These little dogs are cute as a button and much loved as indoor lapdogs. If you are getting a Cavoodle, it helps to know how much they should weigh.
Cavoodles are a small breed
Cavoodles are small dogs, so they do not weigh a great deal, which is part of what makes them such good lap dogs and family pets. Their small size makes them lovely with children, and they do not need much space indoors, since they are happiest simply being wherever you are. So how much should a Cavoodle weigh?
What is a healthy weight for a Cavoodle?
It depends on the type of Cavoodle you have. There are two main kinds, Toy and Mini. A Toy Cavoodle usually sits around 4 to 7kg fully grown, while a Mini Cavoodle is generally 7 to 12kg. That is a reasonable range, and where your dog lands depends on their parents. Weight can shift a little with genetics and feeding, but those figures are a good guide.
Managing your Cavoodle’s weight
If your Cavoodle is running a bit heavier or lighter than it should, it may be worth reviewing their eating habits. Your vet will give you the best advice, but as a general rule an adult Cavoodle should eat at least twice a day, with portions suited to their weight, and regular feeding times help keep things steady.
For a heavier Cavoodle, exercise really matters. A daily walk plus some play at home keeps them fit and happy, and staying active is the simplest way to stop your dog from piling on weight.
What if my Cavoodle is not gaining weight?
If you are genuinely worried about your pup’s weight, a trip to the vet is the right move. There are all sorts of reasons a dog might not be at the weight they should be, from simply not eating enough through to something like a tummy bug, and a vet will know how to get to the bottom of it.
The perfect compact pet
Because Cavoodles weigh so little, they make wonderful family pets. Their gentle nature and light frame make them a safe choice around small children, though a little supervision is always wise with kids under six, since accidents happen when you least expect them.
