Maintenance
It is recommended to brush a poodle 2-3 times a week to prevent matting and keep the coat healthy and well-groomed. Baths can be given approximately once a month with products suitable for the coat's texture.
Brushing
A poodle's curly coat requires regular care to prevent tangles and matting. Brushing several times a week with a slicker brush and a comb helps keep the coat free of knots, while also ventilating the skin and maintaining the coat's beautiful structure.
It is recommended to use conditioning products during brushing to protect the coat from wear and tear and make it easier to comb through.
Clipping
Poodles are one of the breeds that offer the most possibilities for clipping and styling. Their coat grows continuously and therefore requires regular clipping to remain healthy and well-groomed.
Many choose a practical teddy bear clip for everyday use, while others prefer more classic poodle clips. Clipping is typically done with clippers, comb attachments, and scissors to achieve the desired look.
Areas around the eyes, paws, and intimate areas should be kept well-groomed for comfort and hygiene.
Special attention
Poodles can be prone to tear stains, which can cause discoloration around the eyes. Regular cleaning of the eye area helps keep the area clean and tidy.
Also, pay attention to areas behind the ears, in the armpits, and around the collar or harness, where mats can form more easily.
Recommended grooming visits
A professional bath once a month is recommended to keep the coat clean and well-groomed. Clipping is typically recommended every 6-8 weeks, depending on coat length and desired appearance.
A grooming visit can include bathing, blow-drying, clipping, ear check, nail trim, and general coat care.
Brushes for Poodles
A poodle's curly coat requires regular brushing to maintain its natural structure and prevent mats.
It is recommended to brush the coat several times a week with a brush and then go through the coat with a comb to ensure that no knots are hidden close to the skin.
If knots or beginning mats occur, a detangling spray can be an effective aid to gently loosen the coat and make it easier to comb through without unnecessary pulling.
Shampoo and Conditioner for Poodles
A bath approximately once a month with products suitable for curly coats helps maintain both the coat's structure and skin health.
A conditioner after bathing is especially important for poodles, as it moisturizes, helps prevent matting, and makes the coat easier to comb through. At the same time, it enhances the curls and leaves the coat soft and shiny.
Clipping a Cavapoo
A poodle's coat grows continuously and therefore requires regular clipping to remain healthy, well-groomed, and free of mats.
Poodles are known for their versatile coat, which can be styled in many different ways – from practical everyday clips to more classic and breed-specific poodle clips. Clipping is typically done with clippers, comb attachments, and scissors to create the desired look.
Areas around the eyes, paws, and intimate areas are often kept shorter for comfort and hygiene.
How often a poodle should be clipped depends on factors such as size, coat length, and desired hairstyle:
• Toy Poodle: typically every 4-6 weeks
• Miniature Poodle: typically every 4-8 weeks
• Medium Poodle: typically every 6-8 weeks
• Standard Poodle: typically every 6-10 weeks
General Poodle Care
Ears: Poodle ears should be checked and cleaned regularly to prevent the accumulation of earwax, moisture, and irritation. The dense fur around the ear canal makes it extra important to monitor ear hygiene.
Eyes: Some poodles may be prone to tear stains, which can cause discoloration around the eyes. Regular cleaning of the eye area helps keep the area clean and tidy.
Teeth: Regular brushing helps prevent tartar and contributes to fresh breath and good oral hygiene. Chews and dental treats can be a good supplement to daily dental care.
Skin and Coat: Poodles with light coats or thinly clipped areas may be more sensitive to prolonged sun exposure. Ensure access to shade on hot days and keep the skin well-groomed to counteract dryness.

Nail Clippers for Cavapoos
Poodles come in several sizes – Toy Poodle, Miniature Poodle, Medium Poodle, and Standard Poodle – and the choice of nail clipper should be adapted to the dog's size and nail thickness.
Regular nail care is important to ensure good comfort and a natural movement pattern. Nails that are too long can affect gait, posture, and the strain on paws and joints.
As a rule of thumb, it is recommended:
• Toy Poodle and Miniature Poodle: small nail clipper
• Medium Poodle: small or medium-sized nail clipper
• Standard Poodle: medium or large nail clipper
