Grooming Tips

Poodles have continuously growing hair (not fur) that requires regular professional grooming. Their curly coat is hypoallergenic but prone to matting. Keep the face, feet, and tail trimmed between professional visits. A slicker brush is your best friend for daily maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do Poodles need grooming?
Every 4-6 weeks. Poodle hair grows continuously like human hair, so regular trims are essential.
What are popular Poodle haircuts?
The continental, puppy cut, teddy bear, and lamb cut are most popular. Most pet owners prefer the puppy cut for easy maintenance.
Do Poodles need to be groomed in summer?
Yes — even more so. Keeping the coat shorter in summer prevents overheating, but never shave a Poodle completely as their skin needs UV protection.
