Grooming and Care
One of the biggest advantages of the Poodle breed is their hypoallergenic, non-shedding coat. Regular brushing 3 - 4 times per week helps prevent tangles and keeps their curls soft and healthy. Monthly baths with a gentle dog shampoo are recommended, along with routine grooming every 6 – 8 weeks to maintain their stylish appearance.
Dental care is essential, as toy breeds can be prone to gum issues. Regular vet checkups, nail trimming, and ear cleaning should also be part of their routine care.
