type of fur your Poms have.  However, in general, any kind of shampoo should do fine if they don't have fleas or other skin problems.  As far as conditioner, I would recommend using conditioner that also detangles, so when you brush their fur afterwards, it is a lot easier.  You should blow dry (on low) your Pom's fur while brushing, to get the "groomed" look.  You can even use lightly scented shampoo and conditioner, if you like.  As long as it is made for dogs, and not humans.  Human shampoo will dry the skin out, making it itch.

Hope I've helped you and should you need anything else, just let me know!
