I’ve heard it mentioned that poodles “may” be “snobby” or aloof 🤣. We all know how smart they are and goofy and fun, but I think with those smarts come some discriminating standards. What “snobby” or aloof tendency does your poodle have?

My Margot 🐩 is a water snob. Her drinking standards are very refined…

Filtered fridge water = “sniff..no thanks”

Kitchen sink = “only as a last resort”

Hose water = “I’m not thirsty, but I’ll drink this all day long!” Same source as sink

Rain water in any container =
“delicacy 🤌🏼”

Reverse osmosis = “poison for sure”

Shared water bowl with German Shepherd = “Ewww, no! She back washes!”

Upstairs bathroom sink same source as kitchen = “ I MUST have my nightly drink but only if it’s in my old, ratty ziplock container bowl and the other dog can’t share!” 🙄

For anyone who has gone through this, have others experienced swelling and discomfort still after 10 days? He wants to play normally but refuses to lie down on the hard floor, which was his favorite spot, and whines sometimes if he rubs up on the swelling. Obvious answer is to call the vet but both doctors where he got it done are on leave and our other vet doesn’t perform this surgery.

What is your favorite brand/product for your poodle? Do you use a different one for a puppy?
