Cavachons are a small breed of dogs that are typically lower energy but still playful. While they don't need as much exercise as some larger breeds, they still require regular physical activity to maintain their health and happiness. Here are some general exercise requirements for Cavachons:
Daily Walks: Cavachons should be taken for at least one walk per day, lasting around 20-30 minutes. This will help them burn off energy and stay in good physical condition.
Playtime: Cavachons enjoy playtime and should have access to a safe and secure outdoor area where they can run around and play fetch or other games. Alternatively, indoor playtime with toys and interactive games can also provide mental stimulation and exercise.
Training and Mental Stimulation: In addition to physical exercise, Cavachons require mental stimulation through training and play. Training sessions can be used to teach new commands and tricks, which can be mentally stimulating for the dog. Interactive toys and puzzles can also help to keep the dog's mind active and engaged.
Swimming: Cavachons can enjoy swimming if given the opportunity, and it can be a great low-impact exercise for dogs with joint issues or older dogs. However, it's important to supervise dogs while they swim and ensure that they have access to a safe and secure area to swim in.
It's important to note that Cavachons can become overweight if they don't get enough exercise or if they overeat, which can lead to health problems such as joint issues and diabetes. Therefore, it's crucial to provide your Cavachons with a balanced diet, appropriate portion sizes, and regular exercise to keep them at a healthy weight. We will guide you on the best food and nutrition available in Singapore.
Overall, Cavachons need a moderate amount of exercise and mental stimulation to stay healthy and happy. A combination of daily walks, playtime, training, and mental stimulation should be enough to keep them active and engaged. However, it's important to tailor their exercise routine to their individual needs and energy levels.
Cavachons have a soft, curly or wavy coat that requires regular grooming to keep it clean, tangle-free, and healthy. The grooming requirements for a Cavachon may vary depending on the length and thickness of their coat, but in general, they need to be brushed and groomed at least once a week.
Here are some grooming requirements and recommendations for Cavachons:
Brushing: Regular brushing can help remove loose hair, prevent mats and tangles, and distribute natural oils throughout the coat, which helps keep the skin health.
Bathing: Cavachons needs to be bathed every week in Singapore's humid climate. Use a mild dog shampoo (we recommend Silky shampoo) and be sure to rinse thoroughly to avoid any skin irritation. Lastly, remember to blow dry to make sure the skin is completely dry to prevent skin issues.
Trimming: Cavachons also require occasional trimming or clipping, particularly around the ears, paws, and face, to prevent overgrowth and tangles and maintain a tidy appearance.
Nail Clipping: Cavachons' nails should be trimmed regularly to prevent them from getting too long and causing discomfort or injury. Be sure to use a sharp, proper nail clipper and avoid cutting too close to the quick. Leave the cutting to the Professional dog groomer to avoid traumatizing the puppy if nails bleed during cutting (which is very common).
Teeth Cleaning: Regular teeth cleaning is important for Cavachons to prevent dental problems. Brush their teeth with a soft-bristled toothbrush and use a dog-specific toothpaste.
Ear Cleaning: Cavachons can have ear infections, so it's important to clean their ears regularly with a gentle, dog-specific ear cleaner to prevent buildup of dirt and bacteria.
Overall, Cavachons require regular grooming to keep them looking and feeling their best. With proper grooming and maintenance, you can help ensure your Cockapoo stays healthy, comfortable, and happy.
