Cockapoos are wonderful dogs. Not only are they very beautiful, but they are also very intelligent and loving. They are often chosen by families with children. But what is the price of a Cockapoo?
Typically the Cockapoo price ranges between €1750 and €3500 depending on the breeder, demand, and color. 100% Belgian puppies from a breeder are usually a bit more expensive than a puppy from Eastern Europe. Additionally, you should budget a monthly cost of 50 to 100 euros for food, toys, medical care, etc.
If you want to buy a Cockapoo puppy, you should expect to spend about 4000 euros in the first year. This includes the purchase of the puppy, food, accessories, and medical expenses.
I must say the expenses are estimated on the higher side. You can provide your dog with either luxury or basic accessories. That already makes a big difference in price and both are good for your dog.
Now that we’ve covered the basics, it’s time to go into more detail.
How much do Cockapoo puppies cost?
If you’re looking for a Cockapoo, it is recommended to find a reputable breeder. They may sometimes be more expensive to start with, but it saves a lot of problems and money in the long run.
A breeder asks between 1750 and 3500 euros for a Cockapoo puppy. Of course, the breeder is free to ask for less or more if they find it necessary. For the right price, which we request at Woefkesranch, it is best to visit the available puppies.
Which factors determine the price?
As with most dog breeds, certain factors influence the initial costs of your Cockapoo puppy. These are the main things to consider:
Bloodline and reputation of the breeder: If the parents of your Cockapoo puppy come from a reputable breeder, you can expect the price to be significantly higher.
Good breeders tend to invest more money than others in caring for their breeding dogs and puppies.
Training and socialization: Some breeders choose to sell their dogs only after they have been trained and socialized. This can also increase the price of the puppy but will save you money because you will likely not need to invest more money, time, and effort in training the puppy yourself. It also increases the chance of having a well-behaved dog from the start.
Popularity of the breed and buyer location: Local supply and demand always influence Cockapoo prices. Small dogs like the Pomeranian or Poodles are, for example, more popular in metropolitan areas where people live in smaller spaces. Meanwhile, some breeds like Huskies are more sought after in colder climates, and others like Beagles are popular where hunting is common, and so on. Due to these differences, it is worthwhile to search for cockapoo prices in various locations. However, it is risky to buy a puppy without first seeing it or at least meeting the breeder and visiting the kennel.
Age: Age is one of the most prominent factors when it comes to the cost of a Cockapoo. Because most people want their new furry friend as young as possible, prices are usually higher when the dog is younger. On average, for example, a two-month-old puppy will be more expensive than a 5-6 month old puppy.
Coat color and markings: Coat color, pattern, and grooming trends can change quickly. For most dog breeds, some coat colors are more popular than others, often temporarily. When interest in a certain color, pattern, or color combination increases, puppies with those traits become more expensive because a rise in popularity usually leads to a higher market price. Finally, puppies with rare coat colors can also be quite costly.
How much do the basic supplies for a Cockapoo cost?
€ 150 – 650
As with any dog, you need certain products at your disposal to make raising a dog easier. This includes items like bowls, toys, beds, shampoo, a leash, and cleaning supplies, to name a few.
Based on prices from over 250 bestsellers from Amazon, ZooPlus, and bol.com, the basic supplies for a Cockapoo in the first year range somewhere between € 150 and € 650. Of course, the price depends on the quality of the purchased items and the location.
| Necessary Accessories | Average Cost |
|---|---|
| Food and Water Bowl | € 15 |
| Leash | € 20 |
| ID Tag with Phone Number | € 10 |

As your dog gets older, the price of necessary supplies significantly decreases. Each year after your puppy’s first year of life, you will incur costs ranging from € 55 to € 260, with an average of € 140.
This includes repurchasing some of the items mentioned above, such as toys, beds, shampoo, poop bags, etc.
Additionally, your puppy may need items not listed above, such as crates, gates, muzzles, clothing, shoes, harnesses, and other grooming or maintenance products. These items will increase your expenses, so keep this in mind when planning your budget.
As you can see, the cost of supplies for a dog can be quite high. If you have a tight budget or just want to save money on these supplies, you can always visit second-hand stores and websites to find great deals.
Training costs?
€150 to €200
According to professional animal behaviorists and dog trainers, professional training is usually not necessary for a dog of this breed. In fact, it is very likely that experienced dog owners will successfully train a Cockapoo themselves.
That said, a few group training sessions can still be a good idea. These group training sessions cover basic obedience and socialization and usually cost between €150 and €200 for five weekly 1-hour lessons.
If you need help training the newest addition to your family, don’t worry. There are plenty of good dog training books that will make the process of training your puppy easier, especially if you are a first-time owner.
In these books, you will learn everything you need to know about training, raising, and caring for your dog. Among other things, you will learn how to choose the right puppy, which training techniques work best, how to select the right supplies, where to find the best veterinary clinics, and how to choose the right food.
Medical costs
According to most recognized veterinarians, the medical costs for this breed should be approximately €150-300 for the first year of life and around €100-150 each year thereafter. Additionally, there may be a one-time fee of €50 to €300 if you want to spay/neuter your puppy.
And once again, we must mention that these figures vary depending on where you live and are heavily influenced by the clinics available to you.
Veterinary costs for a Cockapoo puppy
Every visit to the veterinarian costs money. Your puppy must visit the vet at least once during the first year for its 3rd vaccination. And if you take your dog abroad on vacation, your dog will also need a rabies vaccination.
Some veterinarians will have you come back a few weeks later for a booster shot.
A vet usually charges between €50 and €150 for a visit including vaccination. If the vet has you come twice, that totals between €100 and €300.
But veterinary costs can add up. If you happen to have chosen an unhealthy puppy, it may be necessary for your puppy to receive additional care.
A surgery can range from several hundred to several thousand euros. It is recommended to take out a dog insurance for your dog. This way you can be sure you can continue to afford your dog’s medical expenses.
Veterinary costs for an adult Cockapoo
Every year after your Cockapoo’s first puppy year, you should visit the vet at least once annually. Usually, these yearly visits cost between €75 and €200, depending on the clinic available to you and the location.
This vet visit includes keeping your dog’s vaccinations up to date and a general health check of your dog.
If your dog needs medication or flea treatment, the price may be slightly higher than previously mentioned.
The cost of pet insurance
As a dog owner, you might consider registering your puppy for health insurance as a safety net against unexpected expenses. This will make budgeting much easier.
You should expect a monthly insurance cost between 15 and 50 euros depending on the breed, age, etc.
Feeding costs
Cockapoos are certainly not the largest dogs you’ll come across. As adults, they weigh on average 10 kilograms (usually between 6 and 12 kilograms).
After reviewing prices of best-selling Cockapoo food brands such as Purina, Purina One, Royal Canin, and Pro Plan, we estimated that the cost to feed a puppy of this breed during its first year of life will average €125.
Adult Cockapoos typically have an annual food expense averaging €150. Keep in mind there is a huge cost difference between premium and budget dog food brands.
