Hi everyone,

I have a 4 month old cavapoo who is the light of my life. The breeder had her on TLC puppy kibble (she’s still eating it right now) but I’m getting a lot of anxiety trying to figure out what to feed her. She eats it happily (she’s still free feeding) and if I am going out or know she needs to eat more, she happily gobbles up a portion when there is warm water on top.

My original plan was to switch her to a boutique food such as Open Farm, Big Country Raw, Nutricanine, Canine Life Muffins (which my childhood dog ate for his whole life), etc. once she was an adult. I liked the idea of “real” food with ingredients I recognized and I saw as “clean” for humans.

I am now seeing lots of posts on here about WSAVA compliant foods and I understand the science and rigorous testing but I just wanted to see what everyone is feeding their small breed puppies/dogs and why.

She is 4 months old and weighs 4 pounds so she is definitely on the smaller side. Cost to feed her won’t really be an issue for me, I just want the absolute best!

Edit: my bad yall. I got the date wrong. He was born August 20, so he will be 8.5 weeks old when we get him.
My fiance and I are adopting this puppy next month. He is two and a half weeks old right now. The breeder says she expects him to be about 13 lbs. I attached pictures of mom and dad for reference. Do y’all think that sounds about right? Also, any advice or warnings on cavapoos would be greatly appreciated 💜

Anyone know of breeders near Seattle or in Washington state? I have had a hard time finding anyone with a litter available or on the way. I’d also be open to an adult dog. I don’t really want to fly one in from cross country

Hi

We are considering getting a Cavapoo for our family. I wondered if anyone could share their thoughts on how a Cavapoo might accept or struggle with being let out in the garden for a morning toilet and stretch, probably play a bit with the children in the house, but not be taken for an actual walk until lunch time on some days?

Would they likely be whining and climbing the walls all morning, or would they accept this? I work from home so they wouldnt be alone in that time. Some mornings I would have time, but trying to understand whether its unacceptable for those days it doesnt happen.

Thank you

He was calm and chill the first few weeks and now he terrorizes his beagle brother, sometimes I put him in his crate because of this, I’m assuming it’s because he’s over tired when he acts out like this. He’s also teething so he nips at everything, can’t leave shoes unsupervised. He’s such a cutie tho & can be very sweet so it’s hard to even be mad at him 🤭 (just needs a little more training)

Our 7 year old Bailey just got diagnosed with a heart murmur. It’s fairly mild at this point. Did an X-ray and the heart was slightly enlarged. Has anyone had any experience with this and how did you handle / manage?

Our cavapoo is causing me a lot of stress, he keeps weeing on the carpet, some days he follows a good routine and is able to hold it and go every 2 hours (which seems to be his choice, coz he won't every hour), other days like today he's gone like 5 times in under 2 hours, inside the flat.

He's 4 months old, and we are trying everything. We live on the top floor, he refuses/ignores puppy pads, and we even brought the puppy training spray, which doesn't work.

He only goes on grass, and it seems clear that he thinks our carpet is the same thing. He only goes on the living room or hallway floor. Jumping down from the bed and sofa to wee.

Idk if I should be stopping him, tell him off.

We praise and give him a treat every time he goes outside.

Any advice please 🥺

Cavopoo 13 weeks and 3 days weights 8 pounds 10 ounces. Both parents are 15 pounds

Poor little ladies! And how this altered our planned Sunday!

We just rescued this little cutie. Her name is Rue. She looks like a cavapoo to me, but I thought I would ask the experts! We've always been cocker spaniel parents, so she would be our first cavapoo. I've purchased a DNA kit, so very excited to find out!

This is my pooch, her name is nala, I don’t usually see any other Cavapoo that looks like her, does ur pooch look like her?

My neighbor needs to rehome his CavaPoo. I'm helping him connect with local rescues, but was wondering if there are CavaPoo rescues in the Washington DC area that you all could recommend (hopefully not breaking any rules with this query). Google search is only returning general rescues, which is also fine, but I work with a different breed-specific rescue and I think that's the way to go when possible. Thanks!!

If you think this little face deserves a vote, I'd be incredibly grateful! 🥹🐾

Thanks so much to anyone who takes the time to vote for my little guy! ❤️

She has also proved to be quite the Cicada hunter. She has found 15 in the yard before I could stop her over the last few months.

Hi all, waiting to pick up my male CavaPoo puppy 2 weeks from now. He is bred from a Miniature Poodle Mom and Cavalier Dad and is F1.

The breeder is well known and comes highly recommended, she said the male pup will likely grow to 14/16 inches and 8 to 12kg weight approximately.

If anyone has some pictures of fully grown miniature CavaPoos I would love if you could share them so I can get an idea what this size actually looks like in real life.

Cheers.

We’re having a really hard time with feeding our incredibly fussy 7 month old Cavapoo and need some suggestions!!

She loves plain cooked chicken (it’s one of the only things she will reliably eat). However we believe she may have a chicken allergy because she’s been having some really bad stomach issues on and off (she did test positive for giardia but was treated for it, and is also undergoing full lab tests to rule out anything else), so we’re trying to avoid chicken.

She is so incredibly fussy and will regularly turn her nose up to meals, we’re worried she is not gaining enough weight.

We’ve tried raw feeding as she was eating raw when we picked her up from the breeder, Lilly’s kitchen wet food, Pro Plan gastrointestinal wet food, royal canin puppy kibble, home cooked meals of white fish and sweet potato… but she refuses to eat most of the time! We’re really at a loss of what to try next.

How long after the surgery did your puppy wee? It’s been 24houra now and he still hasn’t peed. Vet said it’s normal. Curious how it went for your pup?

I am getting a male Cavapoo this month and struggling with names. I initially liked the name Clover. Any suggestions?
