The first 72 hours

Keep the routine simple

Quiet space, regular potty breaks, and predictable meal times help reduce stress.

Schedule a vet visit

Book a wellness check with your local veterinarian as recommended in your take-home paperwork.

Start crate habits early

Short positive sessions make sleep and travel easier. Add a soft blanket and safe chew.

Feeding basics

  • Feed on a consistent schedule
  • Use measured portions and fresh water
  • Introduce new foods gradually

Grooming

Toy Poodles do best with consistent grooming. Brush regularly and plan professional grooming every 4–8 weeks. Start gentle handling early to help your puppy enjoy grooming time.

Training tips

Positive reinforcement

Reward what you want more of. Keep sessions short and fun for a small breed puppy.

Socialization

Gradual exposure to friendly people and safe environments builds confidence.
