What is wrong with the way this scientific name is written canis familiaries?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The scientific name "canis familiaries" is incorrect because it should be written as "Canis lupus familiaris." In this case, "Canis" refers to the genus, "lupus" to the species, and "familiaris" as the subspecies of the domestic dog.

What do you feed poodles?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I feed my poodle IAMS dog food.You can also feed them:steak,pork chops, lettuce, tomatoes, apples, oranges, carrots, non-chocolate cereal,(sugar-free), chips, milk,fruit,(no bananas),and cheese.Poodles love raw eggs to.DO NOT GIVE THEM ANYTHING GREASY!!!!!

Another answer:

Poodles should not eat table food except they can eat: green beans, lettuce, apples, carrots, and not much else. Some foods are too acid for them like: tomatoes, oranges, lemons. Mostly feed your pet his dog food because most foods like: cheese, raw eggs, chocolate, chips, candy, are not good for our pets. If you want to feed your dog give him small chips of ice they really love it.

Why are poodles groomed like that?

User Avatar

Asked by Hugh Luettgen

That very specific grooming style (the shaved parts, the floofy tufts) actually has some thought behind it. Beyond evoking the French aristocracy, that is.

Poodles weren’t bred to lounge and look down on us plebs—they were bred to be retrievers. That pattern of hair is intended to speed up their swimming while keeping their vital organs and joints warm.

A poodle’s coat is also pretty difficult to maintain. Since it’s so curly and thick, it gets matted easily, requiring frequent brushing. Shaving or closely clipping parts of the dog can help make that more manageable.

How do you potty train a tea cup poodle?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Very small pups can be difficult to housetrain, for three main reasons. First, they physically have much smaller bladders, so will need to eliminate more frequently than larger breed pups. Second, small breeds like chihuahuas and Yorkshire terriers take longer for their muscles to develop, so they can't hold it until they're at least 20 weeks old. Thirdly, very small pups can be sensitive to the cold, which can make their bladder muscles freeze up and stop them going outside (that's why they look like they need to go, then when you take them outside, they don't go, then five minutes later they're asking to go again!).

My advice is to train them to go in a particular spot indoors. Many people use pee pads, but I'd recommend a special indoor dog potty system - my chihuahua uses an Ugodog, but I'm sure other ones are good too. This is a good idea because very small dogs won't ever be able to hold it for more than three or four hours maximum. If you ever need to leave them that long, especially at short notice, it's good to know they've got somewhere to go.

Don't ever get angry with them for making a mistake, and keep them under constant supervision. Take them to their spot when they wake up, after a drink, after a meal, after playtime and whenever they start to sniff the floor and look distracted. Give lots of praise and treats for getting it right!

What brand of food is the best for poodles?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are many good brands of dog food you can buy, Eukenuba and Iams to name a few, but I would recommend a dry kibble because poodles are prone to have more tooth decay and gum disease than other breeds of dogs. A semi-moist brand of food is fine too, just brush their teeth more often. Ask your vet for suggestions.

Does a toy poodle stay little forever?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes they do, it is because of their genetics. The toy poodle was bred from miniatures, which in turn were bred from standards. Each generation, the smallest of the offspring were bred together, causing the average size of the offspring to become smaller, as the genes for above average offspring were not being passed on. Eventually when the desired size was reached, the breeding was not as tightly controlled as before, so even within the breed their is a range of sizes. However a toy poodle will never grow to the size of a miniature poodle for example, as the genes for this size have been bred out.
