Questions & Answers
Poodles are a very intelligent breed of dog that can learn up to 200 commands and words. They also have a unique look that notably includes their curly coat and pom-pom style haircuts. In fact, their coats are so water resistant that they used to be the breed of choice by duck hunters. They come in a variety of sizes, too! Standard poodles are the breed’s largest, weighing anywhere from 45-70 lbs. This is followed by the miniature poodle, which is around 10-15 lbs.
Poodles are considered to be low-shedding dogs and with the right care, they can even be considered non-shedding. They do not shed as much hair as other dog breeds, however, they do require regular grooming to keep their coat healthy and to minimize shedding. For example, regular brushing and haircuts can help keep the coat healthy and reduce shedding. Additionally, adjusting the diet can also help reduce shedding, for example, feeding a high-quality diet rich in omega 3 fatty acids can help keep the coat and skin healthy and reduce shedding.
Poodles, just like any other dog breed, should not be given foods that are high in fat, such as bacon or processed meats. Additionally, cooked bones should be avoided, as they can be a choking hazard and can splinter when chewed. Moreover, human food, such as chocolate, can be toxic to dogs, and this applies to Poodles as well. On the other hand, many "people foods" are safe for Poodles, such as small bits of fresh vegetables, plain yogurt, and natural peanut butter. However, treats should be given in moderation.
Before getting a Poodle, it is important to invest in some essentials to help you create a comfortable and safe environment for your pet. Some necessities include a collar, leash, water and food bowls, fun and durable chew toys, and grooming tools such as a brush, nail clippers and a toothbrush. It is also important to ensure that you have enough space in your home and that you find an experienced vet who specializes in poodles. Additionally, it is crucial to secure a quality dog food and of course enough of it for your pup.
