Of all dogs, poodles required the most intense grooming. The pro-keratin fomulation helps the poodle's coat and the groomer.

Most poodles have a dense, curly, non-shedding coat that requires regular grooming. Since poodles do not have the plush double coat of many breeds, their fur is often referred to as "hair", a term usually reserved for humans. Most poodles are solid-colored, and many registries allow only solid colors in conformation shows. "Parti" (short for parti-colored) poodles have large patches of colors different from the main body color. "Phantom" poodles have the colour pattern of a black-and-tan dog, although not necessarily black and tan. Solid-colored poodles may either hold their color (i.e., stay more or less the same throughout their lives) or fade or clear to a lighter shade. Usually the ears and the thicker guard hairs hold more of the original color than other hair. Poodles have drop ears which are never cropped.
