Day 4 of Vroom Grooms’ Coat Type Countdown!

Today we’re diving into the curly-coated world of the Standard Poodle—a breed known for brains, beauty, and big grooming needs. From training truths to coat care discipline, we’re setting the record straight.

Curly Coat – Breed: Standard Poodle

✨ Pros:

• Highly intelligent and eager to learn—great for advanced training, tricks, and agility.
• Their curly coat offers endless styling possibilities with proper upkeep.
• Loyal, alert, and often deeply bonded to their humans.

⚠️ Cons: (notice the length of cons?)

• Training is lifelong.
  Poodles thrive on structure, but without consistent reinforcement, they can become confused and lose previously learned behaviors.
  It’s not just about training the dog—it’s about educating the owner. Clear, consistent communication builds trust and prevents frustration on both ends of the leash.
• No dog is truly hypoallergenic.
  Allergies stem from skin cells, saliva, and urine—and all animals produce them. Poodles may shed less visibly, but their hair still follows the full life cycle:
  Anagen → Catagen → Telogen → New Anagen. Shedding happens, even if it’s subtle.
• Versatile grooming styles require discipline.
  To maintain those iconic looks, owners must commit to daily brushing at home and full grooming appointments every 4–8 weeks (depending on the level of maintenance provided at home). Without this, the coat can mat, break, or lose its shape.
• Prone to ear infections.
  Vroom Grooms LLC offers ear plucking only if it’s part of a regular at-home routine and recommended by your veterinarian.
  Ear plucking is a controversial practice, and we prioritize your dog’s comfort and health above all.

🧠 Pro Tip from Vroom Grooms LLC:
Curly coats are high-maintenance but incredibly rewarding. Grooming isn’t just cosmetic—it’s a form of communication, care, and connection.
