Poodle Cost Guide: Standard, Miniature & Toy Comparison

Poodle Size Comparison

Poodles come in three sizes, each with different cost profiles. All share the high grooming requirement of their curly, non-shedding coat.

Grooming: The Major Expense

All Poodle varieties need professional grooming every 4-6 weeks. Standard Poodles cost $70-$120/session, Miniatures $50-$80, and Toys $40-$60. Annual grooming runs $500-$1,500.

Health by Size

Standard Poodles are prone to bloat and hip dysplasia. Miniatures face patellar luxation. Toys may develop dental issues. All varieties are generally long-lived (12-15 years), increasing lifetime costs.
