Dog Food for Irish Doodles
The Irish Doodle crosses the Irish Setter with the Poodle, bringing together the Setter's sunny, playful personality and the Poodle's smarts. Many Irish Doodles have the Setter's gorgeous red coloring in a wavy or curly coat. Standards usually weigh 40 to 70 lb, and minis 25 to 40 lb.
Irish Doodles are active, social dogs, so owners look for steady energy, coat support, and easy digestion.
Why Your Best Friend fits Irish Doodles
Skin and coat support
Omega-3 fatty acids (1.5% min), zinc, vitamin E (400 IU/kg min), and biotin support healthy skin and a rich, wavy coat.
Steady energy
27% protein and 15% fat (minimums) from salmon and fish, with ancient grains for digestible, lasting energy for an outgoing, active dog.
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. Calcium is held mid-range (about 1.5% on a dry-matter basis, well inside AAFCO's limit for large-breed puppies), and a moderate 385 calories per cup makes steady growth easier to manage.
How much to feed an Irish Doodle
These are starting points for an average adult with a normal activity level. Adjust 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 |
| 45 lb | 2¾ | 6 weeks |
| 65 lb (standard) | 3¾ | 4½ 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.
