I have been asked many times what I recommend as a breeder for the basic care of toy poodles.  This page is a guide to help current and future Toy Poodle owners.

 

1) Dog Food:  The dry dog food I highly recommend is Life’s Abundance.  It is a premium pet food made using only fresh, human-quality ingredients. It is a nutrient-dense food with high-quality meat proteins and NO by-products such as corn, wheat, gluten or soy. These are the four things that cause the most allergies in dogs and cats. There are NO artificial flavors, colors, sugars or chemical preservatives. All ingredients are grown and produced in the US.  Order a free sample!    CLICK HERE to learn more about this food and to place an order. Your dogs will love it!

Owners of dogs and cats of the shedding variety will notice a 50% decrease in the shedding of their animals after using this pet food for three to four months.

Revitalizing Clay Mask~ Ahhh... PERFECT!

2) Water:  At the School Of Natural Healing I learned that chlorine in our water systems cause the body to become very acidic.  Chlorine is a poison so my philosophy is to let chlorine do its job, but take it out at the point of use. Filtered water will help prevent dog urine leaving burn spots on your lawn and if they should have an accident on your carpet, it won't discolor the carpet.

3) Worming Medicine: The worm medicine I think is best is (Interceptor) because one pill a month at bed time takes care of heart worm and all other internal parasites at the same time.  One pill does it all!  6-month supply is available from your veterinarian.

4) Shampoo: Pamper your precious pet with Revitalizing Shampoo. The revitalizing botanical infusion of organic rosemary and sage along with nourishing essences of coconut and palm kernel oil will naturally cleanse and beautify your pet's coat as the luscious scents of mango and kiwi mingle with energizing citrus notes to bring out natural shine. Its moisture-activated odor-fighters react immediately to absorb and neutralize tough pet odors. You can order it at www.lifeabundance.com.

5) EAR PROBLEMS 
It is very important to keep the hair out of the ear canal. When moisture gets in the ear canal and there is a lot of hair, bacteria builds up and ear infections can develop such as yeast and other kinds. The product that I have had the best success with is called Life Abundance Ear Care Formula. It is a terrific ear treatment for problem ears. Remember ear problems can sometimes be caused by corn, wheat, soy and gluten that is found in most pet foods. Getting your pet on the right food will make a big difference in ear health and skin allergies. This is a wonderful product. You can order it at www.lifeabundance.com.

6) TeethBrushing your dog's teeth each time you bathe them is a good thing.  Use a good stiff tooth brush, with just a tiny bit of Colgate tooth paste with peroxide.  It will save money in teeth cleaning bills in the future.  Use a softer brush for puppies and young dogs.
