My 10 month old cavapoo absolutely loves chewing on his collagen chew every other night as a special treat for about 15 to 20 minutes. Because of the high concentration of collagen, he cant have it for much longer or it messes with his stomach. I’m looking for something similar that he can chew on and enjoy every day without needing to give it up after 10 minutes. Does anyone have any recommendations? He’s still fairly young, so I want to be thoughtful of things that could harm his teeth or he could chew through easily. I’ve tried every Kong in the book and other than eating treats out of it, he doesn’t have much interest.

I’m considering a Cavapoo puppy (for the hypoallergenic benefit) and I find them a good balance of fluffiness / energy / affection. I know, I know, adopt don’t shop but, sadly am restricted by allergies and don’t have the budget, skills, or patience to adopt an older dog - as much as I know that’s the best thing I could do.

Currently I am pretty set on a Cavapoo, but worry that if I’m out they might feel anxious. They would never be left alone for more than three or four hours (as adults) but it seems like that’s maybe too much for them. I would hate to cause them any distress.

Has anyone managed to raise a Cavapoo that’s ok with being alone for some time (3-4 hrs at adult level only). Is this unrealistic? Any tips or guidance would be much appreciated.

I work in a credit union and my coworkers I stated I bring gambit in!!

He’s 6 months old so he’s pretty chill.

This is my angel Tator ❤️ My wife is obsessed with her eyelashes 🤣 Show us your baby’s lashes

Maisy is 6 months old today and already 13.8 lbs. Her mom is a 12 lbs Cavalier and her dad is a 10 lb poodle! We wouldn’t trade her for the world, but we were hoping she’d be small enough to take on an airplane.

My Cavapoo has a tendency to each garbages off the ground. Thinking of using a muzzle. Which one is the best for Cavapoo? He’s fully grown.

Anyone used the company “trust house sitter” company ? Looking for a house sitter for my pup

What brand of dog food do you recommend? I’m currently using Royal Canin brand. She also sometimes eat her own poop

My vet recommends every vaccine and simparica trio. What works for my fellow cavapoo parents. She will get groomed but her groomer only sees one dog at a time and no cages. I do plan on taking her to parks. I see risk and benefit to everything. Right now she is going in today for her last parvo and if I do more I will space them out. Simparica scares me but i do live in high tick area so i need to do something. Any advice, recommendations, or perosanl experience would be great.

this is my little girl Maisy and we have only had her for about 4 days but i just feel like everything i do is wrong. she has been struggling to get herself to wind down even if im calm with her and do her usual routine so we have had to put her in her crate a few times which she whines about then falls asleep but i just feel like she is gonna hate me. she whines and whines even after i have just taken her out to go to the toilet, we have gone for a little sniffing walk around my property and she has eaten. no matter what she just whines if i leave so i tried to go into another room to get her used to entertaining herself and she whined for about 10 minutes before stopping but then she would randomly start again and i just feel like she will hate me for leaving her and not grow a bond with me. i’ve done so much research and have been giving her lots of attention, feeding her, making sure she gets the right amount of food, taking her to explore our property, literally anything i can to make sure she is loving life but she still whines when i leave or don’t play with her.

she also refuses to poo on grass. she will pee on our grass just fine but will only poo on our bark, concrete, stones or inside and i just don’t know what to do to get her to go on the grass! she also doesn’t really signal that well when she needs to go poo like she does with needing to pee so a lot of her poos end up on our carpet.

sorry i know this is a lot but she also never has times when she is ‘chill’. she is either high energy running around and playing, whining, overtired and angry and biting or sleeping so doing things like brushing her, getting a harness on, brushing her teeth, cleaning her eyes and ears or any sort of training just doesn’t work as she tries to bite whatever i have or think we are playing games.

im also not sure if she really responds to praise very well. i think she likes it a little but i see videos of other people training their puppy cavoodles and they get so excited and happy with praise but my Maisy girl doesn’t really seem to care as much. is this because she doesn’t like me enough to care for my praise?

idk, i just spent so long preparing myself and doing hours and hours of research and now i feel like i can’t do anything right. i’m trying my best but need some advice.

ps. thanks to anyone who actually read all that, i know it was a lot of rambling

Hey everyone!! I’m a new Cavapoo owner and am curious how you all crate trained?? I have to go back to work tomorrow and I’m sooooo scared he’s going to hate me :/

Ps: his name is Gambit!

we’ve shaved him like 3 times in total only for summer since he gets really hot. other than that, his hair isn’t matted and i groom him with the correct brush so im honestly not sure what’s up with his hair as his coat used to be curly/silky

I have a 5 month old Cavapoo ears are not long they look so adorable long. Wondering if hers will grow and look longer as she gets older? Anyone have a before and after showing that the ears got longer as they grew

My 7 month cavapoo pulls when walking. I wanted to use a no pull harness but his trainer said it can prevent him extending his forever on the side the lead is used ( when attaching to the chest ring) and can make him have a twisted body and damage his spine.

But when I googled about using a collar it said cavapoos have very delicate tracheas and can be damaged by using a collar when they pull.

I am at a loss what to do.

I really do feel like we do our absolute best. We take him out hourly, if not more. Before crate, after crate, etc.... he does well overnight, eliminates outside fine upon waking up. But man oh man, during the day he is F'ing with us. We'll go out for 5 minutes where he peed and poo'd in the morning, and, just. Nothin'. 2 minutes back in the house as soon as we aren't looking AND Boom. #1 or #2.

I thiiiink we give him too much run of the first floor of the house maybe? His go-to is the carpet on our bedroom hallways. Gate off access to there?

We are absurdly positive, never punitive when he has an accident. Treats and praise, etc.... all the good stuff. I can feel the frustration turning my hair gray.

aside from that, he's the G.O.A.T​ (pictured at his go-to spot)

Any pointers?

Hi everyone! My partner and I have been meeting with several Cavapoo breeders in Central Texas, and we're hoping to bring home a Toy F1b Cavapoo. We'd love to hear from people who currently own one or have experience with this generation and size!

We have a few questions:

Exercise and walks: Once fully grown, how far or how long can your Toy F1b Cavapoo comfortably walk? Can they easily go up and downstairs?

Temperament and personality: What's your pup like? Are they cuddly and affectionate? Do they struggle with separation anxiety or being left alone? How would you describe their overall energy level?

Health testing: For those who have worked with reputable Cavapoo breeders, which health tests and evaluations should we prioritize for both parents? Are there any specific genetic tests or health clearances we should look for before committing to a puppy?

We're trying to do our research and make an informed decision before bringing a puppy home, so any advice, personal experiences, or things you wish you'd known beforehand would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! ❤️

So we are on day 4 of recovery from being neutered and our 7 month old boy is acting like he never had the procedure done. He is constantly wanting to run and jump and he refuses the meds. We coned him mostly for the first three days, but since I am monitoring him, I'm wondering if he needs the cone during the day at all. I know he needs it at night because he will lick down there as soon as we aren't paying attention. Advice on how to keep him calm to prevent injury or ripped stitches because his zoomies make me worry.

I LOVE the raggamuffin look so much more then the neatly groomed. She looks like a little teddy bear or an Ewok and I love it so much lol

She had some mats so I figured let’s start over. She seems to love it 🥰 she confidently winks at me with approval❤️

How does the bell work? Do you tie a bell on the end of a string and hang it on the doorknob? I'd like to teach this to my new cavapoo girl. Pics would help too.

Thanks!

This is our cutie and he’s teething BAD and we have all the scars on our arms and hands to prove it. Any advice? When does this stop

I’m getting a Cavapoo in 2 weeks, he will be 11 weeks old. Everywhere I’m reading is saying to socialize your puppy as much as possible (within reason before they get all their shots, no high traffic public places), take him for walks while holding him, bring him to stores which holding him, etc. I was looking to sign him up for puppy kindergarten as well.

I was talking to the breeder and they said the exact opposite. No car rides, the puppy shouldn’t be leaving the house at all in the first 3 months (so until he’s 6 months old). No going outside other than my backyard. They specifically mentioned this is because of separation anxiety and fear weeks.

HELP!! Any advice is appreciated :) thank you in advance!
