These dogs are just miniature Poodles, but they have extremely special qualities about them that make them unique. These dogs love being around people and make excellent companions. You are never going to want to be without your Teacup Poodle because of how special of an impression they will make on you. It is important to treat these dogs with special care because they are so small. Here are a few ways to ensure the longevity and happiness of your Teacup Poodle. **1. Keep small toys off the floor.** One of the best things about these dogs is how curious and adventurous they are. Sometimes these dogs forget how small they are in comparison to the world. So, if they see something small on the floor their first instinct may be to try and taste it. This is extremely dangerous and could lead to your dog choking because their mouths are so small. **2. Take them on short walks.** Enjoying this read? You'll love our puppies. Adorable, vet-checked pups looking for their forever homes — available now.

My dad got my Malti-poo from this store 6yrs ago when I was a teen. We bought him at 3mo old! He was a happy puppy. My family requested to play with him in the little cubicles and we were delighted. He was a little pricey, but he had his papers, proper shots/vaccines, and had an underbite that made him adorable. He’s doing well even today! Never gotten injured or sick. He’s expected to live the normal expectancy of a malti-poo. I don’t remember much about the store or any changes since then, but I remember that the lady helping us was nice! Here is Marshmallow! Posted on Google Charles B Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lots of dogs for adoption, well taken care of. Also have some birds, rabbits and a few sleepy ferrits. I stopped in for some feeder fish. Very nice staff. Posted on Google Joshua B Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Loved the exotic birds Posted on Google Melinda R Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was my 2nd time back. My daughter has been wanting another set of guinea pigs. I saw the most beautiful lionhead rabbit 🐇 about 7 weeks. LORENZO educated me on their demeanor, foods etc... I was there a good while, he showed no signs of rushing me, or pushing a sale. Answered all my questions and even educated me on ferrets as i asked lol he loves his job & wish all associates were like this everywhere! I was very pleased 😀 didn't grab the rabbit as my daughter took forever to answer me, but we're leaving for vacation and would not be cool to leave him alone . We will be back! And I will only ask for him! Thank you for the great customer service! ```
