Why we love Cockapoos

Cockapoos are one of the nation's most popular dogs, with their friendly personality and moderate exercise requirements, making them a great first dog for many families.

 

Cockapoos are a cross between a poodle and a Cocker Spaniel (they’re also sometimes called a spoodle)

Known to have low-shedding fur and are hypoallergenic to most humans 

They’re often a social breed who loves to interact with both humans and other dogs

*For dental care up to your chosen Vet Fee limit. If your pet has a dental check every 12 months: once it has had its first check and your vet has done any necessary work, should your pet suffer from tooth decay or gum disease before the next 12 month check, or if tooth decay or gum disease are seen at the time of the next check, we pay. If your pet doesn’t have a check every 12 months, or if the work required is not done, we will only pay;

1) For teeth or gums if they are damaged in an accident,
2) If an underlying illness causes tooth decay or gum disease, or
3) To remove teeth as treatment of an illness which is not gum disease or tooth decay.

Average treatment costs

The cost of treatments for poorly pets can vary depending on the individual price of your vet and whether your furry friend needs any follow-up treatment.

 

Getting pet insurance gives you the reassurance that if your dog needs to go to the vet for any new conditions that are covered by your policy, you won’t have to foot the bill alone.

FAQs

Yes, all dogs shed to an extent, but Cockapoos have been known to shed less than other breeds due to their poodle genetics. If you are looking for a Cockapoo that is likely to be hypoallergenic, the best option could be an F1b (Cockapoo and Poodle mix). Their coat may be mostly poodle and made up of tight curls that shed less.

An F1 Cockapoo is a first-generation Cockapoo, meaning that their parents will be a pedigree Cocker Spaniel and a pedigree poodle. An F2 Cockapoo has two F1 Cockapoos for parents and is, therefore, second generation.

Cockapoo puppies will stop growing around the 9 to 12-month mark.
