How to Care for Your Schnoodle

Schnoodles are domestic dogs that are cross-bred from Schnauzers and Poodles. Like both Schnauzers and Poodles, Schnoodles come in a variety of colors and sizes. They are generally considered good family dogs. They are also recommended for those with allergies, since they shed very little. But, like any dog, Schnoodles require a healthy diet, proper grooming, a safe environment and a lot of love and attention.

      Feed your Schnoodle twice daily and provide fresh, clean water. The type and amount of food you feed your Schnoodle in each serving varies depending on the size of the dog. According to DesignerMixes.org, most Schnoodles eat around one cup of food a day.

      Exercise your Schnoodle every day. Schnoodles are very energetic dogs and enjoy walking and running with their owners, but can also be exercised through regular play. Scnoodles, which typically enjoy fetch and tug-of-war, need between 30 and 60 minutes of exercise a day.

      Brush your Schnoodle often to keep its coat soft and shiny. Since Schnoodles shed very little, it is important to keep their fur clean and brushed.

      Groom the dog every two to three months. Some Shnoodles with bushier or curlier coats will need to be groomed every six to eight weeks. Many Schnoodles experience extensive hair growth around the ears; this hair should be groomed to reduce the risk of ear infections.

      Spend as much time with your Schnoodle as possible. Schnoodles need a great deal of attention, and can actually develop separation anxiety when left alone for long periods of time.
