TRAINING FAQ

Are Cotonpoos hypoallergenic?
SCORE
0 /10

Good

Cotonpoos are generally considered hypoallergenic.

SCORE
0 /10

Minimal

Cotonpoos are light shedders thanks to their curly, Poodle-influenced coat. Loose hair gets trapped in the coat rather than falling around the house, but that means regular brushing is essential to prevent mats.

SCORE
0 /10

Daily brushing

Cotonpoos need daily brushing to keep their curly or wavy coat from matting, plus a trim every 6 to 8 weeks from a professional groomer.

SCORE
0 /10

Hard

Cotonpoos are higher-maintenance than their small size suggests — their curly coat needs daily brushing and regular professional grooming, even though shedding itself is minimal.

SCORE
0 /10

Small

"Cotonpoos are small dogs whose exact size depends on which size of Poodle was used in the cross, typically standing 8 to 15 inches tall and weighing between 7 and 25 pounds."

12 months

Cotonpoos typically reach full height by around 12 months, though they may continue filling out until about 18 months old.

2-1 cup — "Adult Cotonpoos typically need about 1 / 2 to 1 cup of high-quality dry food daily, divided into two meals and adjusted for their size and activity level."

3-4 meals/day

Cotonpoo puppies should be fed 3 to 4 meals a day to support their rapid growth and high energy levels. Consult your veterinarian for a specific feeding schedule.

VET INSIGHTS

Cotonpoos are small, high-energy companions reaching full height by 12 months. As a hypoallergenic, low-shedding cross between Poodles and Coton de Tulears, they are excellent for allergy sufferers but require high-maintenance daily brushing to prevent mats. Their care includes a modest diet of 1/2 to 1 cup of food and moderate daily exercise to maintain their health.
