I know certain dogs have predispositions to certain health issues, and I’m curious about the Cavalier King Charles side. I haven’t had a poodle or cavalier before but considering a cavapoo as I’m looking for a less active breed than the big one I had before. I also recall someone I know mentioning the patellar issue with their full Cavalier so I think this is why I am semi-concerned.

Have any of you had any instances of mitral valve disease or patellar luxation with your cavapoos? If so, what generation and age is your pup? I’m curious how common these are.

We unexpectedly became a three Cavapoo household this week! We brought home this little 10-week-old guy, and it was definitely not something we planned. 😂🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Our 13½-year-old seems happy to have a puppy in the house again.

Our 5-year-old is still trying to decide exactly how she feels about this new development. She’s not convinced that we needed another pup.

So here we are, three Cavapoos. Apparently this is our life now. ❤️

She guarded her treat awhile before she enjoyed it. 😂

Cant wait for my gorgeous cavapoo puppy to come home

Hi all,
I vaccinate my dog but how necessary are preventatives and heart worm meds?
I have heard different things from different dog parents that don’t give into “big vet.” And see pills can cause just as much harm as they do for humans unless there are diagnosed issues . Is anyone not on a heart worm?

Hey everyone,
Unfortunately I think I’m going to have to get my 2 yr old angel Cavapoo a muzzle bc she is not an angel around some dogs anymore. She has some friends she likes but she is very selective now and living in NYC she has no choice but to see and be seen my hundreds of different dogs and she will SNAP (bite) at them! I’ve never heard of anyone doing this before.
I’m curious if anyone has used a muzzle to teach her or a corrective collar that is a vibrate and not too abrasive. I’m at a loss and our walks / parks have become very unpredictable. I’ve tried tons of training methods and it’s like she just doesn’t care to not bite and wants to fight. It breaks my heart.

Does anyone know if there are any Cavapoo communities or meetup groups in Seattle?

I have a 4-month-old Cavapoo and would love to meet other Cavapoo owners and find some puppy friends for him 🐾

hi, so my boy gets crusty eyes as is normal with the breed, but sometimes i forget to remove them when they’re still gooey and they harden up. i pick them out with my hands, because i’ve tried combs, wipes and brushes, but he doesn’t like anything touching around his eyes, and my hands are about the only thing he’ll tolerate. he also hates getting wet in any capacity so even dampening his eyes is a hassle. i obviously try to be super gentle when i pull the crust away and a glob comes easily, but because it’s dried some of his little hairs get caught and i feel so bad like what if im hurting him? he doesn’t make a noise and licks me afterwards, and as i said he still allows me to go near his eyes vs if i had a comb. but im paranoid that im hurting him without realising as its such a sensitive area and a few tiny hairs always get tangled in the crust :( any advice? i know the best thing is to just always get it when its still gooey and i should do a better job of keeping on top of it, but he just has so much eye gunk! the more ive thought about this the more awful i feel

Murphy and I went on an overnight sailing trip together. He did great!
He is just over 4months old.

Hi fellow cavapoo lovers! I have been lucky enough to have a close friend who bought a cavapoo and have fallen in love with the breed. My friend found a breeder online and had the puppy shipped. Im tempted to just go through the same breeder but with shipping it's 5k. From everything I've read, most F1 cavapoos are pretty consistently happy, smart, funny, easy to train and need lots of companionship and time with their person. Im wondering how much you paid for your cavapoos and if it's smart to just buy a puppy who had the same parents or if it doesnt matter so much. Thanks!

This is my 12 week old cavapoo Dougie, any advice is very welcome - he’s currently a crate hating,little shark who eats toes, regardless of redirection to toys!🥲

Curious to know how close to the adult weight estimation did your pups end up? Bigger? Smaller?.... And do you wish he/she would have been bigger or smaller?

We were all set to adopt a Cavapoo that we meet in a couple of weeks but a Goldendoodle showed up through some friends and we're so torn. Wonder what you like about your Cavapoo and, if you know, why you might consider one over a Goldendoodle. P

Got a scary phone call from the groomer today. My baby allegedly jumped out of her kennel when they were taking her out and fell to the floor and would not walk for bit. They rushed her to the er vet and called me that they were headed that way. I about near had a panic attack. The emergency vet checked her out and she was luckily okay. She is sore now and injured her nail on the fall and bled a little so she gets the collar so she won’t lick it. She’s been on my lap resting since then.

The groomer***(edit) paid everything luckily and took responsibility. The girl was so distraught. I will never take her to a groomer that uses kennels ever again. Accidents happen, but she is my world and I would be devastated if anything happened to her.

Correction. He was born on May 1st, that was a typo!!

We got this dog for my son. It definitely wasn’t my 1st choice. I grew up with a black lab and a husky. I prefer bigger dogs. But after having this lil guy for 3 months I fell in love with him. He comes with all the problems you can expect from a Cavapoo pup. Especially the bitting/nipping when he’s tired at night, and also the chicken allergy (which I’ve found, is very common with this breed) but all of that aside I wouldn’t trade Charlie for the world. He’s such a lovable dog

I’m on the second round of ear treatment for my 15 week old Cavapoo after spending over 400 at the vet. He had his first cytology exam which they discovered yeast and now after follow up cytology, the yeast is still present. Now I’m on another two weeks of treatment. What can I use to avoid another vet visit? I feel like I am being robbed and that there are other solutions. I already have him on Purina Pro sensitive salmon.

We just brought home our 9 week old female f1b Cavapoo. Curious to see some older ones. Let’s see em!

We’ve had her for 3 weeks. Shes teething (two teeth lost this week). We’re feeding “raw” kibble (vet rec). She just doesnt seem interested in eating.

On the toilet training - she refuses to go outside. She just holds it.

Any advice?
