Do Peekapoos shed a lot?
Very Low

How often should you groom your Peekapoo?
45 mins/week

Moderate

When do Peekapoos usually stop growing?
10-12 months
Belgian Sheepdogs typically reach their full adult height by 12 to 18 months of age. However, they may continue to fill out, gain muscle mass, and develop their full adult coat until they are around two to three years old.
How much should a Peekapoo eat?
2-3 cups
Adult Peekapoos typically need about 0.5 to 1 cup of quality small-breed dry food a day, split into two meals, depending on size and activity level. Because this toy hybrid is prone to weight gain, measured portions matter more than free-feeding.
