🐩 Poodle

Meet the Poodle

Poodles come in three sizes and one big brain. They rank among the most trainable dogs, love a challenge, and shed very little, which suits many allergy prone households. That special coat is the main commitment.

Bright, playful, and quick to learn. Poodles enjoy problem solving and reward patient, positive training with real enthusiasm.

Your first 30 days together

These breed aware tips sit on top of the core plan. Follow them alongside your day by day guide for the smoothest possible start.

• Book a groomer early so coat care starts on a happy note
• Offer puzzle toys to satisfy that clever mind
• Begin gentle brushing at home to prevent mats
• Keep training upbeat, as Poodles love to show off
• Match exercise to size, since needs vary by variety

Grooming and coat care

The curly coat needs brushing every day or two and a professional trim every few weeks. Regular ear checks help prevent moisture buildup.

Health notes to keep in mind

Share these with your vet at the first visit. They are common points for the breed, not a diagnosis, and your vet is always the best guide for your individual pet.

• Book regular grooming to keep the coat mat free
• Ask your vet about eye and joint checks
• Clean ears gently, as the coat can trap damp
