Are toy poodles contagious to lice or eggs?

Toy poodles, like any other dog, can be infected with lice and their eggs. Lice are not contagious to humans, but they can be transferred from one dog to another.

Here's why:

* Lice are species-specific: Dog lice only infest dogs, and human lice only infest humans. They cannot switch hosts.

* Transmission: Lice are spread through direct contact with an infected dog, or by sharing contaminated items like bedding or grooming tools.

* Eggs: Lice eggs, called nits, are attached to the dog's hair and can hatch into new lice.

So, while toy poodles are susceptible to lice, they cannot pass lice or eggs to humans. However, it's important to be aware of the signs of lice infestation in your dog and take appropriate steps to treat it.
