Cockapoo puppies do not require a great deal of attention and maintenance, but they do need some. Following are some tips that a new puppy owner will want to keep in mind. Following these simple tips will help you ensure that your new pup is properly groomed, fed and cared for at all times.

After buying a cockapoo, be sure to take it to the vet for a checkup and vaccinations. You should in fact visit the vet regularly in order to make sure the dog is healthy and developing properly.

Be sure to buy good quality dog food, as cockapoos do not handle leftovers well. There are many good brand names to choose from, so pick a brand that you feel is a good option and then stick to it. Dry food is the best option for this particular breed of pup and it should be fed three times a day, at around the same time every day.

You can start training your cockapoo pup once it turns three or four weeks old. The first thing you will want to teach the pup is to only pee and poop outside the home. Take the pup out right after they wake up, after meals, after playtime and right before bedtime. Praise the pup when it pees or poops in the right location. After you have successfully housebroken your pet, you can start teaching it commands such as “go”, “come” and/or “fetch”. It is also important to teach the pup what it can and cannot chew on.

Cockapoos also need to be properly groomed on a regular basis. Cockapoos need to have their hair brushed every single day, and their teeth should be brushed once a week. These dogs also need a monthly bath, toenail clipping and ear cleaning. Additionally, you will want to cut the dog’s hair whenever it gets too long.

Cockapoos live longer than many other dog breeds and are sure to bring you plenty of happiness. Just be sure to take good care of your new pup by providing it with healthy food, consistent training and regular grooming. Regular checkups from a good vet are also in order and will ensure that your pup remains healthy and happy for a long time.
