A curly coat that doesn't shed still needs feeding. Arguably more.
Because a Poodle barely sheds, everything her coat produces stays on her — which is lovely for the carpet and unforgiving for the skin underneath. A dull, dry or flaky coat shows up in a Poodle faster than in most breeds, and it always starts at skin level.
Omega-3 at 8.5 g/kg with 3 g/kg of it EPA and DHA, plus borage oil, supports that skin barrier directly. Protein at 30% is high for an adult small-breed food and holds the lean, elegant muscle the breed is meant to carry. Pentasodium triphosphate at 3.5 g/kg works against tartar, and glucosamine and chondroitin support joints in a breed prone to luxating patella. For dogs from ten months.

Store in a cool, dry place, sealed. Use within six weeks of opening. Brush her two or three times a week right down to the skin — the surface can look fine while it's matted underneath. Professional grooming every six to eight weeks, and don't leave it longer to save money; a matted Poodle has to be shaved off. Give the coat two months before judging the food. Check and clean her ears; Poodles grow hair in the canal and are prone to infections.
