Questions & Answers

While Poodles do not typically have any more dander (the primary cause of allergies in people) than other breeds of dogs, individuals who are prone to allergies may experience a reaction when exposed to a Poodle. Some individuals may be sensitive to the Poodle's fur as well, and those with acute allergies should always consult their physician if they are considering bringing a Poodle into their home. Likewise, if a Poodle is brought into a home with someone who has allergies, careful monitoring and additional allergist visits may be required to ensure that the individual is not having a reaction.
Poodles are generally known for their cute and fluffy coats, but this doesn't mean they don't need proper nutrition. Poodles eat a variety of foods, depending on their size and age. Generally, it's good practice to feed them a high-quality dry kibble with additional protein, such as eggs, cooked beef, chicken, fish, and cottage cheese. Be sure to provide fruits and vegetables that are cooked with minimal salt, and always ensure that fresh water is available to your poodle.
Preparing for your new Poodle can seem daunting but with the right steps you can ensure your pup is set up for success. Start by doing your research. Get to know the breed and develop a better understanding of their care requirements and personality. Next, gather the essential supplies for your pup such as food, bedding, training equipment, toys, and grooming items. Additionally, it’s important to set up a plan for potty training, crate training, and basic obedience training. Lastly, consider enrolling your pup in puppy socialization classes.
It is difficult to predict how large a Common or Toy Poodle puppy will be at adulthood. Common Poodles can reach heights ranging from 15 to 22 inches, while Toy Poodles can reach heights from 10 to 15 inches. Additionally, the weight of a mature Common Poodle can range from 40 to 70 pounds, and a Toy Poodle can range from 4 10 pounds. How big your Poodle puppy will be as an adult will depend on several factors, such as the size and health of the parents, the gender of the puppy, as well as their general activity level.
Poodles require a fair amount of exercise to maintain their exceptional physical and mental health. These smart and active dogs are best suited to an environment where they receive daily walks and play sessions of 30 minutes to 1 hour each day. They'll also need a 45-minute play and exercise session at least once every few days, and in certain cases twice a day. In addition to walking and playing, Poodles thrive on activities such as agility, brain games, and playing fetch.

Whether training a Poodle is easy or not can depend on you and your pup's unique relationship. Generally, Poodles are known for their intelligence which means they are trainable, but patience is key. Be consistent when training and establish clear rules and expectations to help your pup understand that their actions have consequences.
