Poodles are known for their intelligence, elegance, and hypoallergenic coat. But did you know that poodles come in three different size variations: Toy, Miniature, and Standard? Each size category has its own unique characteristics and traits. Let’s explore the key differences between these three types of poodles:

Toy Poodles:

Toy poodles are the smallest of the poodle sizes, typically weighing between 4 to 6 pounds and standing under 10 inches tall at the shoulder. They are compact, delicate, and often referred to as lap dogs due to their small size. Toy poodles are known for their charming and affectionate personalities, making them popular companions for individuals living in smaller spaces.

Miniature Poodles:

Miniature poodles are slightly larger than toy poodles but still smaller than standard poodles. They usually weigh between 10 to 15 pounds and stand around 10 to 15 inches tall at the shoulder.

Best Care Tips for Standard Poodle Puppies

- by Jarrod Marcelino

Standard Poodle puppies are not only adorable but also require specific care to ensure they grow up healthy, happy, and well-adjusted. If you are a proud owner of a standard poodle puppy or considering bringing one into your home, here are some best care tips to help you raise a thriving furry companion:

1. Proper Grooming:

Standard Poodles are known for their beautiful curly coat, but this also means they require regular grooming to prevent matting and keep their coat healthy. Brush your puppy’s coat daily to prevent tangles and matting, and consider professional grooming every 4-6 weeks to keep their coat in top condition.

2. Socialization:

Early socialization is crucial for standard poodle puppies to ensure they grow up to be well-behaved and confident dogs. Expose your puppy to different people, environments, and other pets from a young age to help them develop good social skills and prevent fearfulness.

3. Training:

Standard Poodles are intelligent and eager to please, making them highly trainable. Start training your puppy as soon as you bring them home, using positive reinforcement techniques like treats and praise. Basic obedience training will not only help your puppy behave well but also strengthen the bond between …

What Animals Not To Pet Sit

- by Jarrod Marcelino

One of the situations that you must avoid is sitting for a dog that is kept tethered because this may cause circumstances that you might not be able to handle. Tethered dogs tend to be much less social than dogs that are allowed to interact with people and other pets.

Years ago a friend of mine had a dog that changed overnight from a little guard dog to a cruel madman. Nobody can understand why the dog underwent a radical change. He can’t find a pet sitter if he tries because his dog is out of control. The owner himself could not understand the erratic behavior and finally had to take him to the vet for examination.

While going through the dog’s medical history, the veterinarian discovered that the dog was due for its shots. But what could have brought this behavior on? Was it due to a thyroid malfunction? What could have caused such change? Could it have been brought on by some other medication? Upon doing research the veterinarian discovered that this could have been caused by any number of things such as, anxiety, irritability, and hyperactivity. He just could not figure out what was causing this behavior. …

I never fully understood the idea of “they fight like cats and dogs.” As a child, we was lacking many pets. My younger sister had a bird or two, but no cats or dogs. I couldn’t fathom why people assumed that these two kinds of animals would not get along. From what I knew, most cats were sassy, sly quiet pets while most dogs were all bark with no action – a sensitive, yet lazy breed. Sounds like the perfect match, right?

– How can you tell your dog is sick

– For animals it would be a touch with their nose to ascertain if it can be cold and wet

– If it is not cold and wet your canine friend might be sick

– But often even if their nose is cold and wet they may stop feeling good

– Like humans pets thinks down and merely desire to lay around more than usual

– Sometimes they’ll set off alone if they don’t feel great, they can’t always tell us what is wrong
