Dog Food for Golden Retrievers
The Golden Retriever was developed in the Scottish Highlands in the 1800s to retrieve game from water and rough country. Today it's one of the most beloved family dogs in America: gentle, patient, eager to please, and happiest with a job or a ball to chase. Goldens usually weigh 55 to 75 lb and wear a dense, water-repellent double coat that sheds year-round.
Golden owners pay close attention to three things: heart health, itchy skin, and raising a large-breed puppy well. Goldens are also the parent breed behind every Goldendoodle.
Why Your Best Friend fits Golden Retrievers
Heart health, guaranteed
Golden Retrievers have been a focus of veterinary research into diet and taurine-related heart health. Our recipe guarantees taurine (0.10% min) and L-Carnitine (300 mg/kg min), well above what many premium brands guarantee.
Skin and coat support
Omega-3 fatty acids (1.5% min), zinc, vitamin E (400 IU/kg min), and biotin support healthy skin under that thick double coat.
Gentle on sensitive stomachs
Salmon and fish are the protein, with no chicken, corn, wheat, or soy, plus pre-, pro-, and postbiotics for steady digestion.
Built for large-breed growth
Formulated to AAFCO's All Life Stages standard, including growth of large-size dogs, with calcium held mid-range and a moderate 385 calories per cup.
How much to feed a Golden Retriever
These are starting points for an average adult with a normal activity level. Goldens love to eat, so measure meals and adjust to keep the ribs easy to feel.
| Adult weight | Cups per day | A 28 lb bag lasts about |
|---|---|---|
| 55 lb | 3¼ | 5 weeks |
| 65 lb | 3¾ | 4½ weeks |
| 75 lb | 4 | 4 weeks |
Puppies need more food per pound than adults, so split their daily amount into three or four meals. Your vet can help you fine-tune portions as your puppy grows.
