Breeders should know that the poodles are dogs that do not have a predisposition to gluttony, they are active and moving, but at the same time pets are quite arrogant in food. You should not go around them, for example, if the dog refuses to cottage cheese, you do not need to rush to cook porridge, just remove the plate, wait for the next meal and offer the same meal.

No need to feed an adult dog from a common table - this diet can be too heavy for the pet organism, as well as not enough to ensure the full receipt of useful micro and macroelements. This can most negatively affect the growth, as well as the development and physical condition of the poodle.
No need to forget that there are "loose" breeds of dogs that require a large body weight, they include Senbernar, Newfoundland and some other species. Poodle to such a category does not include, these are elegant animals along with their dogs and pinemers. In accordance with the existing standards, they should not have a sagging abdomen and too much weight.

As a delicacy, an animal can give any nuts: large dogs offer 2 things per day, small - 1, and dwarf - only half. Very helpful for kuraga animals, prunes, raisins and some other dried fruits.
Due to employment, some breeders prefer to use the store feed for their dog, in this case it is imperative to choose a proven manufacturer.
