Poodles are among the most intelligent and trainable of all breeds, and their curly, low-shedding coat makes them popular with allergy-conscious owners. Available in Toy, Miniature and Standard sizes, they are athletic, eager to learn and thrive on mental and physical activity.
Poodles can be prone to hip dysplasia, eye conditions, and in smaller varieties, dental and patella issues; Standards can be at risk of bloat. Routine screening and a maintained health record help you stay ahead of breed-specific risks.
Their dense, curly coat does not shed much but mats easily, so it needs brushing several times a week and professional grooming every four to six weeks. Keep ears clean and dry, and stay on top of dental care.
Poodles are highly intelligent and need both physical exercise and mental challenges — training, puzzle games and dog sports suit them well. Bored Poodles can become anxious or mischievous, so keep their minds engaged.
Feed a quality diet sized to their variety and activity level. Smaller Poodles need carefully measured portions, and all sizes benefit from steady weight management.
Petso gives your pet a verified digital identity and one secure home for vaccinations, vet visits, weight and reminders — so their full history travels with them.
No dog is truly hypoallergenic, but Poodles shed very little and produce less loose dander, which many allergy sufferers tolerate better. Regular grooming helps further.
Standards suit active homes with space; Miniatures are versatile mid-size companions; Toys fit smaller homes. All three are highly intelligent and need grooming and mental stimulation.
