FAMILY-RAISED IN HOME · DELIVERED TO DELAWARE
Delaware became the tenth state to end pet store puppy sales in 2026, and HonestPet is built for what comes next: vetted breeders who raise Cavapoos in their homes, parent health records you can read, and free ground delivery to any Delaware address, from a Trolley Square rowhome to a Middletown two-story to a beach house in Lewes.
Health-tested parents · 10-year health guarantee · Free ground delivery to Delaware.
THE HONESTPET DIFFERENCE
Buying a puppy online takes trust. Here's what you can count on when you work with us.
Our breeders raise litters inside their own homes, not kennel buildings. Puppies that have already lived with kids, doorbells, and a dishwasher running settle in quickly, whether they're moving into a Hockessin colonial, a Newark townhouse, or a house in a 55-plus community outside Rehoboth.
Our breeders begin Early Neurological Stimulation when puppies are three days old and follow Puppy Culture practices until they’re ready to join their new families. Short, gentle daily handling helps puppies become more comfortable with new experiences as they grow.
Most of our puppies’ parents are DNA tested. Each puppy’s listing identifies the DNA testing status of both mom and dad, so you can review this information before choosing your puppy.
We'll tell you which puppy fits your life, even if it isn't the one you first picked. A calm pup for a Riverfront condo in Wilmington, a bolder one for a Bear family with a fenced yard and three kids.
Every puppy comes with a 10-year genetic health guarantee and a digital copy of their vet and vaccine records.
Message our Care360 Team at 10 weeks or 10 years. We stay in touch with our families for the life of the dog.
STATEWIDE DELIVERY
HonestPet puppies come from vetted home breeders, never pet stores or brokers. Delaware is a short drive for us, so free ground delivery to your door is the easy choice; a flight nanny into Philadelphia, BWI, or Salisbury is available if you'd prefer.

A Cavapoo is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel crossed with a Poodle: the Cavalier's gentle, people-first personality and the Poodle's intelligence and low-shedding coat. They're sized for a Wilmington rowhome or a Sussex County retirement community, they're easy in the car for the drive to the beach, and they handle Delaware's humid summers and mild winters without much fuss.
Most of our Cavapoos finish between 10 and 23 pounds. That's within the pet weight limits many Delaware condo associations and 55-plus communities set, and small enough to ride along in a golf cart or a beach wagon.
Their wavy or curly coats shed very little. No dog is fully hypoallergenic, but many people with mild allergies live comfortably with a Cavapoo.
Cavapoos are patient and gentle, which is why so many families with young children choose them. Supervised play is still a must.
Poodle smarts plus a real wish to please. Short, consistent sessions go a long way with potty training and basic manners.
Cavapoos are content with a couple of walks and some play. In August, walk early and late; the rest of the year they'll happily join you at Brandywine Creek State Park, on the Wilmington Riverwalk, or on the Rehoboth boardwalk in the off-season, when dogs are welcome. Lyme is common across Delaware, so check for ticks after any time in tall grass.
Cavapoos want to be wherever you are. They're a great fit for work-from-home schedules. If you're gone 10 hours a day, plan on a dog walker.

Your puppy arrives as early as 8 weeks old with their digital records, a starter bag of food, and a blanket that smells like their littermates.
GETTING YOUR PUPPY HOME
Nearly all Delaware families take our free ground delivery, which brings your puppy to your door in a climate-controlled vehicle. If you'd rather fly, a flight nanny can carry your puppy in the cabin to one of three airports serving Delaware. Our team sets the date with you and keeps you posted until your puppy is home.
Ground delivery is the natural choice for Delaware. It's a short trip for us, and puppies ride in a climate-controlled vehicle with water and potty stops along the way. Cavapoos are easygoing travelers, and most doze through Route 1 and wake up ready to meet you.
Prefer to meet first? When the breeder's location and schedule allow, HonestPet can arrange an in-person visit so you can meet your puppy before delivery to Delaware.
A flat $799 to any airport we serve for Delaware. Your puppy flies in the cabin with the nanny, never in cargo, and the nanny hands them to you at arrivals.

HEALTH FIRST
Cavaliers and Poodles each have known inherited health risks, which is why we’re working toward having all of our breeders complete genetic screening for the conditions most relevant to the Cavapoo breed. Testing varies by parent; ask to review available results for the parents of any puppy you’re considering.
A Cavalier condition that shows up in a puppy's first weeks. Affected puppies can't make normal tears and develop a rough coat, flaky skin, and cracked, sore paw pads. It's only a risk when both parents have Cavalier ancestry, as in F2 and multigeneration Cavapoos.
A slow spinal cord disease that usually doesn't appear until later in life, often after age 8. It starts with wobbly, dragging back legs and gradually leads to hind-end weakness. It isn't painful, but there's no cure, so testing the parents is the best protection.
Another Cavalier condition. When an affected dog gets excited, stressed, or exercises hard, its muscles stiffen and it may freeze mid-step or fall over. The dog stays fully awake through each episode. Signs usually start before the first birthday.
A Poodle condition that affects newborns. Affected puppies are born small and weak, have trouble with balance, and often develop seizures. Because they rarely survive their first few weeks, this test is about pairing parents so no puppy is born with it.
One of the more common inherited conditions in Toy and Miniature Poodles. The retina slowly breaks down, starting with night blindness in adulthood and often leading to full blindness. It isn't painful and most dogs adjust well, but the vision loss can't be reversed.
A bleeding disorder where blood doesn't clot as well as it should. Many dogs with it live normal lives, but they can bleed longer after surgery, an injury, or losing baby teeth. Knowing the parents' results helps your vet plan ahead for spay or neuter.
Before any puppy leaves for Delaware, a licensed vet performs a full nose-to-tail exam: heart and lungs, eyes, ears, teeth, skin, and a check for hernias. The vet issues a health certificate for interstate travel, and a copy of the exam goes into the puppy's digital records for your Delaware vet.
Each puppy is current on core vaccines for their age and has been dewormed on a regular schedule since their first weeks. Your vet will finish the series, including the rabies vaccine Delaware requires for every dog, which you'll need for the statewide dog license at 6 months. Lyme and heartworm are both common in Delaware, so we recommend starting prevention at your first visit. Every puppy is microchipped, and we'll help you register the chip in your name.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Our Cavapoo puppies are $2,500 to $6,000, depending on size, coat, and color. The price of each puppy includes vaccinations, deworming, a microchip, a vet exam, lifetime training and support, a digital copy of their records, and free ground delivery to your home.
Yes. Nearly all families choose free ground delivery straight to their door. Flight nanny delivery is also available to the airports serving Delaware, including Philadelphia for New Castle County, BWI for Kent County, and Salisbury for the beaches, depending on route and availability.
While no dog is 100% hypoallergenic, Cavapoos are known for their low-shedding coats and can be a good choice for some families with mild dog allergies. How much a Cavapoo sheds can vary based on their individual coat genetics and generation, with some puppies inheriting more of the Poodle’s low-shedding coat characteristics. If allergies or shedding are a concern, review each puppy’s generation and coat type, and talk with our team about which available Cavapoo may be the best fit for your family.
Most Cavapoos weigh 10 to 23 pounds and stand 9 to 14 inches tall as adults. Size depends mostly on the Poodle parent. We list an estimated adult weight for every puppy we have available.
Your puppy comes home with a starter bag of food, a blanket that smells like their littermates, a toy, microchip details, and a digital copy of their vet and vaccine records.
Pick an available puppy then send us an inquiry. After we talk, a $349 deposit holds your puppy. The balance is due before go-home day.
We’re working toward having every parent DNA tested and screened for relevant heart, knee, and eye conditions before breeding. Every puppy also receives a veterinary exam, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, and a microchip before going home. Available parent health and genetic testing results can be viewed on our Parents page.
Each breeder may have a different preferred puppy food, so we provide the specific brand and formula your puppy is currently eating to help make the transition to your home as smooth as possible. If you decide to switch foods, we recommend transitioning gradually to help avoid digestive upset.
Our puppies go home at 8 weeks old.

DELAWARE QUESTIONS
What Delaware families ask us most, from the new pet store law to the statewide dog license and beach rules.
Not anymore. In 2026, Delaware became the tenth state to pass a law ending the sale of commercially bred dogs and cats in pet stores, so as it takes effect, a breeder-raised Cavapoo can't come from a store. HonestPet is not a pet store. We connect Delaware families directly with vetted home breeders, share each puppy's parent health testing, and coordinate delivery to your door.
For most people, yes, on both counts. Cavapoos are small, fairly quiet, and don't need a yard, so they suit a Riverfront apartment in Wilmington as well as a villa in a 55-plus community near Rehoboth. Check your lease or association rules for weight limits and pet fees, which most Sussex County communities have, and plan on a few walks a day. They're just as happy in a Middletown house with a fenced yard.
Yes. Delaware is one of the few states with a single statewide dog license, issued through the Office of Animal Welfare, and it's required for every dog 6 months and older. You'll need a current rabies certificate to apply, and you can buy one-year or multi-year licenses online, with lower fees for spayed and neutered dogs.
Once you reserve your puppy, HonestPet schedules the trip from the breeder's home to yours. Your puppy gets a final vet exam and a travel health certificate, then rides to Delaware in a climate-controlled delivery vehicle or in the cabin with a flight nanny to Philadelphia or the airport nearest you. We confirm the timing with you and keep you updated.
Flights serving Delaware are short, usually 1 to 2 hours, depending on where the breeder is located. Your puppy stays with the flight nanny the entire time and rides in the cabin, never in cargo. For most families, ground delivery is just as fast door to door.
Sometimes, yes. When the breeder's location and schedule allow, HonestPet can set up an in-person visit so you can meet your puppy before delivery. Because our breeders are located in different areas and we protect their privacy, visits are arranged one family at a time rather than offered as open appointments.
Call us with questions about any puppy, delivery to Delaware, or which Cavapoo would suit your home. We'll set up a video call so you can meet your puppy before you decide.
