The Mini Cavoodle was crafted as the ideal companion dog, blending the best traits of its parent breeds.

Despite gaining popularity over time and being widely embraced in Australia through breeding programs, it has not been officially recognised by kennel clubs due to its hybrid nature.

How can I take good care of my Mini Cavoodle?
Nutrition
Feed your Mini Cavoodle a high-quality dog food suited to their age, size, and energy levels.
Split meals into two portions per day to maintain energy and avoid overfeeding.
Add variety with lean proteins, fresh vegetables, and the occasional healthy treat. Always ensure fresh water is available.
Grooming
Mini Cavoodles look like plush toys come to life. But those cuddly good looks don’t stay that way by accident. Their coat needs regular upkeep, and if you skip a few days, you’ll pay for it in tangles and mats that turn grooming into a battle.
Recommended Grooming Tips
Use a slicker brush to detangle their coat gently.
To avoid tear staining, wipe your dog’s eyes often. Keep the hair around its eyes trimmed.
Brush your dog’s teeth at least twice a week to prevent tartar buildup and gingivitis. However, to prevent periodontal disease, consider daily brushing.
Exercise
Despite their small size, Mini Cavoodles come with a solid stash of energy. They’re no fan of sitting idle for hours on end, and you’ll start seeing some stir-crazy behaviour if they don’t get their daily fix.
A brisk walk, a game of tug, or a few laps around the backyard will usually do the trick.
Aim for around 30 minutes of movement each day. They’ll take it in stride and reward you by snoozing peacefully on the couch after they’ve burned off the wiggles.
Whether you’re out and about or laying low, they’ll match your pace like it’s second nature.
Training
Mini Cavoodles are sharp as tacks and eager to do the right thing—as long as you show them what that looks like.
You don’t need to be a dog whisperer to get results. Start with the basics: sit, stay, come.
Keep sessions short enough to hold their attention and use rewards that matter—treats, enthusiastic praise, a quick cuddle, whatever gets their tail wagging.
This serves as general knowledge and should not be solely relied upon for advice on adoption or buying decisions.
