It's important to note that these characteristics can vary depending on the individual dog and their upbringing, even within the same breed. So it's always a good idea to do your research and meet with us to learn more about specific Cavapoo you may be interested in.
Cavapoo is the very popular, designer crossbreed of a Cavalier King Charles spaniel and a miniature or toy poodle. They are extremely friendly to human, children and other pets alike. A Cavapoo is a terrific pup for first-time dog owners, families in search of an adorable playmate for children, or seniors who want an endearing companion. In addition, their fur is often hypoallergenic due to its poodle parent. While the Mayo Clinic stresses that no dog is allergen-free, some people might have less reaction to the proteins found in a Cavapoo's dander, saliva, and urine.
As Cavapoo are a cross breed, their fur can range from short smooth fur (like a cavalier king charles) to a wavy silky fur or a curly poodle coat. The latter two are especially popular due to their non shedding property.
They are a medium size breed, typically weighing between 7-10kg, not too small and not too big! Their fur colour ranges from cream, to red, to brown to black which comes with or without markings.
Cavapoos are known for their friendly demeanor. They are gentle and affectionate with their families, and are often good with children and other pets. They are intelligent and are easy trained.
They have moderate exercise needs and are adaptable to different living condition. Regular walks at least once a day, simple obedience training and generally being included in their owner's life make them happy.
The average lifespan for a Cavapoo is 14-18 years, though some may live longer with proper care and attention to their health.
Overall, Cavapoos are delightful companion dogs that are well-suited for a wide range of lifestyles and living situations. They make loyal, affectionate pets that bring joy and companionship to their owners.
Cavapoos are very similar in looks and temperament to Cockapoos, with cockapoos as the slightly larger cousin.
Cavapoos have moderate exercise requirements and need around 30 to 60 minutes of exercise per day to stay healthy and happy. They are energetic dogs that enjoy playing and going for walks, but they are also content with short bursts of activity.
Cavapoos are adaptable dogs that can do well in different living situations, including apartments, as long as they get enough exercise and playtime. Regular walks, play sessions, and activities such as fetching, swimming, or agility training can help keep your Cavapoo mentally stimulated and physically fit. Most of them have non shedding fur so owners love them for allergy sufferers or apartment living.
It's important to note that Cavapoos 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 Cavapoo 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, Cavapoos are active dogs that require moderate exercise to stay happy and healthy. With regular exercise and playtime, your Cavapoo can be an excellent companion that brings joy and energy to your life.
Cavapoos have a soft, curly or wavy coat that requires regular grooming to keep it clean, tangle-free, and healthy. The grooming requirements for a Cavapoo 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 Cavapoos:
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: Cavapoos 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: Cavapoos also require occasional trimming or clipping, particularly around the ears, paws, and face, to prevent overgrowth and tangles and maintain a tidy appearance. Bring your cavapoo to a professional dog groomer every 2 months for a full grooming service to get the best result.
Nail Clipping: Cavapoos' 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 Cavapoos to prevent dental problems. Brush their teeth with a soft-bristled toothbrush and use a dog-specific toothpaste.
Ear Cleaning: Cavapoos 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, Cavapoos require regular grooming to keep them looking and feeling their best. With proper grooming and maintenance, you can help ensure your Cavapoo stays healthy, comfortable, and happy.
