So, recently, I've heard many things about poodles and other small breeds, and guess what, they're not true. I have a poodle my self, so I know how to take best care for them.
First of all, many people believe that poodles tend to have heart problems as they get older, and of course, you can prevent it. Poodles and other small breeds need their teeth cleaned once or twice a year, because all tartar begins accumulating, and making the space for little veins smaller.. if that's not treated, the dog could get heart problems when older, because the blood isn't flowing to the heart as it should. So make sure you take your buddy to a vet to have their teeth cleaned once a year.
Also, many dog owners believe that small breeds tend to lack their sense of sight as they grow older, and you can also avoid that, making sure you cut the hair around you dog's eyes. Hair in eyes isn't good for dogs, cats, or another mammal.. including humans. If you see that your dog has some hair in their eyes, try to take it off. Take your dog to the groomer once a month, so they can have the hair around their eyes cut. In this way, you are taking good care of your pet and its eye sight.
Believe it or not, poodles are the most expensive dog to take care of. They're not the cheapest, as some people think. That's why some persons don't treat them as they should, which leads to more chances of illness. Everything can be treated, so if your dog has a problem, don't worry, if you take good care of him, give him its medicines, and lots of love, they can recover. If a person can recover from a terrible illness, why do you think an animal can not? After all, they are also God's creation!
Take care of your pet, he or she is also part of the family. For you who pray for the health and happiness of your loved ones, why not praying for your pets too? So always remember, small breeds, large breeds, medium breeds, all are thought to have tendency to certain illness.. but it is not true, everything depends on what type of care you give your pet.
