Puppy Tips
Tick Season Tips
Now that flea and tick season is upon us, it is important to start preventative treatment. Preventative treatments will help protect your dog from these parasites. We highly recommend either Frontline topical treatments or Seresto collars. If you don’t already have these on hand, ask your vet for a prescription or you can purchase a Seresto collar over the counter.
A few other helpful tips for tick prevention include keeping your lawn cut short, spraying your yard with pet-friendly preventative spray, all natural pet friendly essential oils on your dog’s collar, and consistently checking your dog for ticks.
Please note: We do NOT, under any circumstances, recommend oral flea and tick medication! CVL only recommends the use of topical flea and tick prevention.

What is a multi-generational Australian Labradoodle?
Multi-generational Australian Labradoodles are a cross between many different parent breeds. The breed originated in Australia in the 1980s with the intent of creating an allergy-friendly service dog for the blind. Australian Labradoodles are a combination of a Poodle, Labrador Retriever, English Cocker Spaniel, American Cocker Spaniel, and Irish Water dogs. These breeds were hand-selected for specific breed qualities to create the ideal service dog for those with allergies. Since then, the breed has continued on and spread across the world. Australian Labradoodles are now considered their own breed with its own breed clubs (ALAA and WALA).
