Grooming - Unlike most dog breeds, poodles do not shed

Unlike most dog breeds, poodles do not shed. While that means there will not be fur coating the living room couch, it also means routine grooming is important to a poodle's well-being. Unkempt hair will become knotted, matted and uncomfortable for your pet.

Many owners decide to send their poodles to professional groomers because of the skill and time involved. Other owners, however, attempt to do the task themselves. There are a plethora of poodle styles out there. Some owners intend to enter their poodle as a show dog in competitions, while others keep them as regular pets.
