To choose a Cavoodle bed, along with the size and material of the bed, there is another criterion: whether this bed supports your Cavoodle sufficiently enough to protect its bones and joints.

 

In general, Cavoodles are small to medium-built dogs. They range in weight from 5 to 12 kilograms, and in height, they stand at about 25-38 cm.
