Poodle Grooming
Grooming is the most challenging part of owning a poodle. Good grooming is important for all dogs, but it is absolutely essential for poodles. A well-groomed Poodle will not only look his or her best; good grooming helps prevent skin, coat, and dental and other health problems.
It is often said “Poodles are non-shedding and hypo-allergenic.” Well, poodles do shed, but the loose hair stays in the coat rather than falling out in the house. In order to keep your poodles coat from becoming a matted mess, you must brush and comb her several times a week. As for being hypo-allergenic, many people with allergies have no problems living with a poodle because the poodle does not develop dander which is what actually causes the allergic reaction.
The hair of a poodle never stops growing; therefore a full clipping every four to six weeks is required. You can have your poodle groomed by a professional or learn how to groom her yourself.
