I feel dry food is best for dogs teeth because it cleans the tarter. As dogs get older the tarter builds up and their gums become sore and your dog won't eat the hard types of foods which they need. Brush their teeth every day. To get your dog to gain a taste for dry food mix water or other liquid and let soak until kibbles become softer. I like the Eukenuba brand. Poodles can eat fresh baked, boiled chicken, plain yogurt, apples, rice, steamed carrots,steamed green beans. Don't feed your dog chocolate, acid foods, or junk foods like pizza, or fast foods are not good for dogs because it causes food allergies, skin problems, stomach upsets.

How do youp train a poodle?

Poodles are extremely intelligent and learn through operant conditioning, just like any other dog. Get some small treats or break medium sized treats into pieces. Have the dog smell the treat and move away before they can eat it. Say a command and if they do not respond physically do it for them. I.e. sit... if they don't sit, push their bottoms down until they are sitting. Give them the treat then, even if you had to make them follow the command. Make sure you are SAYING the command. Continue to do this until they catch on and do it themselves to get to the treat faster.

To eliminate undesirable behaviors, look at the dog and tell them no as you gesture toward what they have done or are doing. Once they stop, perhaps pass the vacuum-- most dogs hate the vacuum.

Make sure you also reward them for good behaviors with treats and do not confuse them. When they are in trouble, they are in trouble. When they are being rewarded they have done something good.

This tends to work best and last longer if they are puppies.

When do you neuter a poodle?

Depending on the age of the dog, you want to get them fixed before their first heat or in between their heats. You can get them fixed while they are in heat, but the procedure is more hurtful and difficult. You would want to contact your vet to set up the best time to get your dog spayed. My dog was 4 years old when she got spayed and she recovered fine. I only had her for 7 months, but she did go through 3 heats before I could get her in. Hope this helps.

What are the needs of a poodle?

A poodle requires regular brushing and they should be groomed every 6-8 weeks depending on how quick the fur grows. Your poodle should have his/her ears plucked every 2-4 weeks depending on how quickly the hair grows and the ears should be cleaned once a week. A poodle requires it's nails to be trimmed every 4 weeks.

Most groomers will pluck the ears and trim the nails as well as styling their coat. Personally I would recommend the puppy trim if you go to a groomer as it keeps the coat short and the face trimmed and the dog does not look bald. Always fluff the legs up as it looks cute.

As with all dogs you need to walk the poodle regularly and have him checked by a vet whenever you suspect illness etc.

it needs to look pretty!

How many times do you wash your toy poodle?

This really depends on your own preference and whether there is a medical reason to bathe your poodle more frequently. As a rule of thumb, if your poodle smells he/she will definitely need a bath. :-)

I have two poodles and my youngest needs a bath every 3-4 weeks because he has allergies which irritate his skin and causes him to have a strong doggy smell. However, my oldest dog doesn't need bathing as frequently, I usually bathe him every 6-10 weeks depending on when he needs a hair cut or more frequently if he smells.

I hope this helped.

What is the differences between a bichon and a poodle?

Which breed is smaller toy poodle or bichon frise?

Yes! The smallest dog that was ever on this planet was not a toy poodle. To tell the truth, toy poodles are small, but there are smaller dogs and breeds. The toy poodle is a breed that could be on the top ten smallest breeds! The chihuahua is the number one smallest dog breed in the world.

The so-called teacup dogs are basically anything smaller than the range of a particular breed in the toy category (eg a toy poodle less than 4 pounds), but it is not a recognized distinction, not is it valued, except as a novelty. Teacup dogs may be runts or preemies, and breeding for that trait can lead to serious health problems.

What is a good name for a female Toy Poodle?

Name it something cute that you think would be a good name.

Additional Thoughts:

Dogs like people have personalities, and they display these personalities readily. Names should communicate some aspect of that personality, or perhaps humorously contrast it. For instance, it is not out of place to name a four foot tall great Dane Stilts, or to name a 200 pound mastiff Tiny.

Frankly, the dog doesn't care. For the first month or so, she is not even going to make the connection between the grunts, pops, and sibilants you spit at her with herself. It will take time for her to make the connection, and frankly no small amount of work on your part.

Besides, what I might name a female toy poodle and what you would name one is likely to differ quite a bit.

Just for the record, if I were to own a toy poodle--and I'm not personally fond of any of the toy breeds--I would be inclined to name her Boudica or Elizabeth Bathory, possibly even Akasha (from Anne Rice's Queen of the Damned), much as I might name a male Phobos (fear) or Deimos(dread).
