"she is very reluctant to eat her food is this a common thing with cockapoos"

Not common with mine, she's a pig. But it does very a lot! What food is she on?

Wilf was and has always been a picky eater where as mable is a ganit ... Wilf would often eat food the first time it was givena dnthen not be interetsed after that have given raw barf patty then he got sick of thta and have had moat brands since .. the only thing he will eat religiously is his chicken wing that he has one of everyday... we tried pretending to eat his food to entice him, having a trail leading upto it worked sometimes lol ... when he was really little feeding it to him and to start with we were quite concerned but i think he eats when he's hungry but is quite heavy I always feel like the vet thinks Im lying when i go x

Hi there....

My 4 month old male is a very hungry boy...... clears the bowl too fast at times .... spoke to my breeder and both is parents are not greedy, so hope it will settle down with age... unlike me

I have a 2.5 year old cockapoo staying with us for a while and she is not a greedy girl, at all.

May just be a settling in thing.... just offer the food and pick up bowl after 20-30 mins .... they tend to eat when they need to, maybe keep an eye on her weight .... don't panick though as the vet would tell you if you had anything to worry about.


Enjoy cockapoo ownership .. its a blast!!!! fabulous dogs

My cockapoo Betty, who is nearly 11 months, is not a greedy dog at all. Some days she clears her bowl, others she eats a few biscuits and walks away. She's always hungry is fresh chicken or frankfurters are offered but with her actual food can take it or leave it.
