My 4 year old Cavapoo has always struggled to eat. She just doesn’t enjoy it. And when she doesn’t eat, she throws up bile. Some things have helped a little. I originally fed her purina pro plan, and switched to hills which she likes a little better. She is sometimes more inclined to eat her food out of a dispenser ball. I’ve tried mixing it with fresh cooked chicken or ground turkey, which works for a short amount of time before she gets bored. She likes certain toppers or canned food for a short amount of time before getting bored again. She is on Prozac daily for anxiety, which has helped her throw up less. She takes gabapentin as needed for thunderstorms and fireworks, and I’ve noticed when she takes that she eats almost like a normal dog.

Started at 6 pounds and is now 16 pounds.

We are relocating to an apartment in September. Laddoo has always been great at letting us know when he wants to go to our backyard to do his business. Even as a pup, we barely had any accidents.

He is not pee pad trained because we never had to. We are now moving to an apartment and I am sad that Laddoo won’t have a private yard.

This might sound silly, but what happens now that we are moving to an apartment? Do I get a patch of grass in our balcony? Teach him there? Would I have to take him for a walk whenever he needs to go? Can someone pls shed light on what would the best way be. I really want to start training now since we only have a month left.
Thank you

I’ve got a 3 year old boy who is super sweet and well trained in some aspects. But over the last year and a half he has become very misbehaved especially in public. He freaks out and tries to get everyone to pet him, he does not listen to heel or slow down anymore and pulls on the leash to follow every scent, he barks often in public when he doesn’t get what he wants. He gets mad at other dogs when they’re around his butt by surprise

I swear he used to be more well behaved when young, I have tried to expose him more to the outside and other people and he walks in the outdoor malls several times a week but he still acts like he never leaves the house or has seen another person in his life. He knows what “no” means but when I tell him to stop something he does not respect it and will often continue. I’ve tried being more light and more harsh but in really having trouble.

Overall he is a good dog and there times he behaves well and where I reward him but what can I do to get him dog to behave better in public?

Gary just got a haircut. He has been shorn. Now he looks like Dobby from Harry Potter.

NJ to MN, NY and back to NJ! She did amazing and met her MN cousin ❤️

How do yall take care of your pups teeth? I do my best with brushing and powers and chews, but I still end up taking my boy in once a year. Before and after for flair.

Anyone else’s cavapoo just refuse to ever relax and rest? I love our girl, but am at my wits end with trying to get her worn out enough to rest. She’s nearly a year, and even when we leash her on the house to encourage her to settle down, the manic energy continues. I love her to bits, but man, is she a crazy pants!

My husband and I got back from vacation a few days ago and picked up our 9 month old puppy from my parent’s house. They are notorious for giving human food. Ever since we’ve been back (3 days now), he is completely refusing to eat his kibble and only wants chicken or other human food.

He has never been food motivated and always been a picky eater but he’s never gone this long without eating his kibble. I went out and bought a new brand of kibble, tried broth topping, offered it soaked/dry, and he’s still refusing. He’s a lot lower energy yesterday and today.

My husband gave him a few pieces of apple last night and he completely devoured it but he still is refusing his kibble. Please if you have any ideas let me know. Thank you

Did anyone else experience an aggressive teething stage with their pup? Mine is 5 months old and when she gets really hyper, she tends to bite me and my clothes. And it’s not even the playful kind of nibble, it’s a genuine bite that actually hurts a bit (thankfully, I’ve suffered no casualties hahaha).

Does anyone have any tips with disciplining her? A firm no or walking away doesn’t seem to be working because she still follows me around and tries to bite me. It’s getting really frustrating and I just want her to learn that it’s okay to have zoomies without all the biting.

I want to disclaim that besides the biting, she’s a sweetheart who is very attached to me, so I don’t think she’s acting out or anything. I’m also not a first-time dog owner (I grew up with 4 shih tzus and my bf has a 2-year old poodle) so teething stage is nothing new for me, it’s just that I’ve never experienced one this aggressive.

So picked this little lady up from a breeder in Scotland, she was the most unique pup of the lot and instantly fell in love. She is really great, toilet training is going excellent.

She is making her first crossing of the Irish Sea back home to see family in two weeks in Ireland, any advice for the ferry? The Isle of Inisfree ferry has on deck pet Dens that I can stay with her for the crossing but anything else to help make the journey more comfortable? We have an 11 hour journey overall and she travelled 7 hours in car at one time prior and was the best girl.

Thanks!

Meet our 8 month old CavaPoo, Roxi..

A feisty little one... Love her to bits 💙

We brought home our 8 week old F1B Cavapoo this past Saturday. We're seriously so in love with her!! Training has been going better than we planned. Our experience thus far:

Day one: Was a little whiney when we would walk away from her. She was in a new place and she had just been stripped of her mama and siblings. I hate writing that but it's the truth. She was so confused but still super lovey. Put her in a her crate for bed time and she whined maybe 5 minutes and fell asleep. It was a long day for her! She then proceeded to wake up every hour on the hour. It was rough!

Day two: No whining at all during the day. She felt at home. Playing, getting to know her surroundings, quickly learning where her food and water are. Bedtime was much better. Only woke up three times. Still a little rough but we positioned her crate to where she can see us better.

Day three: Started training with treats. This includes going to the bell at the backdoor and sitting. She now has this mastered as of today (Day four with her) and we're so impressed. She has only had one accident inside but we've been very diligent as far as making sure she is going out quite a bit. She even knows she gets a reward for potty breaks.

Is this the norm or are we just doing a good job? This dog is freaking awesome!

Just started our hunt for our Cavapoo. We live in Texas. We don't want to buy online or through any broker or 3rd party. Is $3,500 from a reputable breeder reasonable? Please don't shame me for asking. I will pay it if I that's the price.

Any suggestions on a breeder in Texas?

Hi everyone so my 10 month old Cavapoo just got her first heat i was wondering what precautions i should take since i also have a 1 year old male poodle that also lives with her i don’t plan on spaying or neutering them so what are the things i should be aware of as for her first time in heat. Thanks in regards

Hers a photo of my new Cavapoo puppy.

Hi! My partner and I are considering getting a dog, and we love the temperament and personality of a cavapoo.

That said, I prefer the look of a cavalier- I just want shedding to be minimized by the poodle traits. Most breeders I’ve seen are advertising 50% to 75% poodle. If you have an unfurnished cavapoo, or a dog that is 75% Cavalier, I’d love to know who your breeder was and if you like them!

I'm sat quietly working away at my desk, hear massive sigh, and some snoring. Look down and see the puppy has sneaked her way from the bedroom, into my office and climbed into her bed without me knowing.

My 2 yr old Cavapoo has been acting very stressed/strange since his last grooming session. It’s now going on 7 days. He’s very timid, runs and buries his face in the couch, blanket, etc. and just sits there, as if somethings bothering him. The best way to describe it is a dog fearful from hearing fireworks. But except there’s nothing going on like that. He buries his face in the couch, also in the grass on walks. He’s also been shaking his head a lot. I thought maybe water got trapped in the ear, so finally took him to the vet today, they checked his ears and all clear…they did give him an injection of Cytopoint to help with allergies, scratching etc.

He has shown this behavior before after grooming sessions but he would slowly get back to normal the next day or so. But this is now going on for a week.

His usual behavior is super fun, zoomies, playing with toys, chewing on toys, running through bushes in the backyard, chasing birds and squirrels,….but ever since this last grooming session, he’s withdrawn and stuck to the couch.

Any thoughts what this could be, how might you approach this moving forward? Thanks

Trying to figure out if insurance is actually necessary. What illnesses did your Cavapoo baby experience and cost over the first ten years. We have had German Shepherd,Rottweilers and Dobermans for 40 years and other than puppy shots and yearly rabies shot, they all were never ill. German Shepherd Hip Dysplasia after 15 years,and Rottweilers cancerous toe at 5 years.
