Answer

Hi! Cockapoos are adorable little puppies!

Your little guy is definitely overdue for a vet visit. He needs to visit the vet ever 3-4 weeks until he is older then 16 weeks of age. If the vaccines are not boostered regularly until then, he will no longer be protected, and will be at risk for parvo and other diseases.

In addition, you will want to make sure a fecal check is done at least 2-4 times before he is 6 months old, and that you have started him on once monthly heartworm prevention. I recommend flea prevention in this breed, too, due to their risk of developing flea allergies.

Please let me know if I can help with anything else! Give him a pet for me.
Sincerely,
XX. XXXXXX
