Uncompromising Health Standards from Day One

When searching for Cockapoo health and care UK guidance, prospective owners want absolute certainty that their puppy has been given the healthiest possible start. At Little Paws Angels, health isn’t an afterthought it forms the core foundation of our breeding program.

Raised inside our London home, our puppies benefit from rigorous parent health screenings, early neurological stimulation, proper veterinary protocols, and clean domestic living. We ensure every puppy leaves us robust, confident, and backed by comprehensive genetic guarantees.

UK Veterinary Examination & Vaccination Schedule

Every puppy raised in our home undergoes a comprehensive physical examination by a registered UK veterinary surgeon at 8 weeks of age.

• Physical Inspection: Comprehensive checks covering heart function, lung sounds, eyesight, bite alignment, umbilical checks, and joint movement.
• Core Vaccination: Administered with the primary core dose (Nobivac DHP/L4) at 8 weeks old. Your veterinary card is provided showing exact batch numbers and dates for your local vet to follow up at 10–12 weeks.
• Microchipping: Fully registered in compliance with UK microchipping legislation and ready for instant transfer into your name.
• Worming & Flea Prevention: Treated routinely at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks using UK-approved veterinary products (Panacur).

Cockapoo Diet and Grooming Requirements

Maintaining your Cockapoo’s health at home requires proper daily care, balanced nutrition, and consistent coat upkeep.

1. Nutrition & Feeding Schedule

• Diet: Our puppies are weaned onto premium, hypoallergenic UK puppy kibble packed with high-quality protein, essential omega fatty acids, and joint support.
• Feeding Frequency: 4 small meals per day up to 4 months of age; transitioning to 3 meals daily until 6 months, and 2 meals daily into adulthood.
• Transition Guarantee: You receive a 2 kg starter bag of their familiar food to prevent digestive upset during their transition into your home.

2. Coat Care & Grooming Schedule

• Brushing: F1 and F1b fleece/curly coats require thorough brushing 3–4 times a week using a slicker brush and metal comb to prevent matting down to the skin.
• Professional Grooming: Expect your Cockapoo to visit a professional groomer every 6 to 8 weeks for a full coat clip, hygiene trim, and nail trim starting from 3–4 months of age (once fully vaccinated).
• Ear Care: Because of their floppy ears inherited from the Cocker Spaniel line, ears should be checked weekly, kept dry, and cleaned gently with a vet-approved ear cleanser.

1. 7-Day Initial Vet Check Window: You are encouraged to take your puppy to your own UK vet within 7 days of collection. If your vet discovers any undisclosed health issues, we offer a full return and refund.
2. 12-Month Genetic Health Guarantee: Protects your puppy against life-threatening hereditary genetic conditions covered in our parent DNA testing panels.

Health & Care FAQs

When can my Cockapoo puppy go outside in public areas?

Your puppy can go out into public parks and walks 1 to 2 weeks after receiving their second core vaccination (usually around 11–12 weeks of age). Prior to this, they can enjoy secure private gardens.

Are Cockapoos prone to sensitive stomachs?

Like many Poodle crosses, some Cockapoos have sensitive digestive systems. Keeping them on a consistent, high-quality, grain-free or limited-ingredient diet prevents tummy upsets.

How do I prepare for my puppy’s first night?

We provide a blanket infused with the scent of mum and littermates. Keeping this blanket in their crate or bed provides instant security and helps them settle quietly during their first nights in your home.
