Poodle Miniature

All dogs shed, some a little and some a lot. Poodles shed minimally, almost not at all if kept clipped. The perception of how much a dog sheds typically related to how much fur ends up on clothing, furniture and carpets. For curly-coated or wire-coated dogs, for example, shed fur tends to stick in the coat until combed out. Short-haired and long-haired dogs shed a similar amount but longer fur tends to make a bigger impression.

To keep your Miniature Poodle free of mats and tangles, schedule grooming every 6 to 8 weeks. Regular brushing and combing along with baths as needed will keep your Poodle looking great between grooming appointments.

The key to your Poodle having a shiny, healthy coat can be found both on the inside and on the outside of a dog. Good health, good nutrition and veterinary-prescribed parasite control will contribute to a healthy, shiny coat. Regular combing, brushing and bathing as needed will keep a Poodle's healthy coat looking great. A slicker brush will restore the fluff to areas not kept clipped short.
