The first 72 hours with a new toy poodle puppy set the tone for the first two years of your life together. Before your puppy arrives, have the crate set up in a quiet corner of your bedroom — sleeping near you the first few nights dramatically reduces separation anxiety. A crate sized just large enough to stand and turn around is ideal; too large and puppies tend to soil one corner. Feeding should happen three to four times daily using a high-quality small-breed puppy formula, measured precisely by weight to avoid hypoglycemia.
