Toy Poodles & It's
Exercise Needs
Known as excellent companions to humans, Toy Poodles
are also one of the smallest breeds of dog. It belongs
to the family of hunting dogs and hence is extremely
agile. Later, the Standard Toy Poodle was bred down
in size to create a smaller version of the breed.
Although the Standard Toy Poodles Poodles are still
used for hunting, the toy poodles gained popularity
as Show Dogs.
Time and again Toy Poodle owners
have been asking an important question: How much
of a daily exercise do Teacup Toy Poodles need?
Being extremely small in size, they demand extreme
carefulness where exercises and walks are concerned
as their size makes them very prone to injury and
accidents.
Toy breeds have fragile bone structures
and are susceptible to injuries if they are over
exercised. Toy breed puppies often suffer incurable
damage to ligaments, tissues and tendons if their
owners fail to realize their exercise needs.
An hour of daily exercise is necessary
to do away with boredom and to add to physical fitness,
in Toy Poodles. Owners often confuse daily exercise
with rigorous exercise. For Teacup Toy Poodles,
even short walks are adequate. A small-enclosed
yard with adequate space to romp around is all they
need. Toy Poodles like playing with water and should
never be allowed to play with kids for long hours
as it might cause harm to their bones.
Toy Poodle owners should monitor
their dog's behavior once they come back home from
a daily walk to look for signs of fatigue and if
they find symptoms of stress, they should treat
the same as a wake up call to modify their schedule.
Toy Poodles not only suffer from
crippling joint injuries due over exercising, they
can develop hypoglycemia as well. Hypoglycemia is
a disorder that reduces sugar levels in blood resulting
in seizures, weaknesses, which can even lead to
coma. Nutri-Cal tablets help a great deal in such
a case.
Owners are advised to do proper
homework before bringing a dog home. This will help
them understand breed-specific needs better and
also give them complete knowledge about the physical
and emotional requirements of different breeds of
dog.
