  • Toy Poodle’ların en dikkat çekici özelliklerinden biri kıvırcık, hipoalerjenik (alerji yapmayan) tüy yapılarıdır. Bu özellikleri onları astım ya da alerji sorunu olan insanlar için ideal bir evcil hayvan yapar. Dökülmeyen tüyleri sayesinde ev içinde temizlik konusunda da avantaj sağlarlar. Ancak bu tüyler düzenli bakım ister; haftada birkaç kez taranmalı ve 4-6 haftada bir profesyonelce tıraş ettirilmelidir. Ayrıca göz çevresi ve kulakları da düzenli olarak temizlenmelidir çünkü küçük ırk köpeklerde kulak enfeksiyonlarına daha sık rastlanabilir.
