Do you have a Cavachon pup and wonder how tall he or she will grow? Our growth calculator and charts will predict your dog’s adult weight. Simply put in your pup’s weight and age into our calculator and we will estimate the adult size!
Cavachons are small dogs. As a cross between two small breeds – the Bichon Frise and the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel – their full grown adult size is going to be around 11-13 inches. As in all dog breeds, females are slightly smaller than males.
Small dogs reach their adult size faster than large breeds. Generally, they all are done with growing around their first birthday. Most small dogs like the Cavachon already reach their final size at 10 months old.
When and if you spay or neuter your dog can make a difference for his growth:
In order to ensure your Cavachon grows up healthily and happily, here are a couple pointers for you.
Feed your Cavachon puppy a healthy and balanced diet. This diet can come from a variety of store-brought foods:
Most puppies and adolescent dogs are normal-weight or skinny. After your dog passes the age of 18 months though, he may become a little more chunky. This is especially true for lap dogs like the Cavachon as they often do not lead very active lives.
When you dog is between 1 and 2 years old, you will probably have to feed him a little bit less than before. You can assess your Cavachon’s weight by running your fingers along his sides. You should be able to easily feel the ribs without pushing in.
If your pup has a layer of fat over his ribs, it is time to cut down his food. You do not want your Cavachon to grow overweight or obese as this can lead to a variety of health issues down the line.
Additional exercise is another great way to keep your Cavachon lean and healthy. Even though these dogs are small, they often enjoy to play fetch, go for walks or even try out some dog sport like agility.
