LITTLE PAWS ANGELS — TOY POODLE HEALTH STANDARDS
Toy Poodle Health and Care UK — Keeping Your Petite Companion Thriving
From early veterinary checks in our London home to daily nutrition, dental upkeep, and coat grooming. Discover how we protect your puppy’s health before they join your family and how to care for them for a long, happy life.
Dedicated to Outstanding Wellbeing from Day One
Proper Toy Poodle health and care UK owners can count on starts long before a puppy leaves for their new home. Because Toy Poodles are small, lightweight dogs with dense, non-shedding coats, they require thoughtful daily management, balanced nutrition, and gentle handling. At Little Paws Angels, our purebred Toy Poodles are nurtured inside our Central London home alongside our family. We focus on providing robust early health care, clear UK veterinary checks, routine worming, and comprehensive transition support so your new companion thrives from day one.
Grooming Routine & Coat Care
A Toy Poodle’s coat is famous for being non-shedding and hypoallergenic, but it requires regular attention to stay soft, clean, and free from tangles or mats.
- Brushing Schedule: Brush your Toy Poodle 3 to 4 times a week using a slicker brush followed by a metal Greyhound comb to reach down to the roots.
- Professional Clipping: Arrange a visit to a professional groomer every 6 to 8 weeks for a trim, bath, and hygiene clip.
- Ear Cleaning: Because Toy Poodles have drop ears with hair growth inside the canal, check their ears weekly and clean them gently with a vet-approved cleanser to prevent moisture buildup.
Veterinary Inspections & Vaccination Protocols
Every puppy raised in our London home receives thorough medical checks from a qualified UK veterinary surgeon prior to leaving us at 8 weeks of age.
| Care Area | UK Protocol Administered | Owner Next Steps |
| Physical Exam | Full 8-week health assessment (heart, lungs, eyes, bite, joints) | Follow-up vet visit within 7 days of pickup |
| Vaccinations | First core dose (Nobivac DHP/L4) administered at 8 weeks | Second dose at 10–12 weeks with your local UK vet |
| Microchipping | Registered in compliance with UK law | Instant online transfer into your name at handover |
| Worming & Flea | Treated at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks (Panacur) | Continue monthly preventative care as advised by your vet |
Feeding & General Care Schedule
- Daily Feeding Routine: Young puppies (8–16 weeks) require 4 small meals daily of premium UK puppy kibble. Transition to 3 meals daily up to 6 months, and 2 meals daily as adults.
- Teeth & Dental Health: Small breeds can be prone to tartar buildup. Brushing their teeth 3 times a week with dog-safe toothpaste or offering natural dental chews keeps their gums healthy.
- Hypoglycaemia Prevention: Because Toy Poodles are tiny, ensure young puppies eat their meals regularly to keep their blood sugar levels stable during their first weeks in a new environment.
Complete Peace of Mind
We stand behind the health of every puppy raised in our home with clear, written terms:
- 7-Day Vet Inspection Window: Take your puppy to your own UK vet within 7 days. If your vet finds an undisclosed health condition, we provide a full refund upon return.
- 12-Month Health Guarantee: Offers protection against hereditary health conditions for total reassurance.
