Cockapoo health overview

The big picture

Lifespan and outlook

14–18years

Cockapoos typically live 14–18 years.

Like any cross, a Cockapoo can inherit health problems from either parent breed, the Cocker Spaniel or the Poodle. Crossing two breeds does not by itself make a healthier dog. In two UK owner studies, Cockapoos had about as many health problems as other dogs. This page explains the conditions its parent breeds are known to be prone to, and what you can do about each one.

Everyday habits

A few everyday habits help prevent many common problems.

Keep your dog lean, check its ears every week, brush its teeth and book a checkup every year.

Common Cockapoo health conditions

Worth knowing

Eye problems and hip and knee problems are among the conditions its parent breeds are known to be prone to. Ear infections and weight gain are everyday problems that good habits help you catch early.

This list is not exhaustive or official. Keep asking your veterinarian as your puppy grows.

Ears

Ear infections (otitis externa) are more common in Cockapoos than in many dogs. Long, hairy ears trap moisture, and some Cockapoos grow hair inside the ear canal.

What you might notice

Look inside the ears every week for wax, dirt or anything new.

What you can do

Check the ears after swims too, and ask your vet whether to clean or pluck them.

Eyes

Both parent breeds can pass on cataracts, a clouding of the lens. They can also pass on progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), a slow loss of sight that comes on over time. The Cocker Spaniel side can also have glaucoma, raised pressure inside the eye.

What you might notice

Watch for a cloudy eye or any change in your dog's sight.

What you can do

Have eye changes checked promptly, and ask your vet about an exam by an eye specialist.

Eyelids and tears

The Cocker Spaniel side often has extra eyelashes along the eyelid edge (distichiasis). It can also pass on dry eye. Cherry eye is another, when the gland of the third eyelid slips out of place.

What you might notice

Watch for eye discharge, and mention any change around the eyes at checkups.

What you can do

Your vet checks the eyelids and lashes at each exam, and trimming the hair around the eyes helps.

Knees and hips

The Poodle side can pass on kneecaps that slip out of place (patellar luxation). Both sides can pass on hip dysplasia, a hip joint that forms loosely as a puppy grows.

What you might notice

Tell your vet about any change in the way your dog walks.

What you can do

Keep your dog lean, and go easy on jumping while it grows. Hips cannot be judged in a young puppy, so your vet can check them once your dog is grown.

Weight and the windpipe

Cockapoos put on weight easily. Extra weight makes a weak windpipe (tracheal collapse) worse, a problem on the Toy Poodle side.

What you might notice

Notice early if your Cockapoo starts to gain weight.

What you can do

Measure meals, keep treats tiny, and cut back a little if your dog is gaining.

Less common conditions in the Cockapoo

Less common

Hormones

An underactive thyroid, called hypothyroidism (Cocker Spaniel side): a blood test can find it.

Eyes

Folds in the retina, called retinal dysplasia (Cocker Spaniel side): an eye specialist finds them on an exam.

Blood

A type of anemia caused by the dog's own immune system, called immune-mediated hemolytic anemia or IMHA (Cocker Spaniel side).

Liver

Long-term inflammation of the liver, called chronic hepatitis (Cocker Spaniel side).

Hips

A hip problem from poor blood flow to the thigh bone, called Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (Toy Poodle side).

Teeth and mouth

Gum disease, called periodontal disease (Toy Poodle side): daily tooth brushing helps prevent it.

Liver

A poorly formed blood supply to the liver, called portal vein hypoplasia (Toy Poodle side).

Spine

A loose joint between the first two neck bones, called atlantoaxial instability (Toy Poodle side): it is present from birth.

Hormones

Diabetes (Toy and Miniature Poodle side): the body makes too little insulin.

Eyes

An optic nerve that did not fully form, called optic nerve hypoplasia (Miniature Poodle side).

Bones and joints

A form of dwarfism, called osteochondrodysplasia (Miniature Poodle side): a DNA test can find it.

Heart

A heart valve disease, called mitral valve disease (Miniature Poodle side): it often starts late in life and stays mild.

Cockapoo DNA tests

DNA tests

How it works

A cheek-swab DNA test can check a dog for several uncommon inherited diseases from both parent breeds. Each result comes back as clear, carrier or at risk. A clear dog did not inherit the gene change the test looks for. A carrier has one copy of the gene change and is healthy. An at-risk result means a higher chance of the disease, not a diagnosis. For a bleeding disorder called von Willebrand disease, many at-risk dogs never show signs.

What the tests cover

The tests most often suggested for Cockapoos look for a slow loss of sight (PRA) and von Willebrand disease. They also look for an enzyme disorder (PFK deficiency) and an inherited kidney disease (familial nephropathy).

Cockapoo vet checkups

Checkups your dog will get

Puppy visits

Your vet keeps up vaccines and parasite control.
Your vet can also look at the eyelids, the ears and the knees.
Hips cannot be judged in a young puppy, so hip checks come later.

Young adult

Your vet keeps an eye on weight while the hips and knees develop.
It is a good time to talk with your vet about spaying or neutering.
From about a year old, an exam by an eye specialist can catch changes early.

Adult

A yearly exam looks at the eyes, the eyelashes and the ears.
Your vet also checks the teeth and weight.

Senior years

Checkups become more frequent.
Mention cloudy eyes, changes in sight or stiff joints.

Focus

Eyes

What the vet checks

The vet checks the eyes for extra eyelashes along the eyelid edges (distichiasis), discharge, and cloudiness or other signs of a vision problem.

Cockapoo note

Both parent breeds can inherit eye conditions such as cataract, so an early look at the eyes is worth having on record.

Focus

Ears

What the vet checks

The vet looks inside the ears with a lighted scope for debris and signs of infection.

Cockapoo note

Long, hairy ears hold moisture, which is why Cockapoos get ear infections more often than many dogs.

Focus

Kneecaps and hips

What the vet checks

The vet feels each knee to check that the kneecap stays in place, and checks the hips for any sign of pain.

Cockapoo note

A slipping kneecap (patellar luxation) is one of the conditions seen in Toy and Miniature Poodles, the Cockapoo's Poodle parents. As your puppy grows, watch how it walks, and mention any skipping step or stiffness to your vet.

Cockapoo note

Honest limits

Puppies grow and change quickly, and their immune systems are still developing, so no single exam can find everything. The exam is a strong early indicator and a documented starting point that your own vet builds on.

Once your puppy is home

Your puppy's vaccination and deworming records are separate documents that travel with your puppy.
Bring them, with the Veterinary Health Report, to your first visit so your vet starts from the same record.
Before travel, every puppy follows PetPay's vaccination and deworming schedule as far as its age allows.
Bordetella and corona are given at the vet's discretion, and no vaccine is given within 3 days of travel.
Rabies is given by a licensed vet on the schedule your state requires.
Your own vet completes the series.
Keep up parasite control over the first months, as your vet advises.
Hips cannot be judged in a young puppy, so ask your vet about checking them once your Cockapoo is grown.
From about a year old, an eye exam by a veterinary eye specialist can catch eye changes early.
As an adult, your Cockapoo does best with a yearly checkup that includes the eyes and ears.

Frequently asked questions about Cockapoo health

Frequently asked questions

What health problems do Cockapoos have?

A Cockapoo can inherit conditions its parent breeds are known to be prone to, from the Cocker Spaniel and the Poodle. The ones most worth knowing about are eye problems such as cataracts and progressive retinal atrophy, eyelid problems, slipping kneecaps and hip dysplasia. Ear infections and weight gain are the everyday problems to watch for.

Copy link to this question

Are Cockapoos healthier than purebred dogs?

Not automatically. Crossing two breeds does not by itself make a healthier dog, and a Cockapoo can inherit conditions from either parent breed. In two UK owner studies, Cockapoos had about as many health problems as other dogs.

Copy link to this question

Are Cockapoos prone to ear infections?

Cockapoos get ear infections more often than many dogs, partly because their long, hairy ears hold moisture. Check the ears every week, and ask your vet whether to clean or pluck them.

Copy link to this question

What DNA tests are available for Cockapoos?

The usual cheek-swab tests look for a slow loss of sight (PRA) and a bleeding disorder called von Willebrand disease. They also look for an enzyme disorder (PFK deficiency) and an inherited kidney disease (familial nephropathy). Each result is clear, carrier or at risk. A carrier has one copy of a gene change and is healthy. An at-risk result means a higher chance of the disease, not a diagnosis.

Copy link to this question

When can a Cockapoo's hips and eyes be checked?

Hips cannot be judged in a young puppy, so hip checks come once your dog is grown. From about a year old, an eye exam by a veterinary eye specialist can catch eye changes early.

Copy link to this question

How long do Cockapoos live?

Cockapoos typically live 14–18 years. A lean weight, dental care and a yearly checkup help them stay well as they age.

Copy link to this question

What changes should I watch for as my Cockapoo gets older?

Watch for cloudy eyes, a loss of sight and stiff joints, and expect checkups to become more frequent. Eye changes can point to cataracts, progressive retinal atrophy or glaucoma, so have them checked promptly.

Copy link to this question

Do Cockapoos cope with hot weather?

Cockapoos are not flat-faced, and a UK study found their odds of heat-related illness no different from those of Labrador Retrievers.

Copy link to this question

How can I help my Cockapoo stay healthy?

Everyday habits do most of the work: keep your dog lean, check the ears every week, brush the teeth daily and book a yearly exam. Keep the coat clipped so the hair stays out of the eyes.
