Every industry has its own expertise. Before raising pet dogs, we may not understand their intricacies, but after raising pet dogs, we find that there is much knowledge we need to learn and explore. Moreover, we cannot view the various issues of pet dogs with ordinary thinking; during the process of raising pet dogs, we need to observe carefully and solve problems. Poodles are still quite common in our lives. Their bones and body shapes are relatively delicate, and some measures are taken to protect them. However, some owners may not support these practices, similar to neutering cats. Today, let's learn about whether it is okay for poodles not to have their tails docked?

If we do not understand poodles, we might not know what tail docking means. It is cutting off one-third of the tail when the poodle is just born. Many owners may not understand this practice and think it is cruel. But actually, this practice is to protect them because poodles are very delicate in size, and their entire skeletal structure is fragile. If a poodle gets too excited during daily training or play and injures its tail, it can affect its life. Therefore, docking one-third of the poodle's tail can reduce the probability of such injuries.

Actually, it's not only the poodle's tail that is so fragile; their legs are also very delicate. People who raise poodles know that fractures frequently occur. But legs cannot be docked; we can only reduce their exercise in daily life and supplement vitamins and calcium. However, we cannot lack exercise entirely; we can only choose low-difficulty exercises for training. This is knowledge we need to understand before raising a poodle.

Because poodles are quite beautiful, having a tail that is too long affects their appearance. Therefore, tail docking is also for their overall aesthetic. The tail is near the poodle’s anus; if the tail is too long, it can bring bacteria to the anus area. Docking the tail can help reduce the chance of bringing bacteria there. So, we should also pay attention to cleanliness, wash the dog’s anus daily, and provide a lighter diet to ensure the poodle’s health.
