When it comes to the maintenance of a poodle it is pretty straight forward. Poodles have a curly, water resistant, coat of hair (they don’t have fur). Around every 6 weeks poodles need to be groomed and trimmed up. It is also common that poodle owners tend to cut their poodles hair at home, themselves. With the right pair of clippers it is easy to keep up on your poodles coat. When it comes to washing, the more frequent the better, their coats can grow build up and start to smell bad if they’re not washed regularly.

Each owner chooses how they want their dogs hair cut obviously so poodles have many different looks. Show dog owners really go all out.

As far as poodles health, it is important to take them to the vet regularly and make sure they’re up to date on all their shots and overall healthy. It is important to constantly check up on genetic health issues, it is common for poodles to have genetic disorders like Addison’s disease passed down to them through their bloodline.
