Tips on Grooming Your Toy Poodle

    High Maintenance: Regular weekly grooming with a brush and the occasional bath will keep them clean and looking their best. Grooming can be a wonderful bonding experience for you and your pet. Their strong fast-growing nails should be trimmed regularly with a nail clipper or grinder to avoid overgrowth, splitting and cracking. Their ears should be checked regularly to avoid a buildup of wax and debris which can result in an infection. Teeth should be brushed regularly.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Toy Poodle Dog?

    Brushing and combing your dog's hair coat is an essential part of standard pet care. Brushing really helps to keep your Toy Poodle dog's coat in good condition by removing loose hair and avoiding hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also helps to spread healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, ensuring a glossy coat and helping dirt to slide off the hair. This can also help to decrease the need to bath and therefore lessen the occurrence of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Toy Poodle dog are activities that help to enhance the positive relationship bond between your family pet and you. Brushing should be a pleasurable and comfy experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Toy Poodle

    How often to brush and groom your dog will depend on each personal dog. Dogs tend to differ in their need for brushing because of their coat type and length and also depending on their latest activities.

    Dogs with short coats commonly require much less brushing and grooming compared to dogs with medium to long haired coats as these longer coats can get tangles, mats and debris trapped in them more easily.

    Some very short-haired pet dogs may not need traditional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may rather like to try a soft grooming glove to gently remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Canines should be brushed 'as required'. Owners should keep an eye on the condition of their dog's coat, searching for any tangles/mats or dullness which suggests they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a couple of minutes to several hours a week depending on your type of dog.
