Maintenance
It is recommended to brush a Cavapoo 2-3 times a week to prevent matting and keep the coat healthy and well-groomed. Baths can be given every 4-6 weeks with products suitable for the coat's texture.
Brushing
The Cavapoo's wavy or slightly curly coat requires regular care to prevent matting and tangles. Brushing several times a week with a comb helps keep the coat free of knots, while also ventilating the skin and maintaining the coat's beautiful structure.
Clipping
Cavapoos typically need regular clipping to keep their coat manageable and free of mats.
Many choose a practical teddy bear cut, where the coat is kept at a moderate length, while others prefer a more natural look with a longer coat. Areas around the eyes, paws, and private parts should be kept well-groomed for comfort and hygiene.
Special attention
Pay particular attention to areas behind the ears, on the chest, in the armpits, and on the legs, where mats can easily form. The ears should be checked regularly, as the dense fur and hanging ears can create a moist environment.
Recommended grooming visits
A professional grooming visit every 4-8 weeks is recommended to keep the coat healthy and free of mats. The visit may include bathing, blow-drying, clipping, ear checks, nail trimming, and general coat care.
Brushes for Cavapoos
The Cavapoo's wavy or slightly curly coat requires regular brushing to prevent matting and keep the coat healthy and well-groomed.
It is recommended to use a brush for daily grooming and a comb to go through the denser areas, ensuring the coat is free of knots right down to the skin.
Areas such as behind the ears, under the legs, on the chest, and around collars or harnesses often require extra attention, as the fur in these areas mats more easily.
During periods of potentially increased shedding, it can be beneficial to brush more frequently to remove loose hairs and prevent tangles.
A conditioning spray can make brushing easier, reduce wear and tear on the coat, and add moisture and shine.


Shampoo and Conditioner for Cavapoos
Cavapoos should be bathed every 4-6 weeks with a moisturizing shampoo that is suitable for the coat's texture and gentle on the skin.
A conditioner after the bath helps keep the coat soft, adds moisture, and makes it easier to comb through, which can help prevent mats.
After bathing, it is important to dry the coat thoroughly. A blow-dryer is often a great help, as moisture trapped close to the skin can increase the risk of mats and skin irritation.
Regular baths combined with proper drying and brushing contribute to a healthy, airy, and well-groomed coat.

Clipping
The Cavapoo's coat grows continuously and therefore requires regular clipping to remain healthy and well-groomed.
Most Cavapoos are clipped every 2-3 months, depending on coat length and desired look. Regular clipping helps prevent matting and makes daily grooming easier.
Typical areas for clipping are:
• Body and legs to keep the coat at a practical length
• Around the eyes for better visibility
• Paws for better hygiene and grip
• Around the private area for increased comfort and cleanliness

General information for Cavapoos
Ears: A Cavapoo's hanging ears should be checked and cleaned weekly to prevent wax buildup, moisture, and irritation. The dense fur around the ears can create a moist environment, increasing the risk of ear problems.
Teeth: Regular brushing helps prevent tartar and contributes to good oral hygiene. Chews and dental snacks can also be a good supplement to daily dental care.
Paw pads and nose: It is recommended to keep both paw pads and nose moisturized to prevent dryness and cracking, especially during periods of frost, heat, or dry air.

Nail clippers for Cavapoo
The Cavapoo is an active dog breed that requires regular nail care to ensure good comfort and natural movement patterns.
Nail clippers for small or medium-sized dogs provide good control and make it easier to trim nails safely and precisely.
It is important to check the nails regularly, as they do not always wear down naturally enough – especially in dogs that primarily walk on soft surfaces.
