Caring for a Miniature Poodle
- Maintenance: Brush 3 times a week and bathe at least once a month.
Grooming: When brushing always use products that will not damage the coat or skin of your Poodle. After brushing always follow up with a comb to check for any hidden knots that may have been missed.
Haircut: Its standard demands a scissored cut of full round shapes. In pet grooming typically we see them use clippers first to start the shape and then finish with scissors.
Special Attention: On lighter coloured coats you may spot brown staining around eyes, this can be maintained with the right product and care.
Recommended Grooming Appointments: Visit a grooming salon every 6 to 8 weeks depending on the length of the haircut wanted, the longer you wish to keep the hair the less time should be left between appointments. Apart from this the pet should be bathed at least once a month to keep it's white coat clean.

What is the Poodle like?
The Poodle is known for their intelligence and trainability. These dogs have a sweet and friendly personality and are ideal for life in a big home but can adjust to a smaller living space as well.
These dogs have a soft, dense coat which requires regular maintenance to keep it in good condition; meaning healthy, shiny and knot free.
They are very active breeds and require a good deal of exercise and mental stimulation to keep happy.
It is important to note that they are susceptible to some common health problems regarding the ears and teeth, so regular vet visits are important to prevent and treat these problems.
Overall, this breed is an excellent choice for anyone wanting a companion dog who is fun-loving and intelligent - however it is important to remember that any potential owner needs to be committed to training the dog and willing to invest the time and patience needed to achieve this.
