About Cavoodles

Cavoodles are a playful breed of dog that has been steadily growing in popularity in Australia and around the world. Also known as Cavapoos, this hybrid breed is a cross between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Poodle. The adorable result is a small-to-medium-sized low-shedding dog.

These designer dogs are suitable for cosy homes due to their size. They require attention to grooming, as the Cavoodle’s curly coat requires maintenance. They can also be hypoallergenic, which is a plus for pet-owners with allergies.

Cavoodles enjoy regular walks and playtime. They are an active and playful breed that requires daily exercise to keep them healthy and happy. If this sounds like your lifestyle, the Cavoodle might be the perfect dog breed for you!

💡FUN FACT! Cavoodles can learn tricks incredibly fast—they’re often the star pupil in puppy school.

Common health problems in Cavoodles

Knose covers the following potential health problems in Cavoodles:

Typically up to $5,000 per year

Dental disease in Cavoodles often starts with tartar buildup, leading to gingivitis, or inflamed gums. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontal disease, causing pain, tooth loss, and even infections that affect other organs. Regular dental care is essential to prevent these issues and keep your Cavoodle healthy.

Typically up to $1,500 per treatment

Cavoodles, with their adorable long floppy ears, are prone to ear infections. This is because those ears can trap moisture and create a cosy spot for germs and yeast to thrive. This is especially concerning during hot Australian summers.

  • Knose: Annual excess

Other providers: Excess paid per condition

Typically up to $20,000 per year

Degenerative Mitral Valve Disease (DMVD) is a hereditary condition common in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and their mixes, causing a left-sided heart murmur that can progress to heart failure. Symptoms range from no signs to difficulty breathing, coughing, collapse, or abdominal enlargement, though mild cases can often be managed with monitoring.

Anxiety disorders in Cavoodles can manifest as excessive barking, pacing, destructive behaviour, or trembling, often triggered by separation, loud noises, or changes in routine.

10/10 personalised service!

In January, we brought a puppy (Bella) into our lives – she is beautiful! Recently she had a few gastro issues and subsequent vet visits. Knose Pet Insurance has been awesome. They acknowledged the claims immediately, and then followed up with personal emails advising us of the progress of our claims. We even received a message asking after Bella and a follow up to say how pleased they were that Bella is now doing well. Top class personalized service and a thorough explanation of the claim refunds. 10/10 guys!

Quick refund process

Submitted a claim for the first time after 12 months of insurance and everything went smoothly. I received regular updates of the progress of my claim and the refund process was quick once the team had received all the information from the vet.

Knose has been a great choice for pet insurance. The premiums are relatively affordable, claims are super easy to make by just uploading vet invoices, and the 24 hour phoneline that connects you with a vet nurse is a brilliant feature.

Frequently Asked Questions

In general, dog insurance is worth it because of the financial and emotional benefits of ensured care for your furry friends. And it’s highly recommended for Cavoodles, given the potential for hereditary health issues. It can help offset veterinary expenses throughout their lives.

The best pet insurance is the one that meets your pet’s unique needs. Look at factors like the annual limit, benefit percentage, optional extras (like dental or behavioural cover), and any exclusions. Make sure to compare pet insurance plans wisely. At Knose, we offer customisable options to give you cover that suits you and your pet.

Standard vaccinations include rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and bordetella. Your vet can provide a tailored vaccination schedule.

Like most dogs, Cavoodles will stay healthiest and live the longest with a raw and fresh diet. Furthermore, a balanced diet suited to their age, size, and activity level is essential. It’s best to consult your vet for recommendations on quality dog food, especially when feeding your puppy.

When selecting pet insurance for a Cavoodle, look for cover that includes dental illness and patella luxation, as Cavoodles are prone to dental disease and joint issues—both of which may be excluded unless added as optional extras or assessed during policy setup. It’s also important to ensure the policy allows early enrolment (before age 3) if you want to include optional benefits like dental and behavioural cover, which come with exclusion periods and eligibility limits.

When purchasing a new dog insurance policy for your dog:

  • The minimum age for entry for a pet is 6 weeks old.
  • The maximum age for entry for a pet is 8 years and 364 days old.
  • The maximum age for including or adding optional extra benefits is 2 years and 364 days.

There are no age limits when renewing policies.
