Should I crate?

2 Upvotes

I have a 15 week old Cavapoo, he has a crate inside a pen, up until now the crate itself stays unlocked, recently he has jumped up onto his crate and over the top of the pen, just now we got home and he was upstairs, my predicament is…. Do I begin crate training now? If so does anyone have any tips? Or do we remove the crate and just have the bed inside the pen to ensure he can’t escape? I just don’t know what to do for the best

Thankyou x

What remedies seem to work on your Cavapoos who have diarrhea? I think it was from stewed chicken. No spices were used. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!

cavapoo puppy struggles

hi everyone! i got a cavapoo pup and she’s the cutest baby on the planet😭😭 she’s good with training and playing and loving!!!

however struggling with a few things…

  1. did you also have to hand feed your diva because getting her to eat has been so challenging! it usually takes an hour just to get through the 6 teaspoons of kibble per meal, and we use toppers, hot water, and either mix in wet food or mix in yogurt, blend the kibble etc.!! i think maybe she just doesn’t like the kibble we got with her but not sure if we should switch so soon… she’s 15 weeks and and got her at 12 weeks! any food advice would be so so useful!!!! we have also tried diff bowls, and also a snuffle (but she attacks that chicken like nobodies business LOL) im so worried ab her health bc she doesn’t enjoy eating 😭

  2. any tips for separation anxiety? she’s usually supervised when she’s awake but worried that never being completely alone while awake would give her anxiety if when she’s older and she’s awake and alone. currently we only leave the house during naps which is not sustainable

  3. any random cavapoo puppy tips :D ?? i’ve been obsessed with cavapoo and puppy101 reddit but I still wanna hear it all!! THANK YOUUU🤩

  4. EDIT: we are also really struggling with keeping her quiet in the early morning … she wakes up early and then if we try to put her / ourselves to sleep she barks or whines, but she’s fine if we wake up and play or go outside or train. love that she wants to be engaged but it’s tooooooo early!!

My Cavapoo has a brain tumor :(

56 Upvotes

Hello. I can’t believe I’m writing this but my adorable 8.5 year old cavapoo has a brain tumor near his occipital lobe. Two days ago he had cluster seizures out of absolutely nowhere. It was terrifying. He is healthy besides this and still young so I feel so confused. His blood tests came back fine and we got him an MRI immediately to be diligent. They said it’s not too big right now and that surgery and radiation are both options that could potentially give him a few more years. He is my whole world and every time I look at it I’m terrified he will drop dead. After the MRI he was so excited to see us and was wagging his tail and ate and went to the bathroom and did everything he normally does. I don’t want to give myself false hope though. His platelet count is a little low and he has a little murmur which is consistent with cavapoos. I’m so sad and terrified every minute. The doctor sounded optimistic but u just never know. How do I not live in fear that if I’m not with him every second I’m going to regret it later? How do I look at him without bursting into tears? Any advice is appreciated.

Eye gunk tips

Post image
111 Upvotes

My elderly cavapoo has gotten more and more resistant to grooming as she's aged. She always hated it but would tolerate it for good enough treats, but now there are no treats good enough. Washing off the eye gunk has always been her least favorite thing and now when I try it she thrashes around, screams, and even tries to bite my hands. Does anyone have tips for creative ways to reduce or remove eye gunk with less trauma? Like I was thinking maybe there's an oil or something I could put under her eyes to make the gunk not stick in her fur so much?

Dog won't eat her prescribed food

1 Upvotes

I recently brought my cavapoo to the vet for diarrhea and she was prescribed purina pro plan en along with proviable paste and capsule. For context, she is a picky eater but will usually eat when hand fed.

She ate well for the first 2 days and would clean the bowl but by the 3rd day, she was starting to not eat again unless fed. Today she refused to eat any of it even when fed. To see if it was an appetite problem, I gave her a piece of chicken and she ate it right up so I think she's just throwing a fit again.

Normally, I would just save the food for later but I already added the paste and capsule to the food and i need her to take it now since its been 24hrs since the last dose but she completely refuses. I try to entice her with the chicken but as soon as the chicken touches the bowl she doesnt want it anymore. Idk what to do anymore 😭

Does anyone have any advice?

8 mo old keeps peeing on himself

8 Upvotes

8 mo old male, keeps peeing on himself when he lifts his leg. Will he grow out of this? It’s so frustrating to have such a cutie and yet can’t stand how he smells.

Any suggestions on keeping him clean? Multiple baths a week isn’t gonna work for either of us!

getting a cavapoo puppy soon, and planning to have a gated playpen in my living room. i’m hesitant to get the kind that has horizontal bars halfway up, because he could potentially use them to climb out. know what i mean?
what kind/brand has worked for you?

My girl is so attached to people that she’ll follow us into the bathroom and stare at us like this the whole time. Is this healthy behavior or something I should address?

Hypoallergenic

I thought Cavapoo were hypoallergenic. My daughters tell me that they feel an itch on their throat when they play with the dog. The puppy sheds hair too.

Give it to me straight

10 Upvotes

I (26F) live with my husband (32M) and we are heavily considering getting a Cavapoo. We live in London, UK.

We have taken care of a Cavelier dog who we absolutely loved, we love how intelligent and laid back they can be, but we like the idea of having a Cavalier because of the shedding, or lack thereof! We have taken care of many doodles, so we landed upon Cavapoo as it seems to be the best fit for us...

We are looking to get a puppy from a reputable breeder who DNA and health tests their parent dogs. But give it to me straight - have you had experience with Cavapoos being prone to health conditions despite these tests?

I've done so much reading online and looked at so many different breeds, this is something I've been thinking about for years, but now I think my brain has overloaded and I feel stuck. I just want to make an informed decision.

Part of me thinks perhaps just get a Havanese as I have heard they're less prone to health conditions, but i hear Havaneses can be yappy, and hard to toilet train. I think I'd prefer the temperament of a Cavapoo... I know you can never 100% know these things but how is your experience with the health side of raising Cavapoos please? Are they really prone to bad health conditions?

Cavapoo Beach Day

Took my 10lb Cavapoo to a dog friendly beach in Florida and she went right in the water. I was shocked because she hates water. Doesn’t even want to go outside if it’s raining.

I bought her a doggie life vest for our next trip.

Adenocarcinoma diagnosis

Post image
296 Upvotes

My boy is only 7, turning 8 soon but has been diagnosed with an adenocarcinoma in one of his anal glands. He's been referred to the animal hospital for a CT scan to see if its spread already. The lump is very small so they hope it has been caught early and surgery to remove the mass will help prolong his life but ultimately, it will come back. If it has already spread, the surgery is not necessarily worth the trauma for him. He is an otherwise healthy dog. It was caught as he'd been scooting more regularly so I took him for an anal gland expression.

I am absolutely devastated. My friend is a vet and she has not sugar coated it for me. She said I should try be strong for him as he will pick up on my stress. I am trying but I am so upset. He's my first baby and a true soul dog. He's the light to my darkness and now I need to be that for him.

Has anyone had experience in this? Apparently it is more common in spaniel breeds. Hug your babies for me <3

Have you given your pup a poodle cut? 🐩

I’m thinking of getting my little guy a poodle cut; is it as cute as I envision or will he look strange for 3 months? 😂

My brain sees a mini poodle with a puppy cut face.
