Weekly:
* Brushing: Brush your Toy Poodle's coat thoroughly at least once a week to remove loose hair and prevent mats. Use a pin brush or slicker brush for their long, curly coat.
* Nail trimming: Trim their nails every week or as needed to prevent them from growing too long and becoming uncomfortable.
* Ear cleaning: Check their ears for dirt or debris and clean them gently with a pet-safe ear cleaning solution.
Monthly:
* Bath: Bathe your Toy Poodle every 4-6 weeks or as needed, using a gentle, pH-balanced shampoo and conditioner specifically formulated for dogs.
* Teeth brushing: Brush their teeth at least once a week to prevent plaque and tartar buildup.
Professional Grooming:
* Full grooming: It is recommended to take your Toy Poodle to a professional groomer for a full grooming, including bathing, brushing, trimming, and nail trimming, every 6-8 weeks.
Important notes:
* The frequency of grooming may vary depending on your Toy Poodle's individual coat type and lifestyle.
* If you notice any mats or tangles in your dog's coat, try to brush them out carefully or consult with a professional groomer.
* Make sure to use only pet-safe products and to be gentle when grooming your dog.
Always consult with your veterinarian or a professional groomer if you have any questions or concerns about your Toy Poodle's grooming needs.
