There’s no standard: the Cockapoo Club of GB says the many variations make one impossible. The club gives about 10 to 13 kg (22 to 29 pounds) as a guide on its feeding page; the medians come from UK vet practices (VetCompass, 2019 data).

According to VCA, Cockapoos tend to become overweight.

Question 1 of 4

How much does your dog weigh?

lbkg

Decimals help, e.g. 22.5. No pet scale? Weigh yourself, then again holding your pet.

A starting point – the scale has the final say. If your dog is ill, talk to your vet.

Cockapoo puppies

As an example we use an adult weight of 26 lb – how big your puppy gets depends on its parents. At 4 months, a puppy then weighs about 14.8 lb on the growth curve in the FEDIAF guidelines and needs about 2 cups of dry food with 380 kcal/cup a day. For your puppy, calculate with its own age and weight.

My dog weighs more than this. Is that too much?

Not necessarily. Crossbreeds vary a lot in weight, depending on their parents. Your dog’s shape tells you more than the number: you should feel the ribs and see a waist from above. If in doubt, ask your vet.
