How to Groom a Poodle at Home

Ah, the Poodle—curled perfection and clever soul. Beneath those elegant ringlets lies a heart eager to please and a coat eager to mat. But do not fret. With devotion and daily grooming, your Poodle shall remain a portrait of poise, grace, and sheer magnificence. — Lola

At-Home Grooming Routine

  • Daily Brushing: Use a slicker brush and comb to detangle from roots to ends—especially behind ears, underarms, and legs.
  • Bathing: Every 3–4 weeks with a conditioning dog shampoo. Always blow-dry and brush out afterward to prevent matting.
  • Eye & Ear Care: Clean ears weekly with a vet-approved solution and remove tear stains gently.
  • Trimming: Use rounded scissors or a pet clipper to keep face, paws, and sanitary areas neat.
  • Nail Care: Every 2–3 weeks.
