Health Tips

Spring is Here!

Hey dog lovers! We all want our pups to live their best lives, filled with cuddles, playtime, and adventures. At Colonial Village Labradoodles, we deeply care for our dog families and desire the best health for our four legged friends. With Spring on its way, we find it a great time to remind all dog owners of the importance of Flea and Tick prevention. 

A few months ago we posted a Flea prevention blog with helpful at-home preventative options. We highly recommend that you check out this helpful blog post as we enter this Spring season. 

We recommend Frontline, a topical prevention as well as these at-home benefits mentioned in the linked blog post. At CVL we do NOT recommend ever using oral flea and tick preventative as this type of prevention has been linked to seizures in many cases. Flea and tick collars are also a helpful preventative, especially in prime flea and tick season. Seresto collars can be found on Amazon and are our preferred flea and tick collars. Enjoy the beautiful spring blooms and outdoors with your dogs, all while keeping them safe and protected! 

About CVL

Colonial Village Labradoodles is Indiana’s premier labradoodle breeder. We raise multi-generational Australian Labradoodle and Australian Bernedoodle puppies with a purpose. Our dogs are bred for their therapy-oriented temperaments and allergy-friendly coats.

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).
