Dog Food for Goldendoodles
The Goldendoodle, a cross between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle, has become one of America's favorite family dogs. Goldendoodles are friendly, social, and eager to please, and they come in a wide range of sizes: minis usually weigh 15 to 35 lb, mediums 35 to 50 lb, and standards 50 to 90 lb. Their coats range from flat to wavy to tightly curled, and most need professional grooming every six to eight weeks.
Goldendoodle owners tend to ask us about the same things: keeping that coat healthy, calming sensitive skin and stomachs, and feeding a fast-growing puppy the right way. Your Best Friend was built around exactly those concerns.
Why Your Best Friend fits Goldendoodles
Heart health, with Golden heritage in mind
Golden Retrievers, half of every Goldendoodle, 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
A Goldendoodle's coat never stops growing. Omega-3 fatty acids (1.5% min), zinc, vitamin E (400 IU/kg min), and biotin support healthy skin and a soft, shiny coat between grooming appointments.
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.
Right for growing standards
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, so it's easier not to overfeed a growing puppy.
How much to feed a Goldendoodle
These are starting points for an average adult with a normal activity level. Adjust up or down to keep your dog lean: you should be able to feel the ribs easily under the coat.
| Adult weight | Cups per day | A 28 lb bag lasts about |
|---|---|---|
| 25 lb (mini) | 1¾ | 10 weeks |
| 35 lb | 2¼ | 7½ weeks |
| 50 lb (medium) | 3 | 5½ weeks |
| 70 lb (standard) | 4 | 4 weeks |
| 90 lb (large standard) | 4¾ | 3½ 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.
