Hey guys! I recently adopted a 2 year old Red Merle (black) toy poodle named Noodles! I've had him for about 2 months now, and I am looking for a good shampoo for black haired poodles.


I've tried some shampoos but i find it hard to groom him after using said shampoos cause maybe I've never dealt with poodle hair before.

Any recommendations?

cause after i shower him i usually blow dry and comb at the same time with cold air. but its like not easy for me to brush through his hair.

also, i want to use a good shampoo without conditioner cause his skin is a little sensitive. but thank you

Actually, if you are using a human blow dryer for a dog, it should be cool air and not warm air. Cause our setting is too hot for them.

I comb Noodle's hair everyday with a poodle brush.

yeap i am using the first brush. he goes to grooming occasionally when his fur gets too long. for now its only maybe an inch poofy. i've tried black hair shampoo but it's really hard to groom him after using black hair shampoo, the groomer said so too as she used the black hair shampoo for noodles once.

ya his previous owner sucks. they never even feed him normal dog kibbles, just like treats everyday.........

so when i brought him to the groomer the first time, she said he has very little fur compared to other poodles. i think he was very malnourished and dropped alot of fur.

took me awhile to actually get him to eat kibbles. now hes fatter, healthier and is growing more fur! just a little thick and hard to comb at times.

this is him now
