The Complete Cavapoo Knowledge Hub

At Cedar Wood Farms, every parent dog is DNA tested for breed-relevant genetic conditions and receives full health clearances (OFA, cardiac, patella) before entering our breeding program. We breed for health and temperament first — never for volume. Each puppy goes home with a written genetic health guarantee, veterinary exam records, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, and a microchip.

Cavapoos need brushing several times a week to prevent matting and a professional trim every 6–8 weeks. Their low-shedding coat still requires consistent care. Bathe as needed, clean ears weekly, and brush teeth regularly. See our full grooming guide for a step-by-step routine.

Feed a high-quality, age-appropriate puppy food and transition to adult food around 10–12 months. Portion by weight and activity level. We send each puppy home on the food they're eating to ease the transition and will share our current feeding schedule at pickup.

Cavapoos are highly trainable thanks to their intelligence and eagerness to please. Start positive-reinforcement training early, prioritize socialization during the 8–16 week window, and use crate training to build confidence. Consistency and patience go a long way.

Cavapoos need moderate exercise — a daily walk plus playtime. They're equally happy in an apartment or a home with a yard as long as their need for companionship and activity is met. Mental enrichment matters as much as physical exercise.

Cavapoos typically live 12–15 years. Annual vet exams, dental care, a balanced diet, regular exercise, and a loving home support a long, healthy life. We provide vaccination and deworming records for every puppy.
