Nutrition
A Poodle's diet should be high-quality and tailored to its specific size variety. For Standard Poodles, look for large-breed formulas to support joint health, providing about 250-400g of dry food split into two meals to prevent bloat. For Toys and Miniatures, a high-protein kibble designed for small mouths is crucial to fuel their fast metabolism and prevent hypoglycemia in puppies. Avoid excessive treats, as Poodles can be prone to weight gain, which stresses their lean frames. Always ensure fresh water is available after their active play sessions.
