These are common in Poodles regardless of location — but New York environmental factors above can accelerate or worsen them.
- Ear infections (drop ears + hair in the canal)
- Skin allergies
- Addison's disease (Standards especially)
- Eye conditions (cataracts, progressive retinal atrophy)
- Bloat (Standards)
- Sebaceous adenitis (skin condition)
Predispositions don't mean your individual Poodle will develop any of these. They're statistically more common in the breed than in the general dog population.
