You should have your standard poodle exams at least once per year. This goes for all house pets. It is important for your pet to be examined by a veterinarian. Because animals will age approximately seven times faster than we do, a lot can change for them in one year.
Sometimes these changes are obvious to pet owners because they are physical or behavioral in nature. In other cases, these changes may be subtle. Regardless, when a pet is seen by our veterinarians for an annual exam, we will assess your pet from nose to tail, making sure we address your questions and discuss the physical exam findings.
In some cases, blood work or other routine tests may be recommended to ensure that your pet is healthy. Vaccine boosters may also be administered during the annual exam if your pet is declared healthy enough to receive them.
Lastly, because federal law mandates an annual exam to maintain prescriptions, it is important to understand that we cannot dispense medications without examining your pet at least once per year.
I have two standard poodles that are looking for a girl friend. We live in Minnesota.
Have a great day.

Help! My Pet is Vomiting!
for animals that have been vomiting for
several days, or, if there is evidence of
ingestion of either toxins or foreign
material, we recommend an evaluation by
one of our veterinarians right away. Blood
work and x-rays are some of the initial
diagnostics that may be recommended for
your pet.
If your pet has just started to vomit
however, and it is otherwise action fine,
oftentimes we will recommend fasting
them(i.e. withholding food and water) for
12 hours. If the vomiting subsides during
that time period then we suggest offering a
bland diet to your pet. This consists of
boiled hamburger (or chicken) mixed with
white rice fed in small, frequent meals.
If the vomiting does not subside during the
12 hour period, or, if your pet begins to vomit
the bland diet, then you will need to schedule
an appointment for them.
Found this little article at my vets office and
want to share it with you.

standard poodle studs
I have had two wonderful Standards for 4 years and they are great
Family pets. I was just on the blog site and I saw a woman say that
female poodles are very calm and reserved but I disagree. It’s not only
the female standards it’s also male. My poodle Casper is very calm and
reserved as well as loving and soft. But I do agree that some males
are crazy our other Standard Oz is crazy always trying to get
attention and in everyone’s face. really to tell you the truth I think
It’s just that all standards have their own personality.
Poodles are great house dogs as well as watch dogs and even hunting
partners. Standards don't shed hair so I never have to worry about
hair all over my clothes and house. They also learn very quickly and
are extremely smart. They are great watch dogs, if anyone’s walking
on the street and there in the house they still go to the window and
bark it’s like they have super sonic hearing. But then if someone comes
in the house and they bark we just say go lay down and they listen.
A hunter would love to have a standard poodle. The modern breed
emerged in France, where it performed in circuses and worked as
a duck retriever. Which, to me is funny, because we have a duck and both
dogs are scared of him.
They may also be used in show. Standard poodles win the majority of
shows held by AKC, and that means you get money. One may use males
as studs or females to sell pure bread pups from 300-1000 dollars.
one can see that standard poodles are great for many reasons. My dogs
are currently being used as studs and are looking for girlfriends' so
please contact me if you’re interested.
We are AKC registered Standard Poodles that live in Minnesota. We are both looking for a girl friend. To learn more about us, and

Standard Poodle
Hello,
It has been a few week since I posted to this blog. We went out of town for a internet workshop last week and now just getting back to everything.
My son took care of my standard poodles when we where gone. They where happy to see my wife and I when we got home.
I can believe how fast their fur grows. I need to shave them up again. I have never took them to a groomer but am thinking about doing it. I went a got a price on a fluff and buff on them. They get 65.00 for a standard poodle. I did not think that was bad at all. That includes wash, ears cleaned, shave like I want, and toe nails trimmed. I think I am going to do it.
I am thinking about doing a new video with my two standard poodles so keep a look out for that.
We took them running last night after it cooled off. I has been really hot here in Minnesota this year and no rain. Fills like I am in Texas again.
My brothers white german shepherds should be having their puppies very soon. I say their because he has three of them about to have puppies. You can check his website out at http://www.HoffmansGermanShepherds.com
Talk to you guy later.

Standard Poodles - The People Pleaser
I did a lot of research before getting another dog after our English Cockers passed away. I was attracted to Standard Poodles because of their intelligence, temperament and ease of training. They are known to be good family dogs as well as a good watchdog. They also seem to get along very well with other animals as well, sometimes even to the point of being protective of smaller animals.
I have the honor of being owned by three Standard Poodles at the moment, Meg, Bob, and Charley. All three of them have excellent personalities, although they are three totally different personalities.
There is a misconception that females make a better pet and have better personalities, which I too thought was the case at first! Meg, our female Poodle, is very calm, reserved and dignified. She is very loving, but on her own terms. She also tends to be somewhat stubborn at times! Sometimes she acts like, “I can’t be bothered doing that!”
Our males, Bob and Charley, are real clowns! They are more exuberant and want to play all the time. They are more of a “get in your face” type of dog, always looking for attention and affection.
Our Standard Poodles have excellent temperaments and seem to get along with everyone, kids and adults. My husband and I have made it a point to start socializing them at a very early age, to get them used to people, places, sounds and riding in the car.
Whenever there is a festival or outdoor event in town, we always take them and they are always a big hit. Everyone wants to pet them, take pictures and ask us all about them. They love the attention! They’re not afraid of crowds or loud noises.
They seem to be able to read your body language and emotions and I swear they can tell when you are sad or happy and react accordingly! When I’m sad, they come and put their head on my lap and look at me with those big sad eyes! When I’m happy, they jump around smiling and wagging their pompom tails.
They can also be quite humorous at times as well. Our male Bob’s favorite spot is sleeping on the couch (not a good thing I know), but Meg and Charley were already on the couch. He looked at them as if to say, “Hey, that’s my spot,” and thought about climbing in between them for a moment. He then looked at a small 16 x 16 inch pillow that Charley had thrown off the couch and decided to try and lay down on it. Now this is a 75 pound large male poodle! He went round and round in circles on top of this pillow and finally tried to curl up in a ball on top of the pillow. It was hilarious!
The Standard Poodle temperament is that of a people pleaser. They will go out of their way to make their humans happy. They generally bond to everyone in their human family instead of one person exclusively.
As long as you have a sense of humor and don’t mind a dog that outsmarts you once in a while, a Standard Poodle may be a good choice for you!
