The perfect guide for new CAVAPOO puppy parents to be! All you’ll need to guide you through your Cavapoo’s crucial first year! Expert answers and advice for new owners. CAVAPOOS have fast become one of the world’s most in-demand crossbreeds. Universally loving and infinitely loveable, they are cute and intelligent, watchful and insightful. They are athletic and agile, while not needing too much by way of daily exercise. They are soft and cuddly while also being relatively low-shedding. Importantly, however, they don’t like being alone, so they’re not a sensible choice for anyone who would need to leave them for long stretches, even when they’re fully grown. Also worth knowing now is that their gorgeous coats are high maintenance – needing regular trimming as well as brushing. This guide equips you with everything you’ll need to know to be a great ‘parent’ to your Cavapoo puppy.

It is filled with tips and advice to help get your special relationship off to a wonder-filled start.

She says, “In an ideal world, all prospective dog owners would take on rescues, or dogs that need rehoming, at least until they were in short supply. But there is also good reason for choosing a puppy, so if that is your decision, be sure to use those early days, weeks and months well, because puppies blessed with a good start in life are unlikely to find themselves in rescue shelters. “This is my hope for the ‘You and Your Puppy’ series of books. In a nutshell, it’s to help you to give your puppy the best possible start in life, with a relationship built on love, kindness and mutual understanding.” • Carry Aylward is a professional member of the Dog Writer’s Association of America.
