Dog Food for Labradoodles
The Labradoodle, a Labrador Retriever crossed with a Poodle, was first bred in Australia in the late 1980s as a guide dog for people with allergies. Today it's one of the most popular family dogs around: playful, smart, and endlessly friendly. Labradoodles usually come in three sizes: minis at 15 to 25 lb, mediums at 30 to 45 lb, and standards at 50 to 65 lb, with coats that range from wavy fleece to tight curls.
Labradoodles inherit the Labrador's legendary appetite, so portion control matters as much as what's in the bowl. They also share the doodle coat and, often, a sensitive stomach.
Why Your Best Friend fits Labradoodles
Easier to keep them lean
At a moderate 385 calories per cup, a measured portion goes further than with calorie-dense foods, which helps food-loving Labradoodles stay at a healthy weight. Staying lean is one of the best things you can do for any dog's joints.
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 soft, full 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.
One food for life
Formulated to AAFCO's All Life Stages standard, including growth of large-size dogs, with guaranteed taurine and L-Carnitine for heart health. No switching foods as your puppy grows up.
How much to feed a Labradoodle
These are starting points for an average adult with a normal activity level. Labradoodles will happily eat more than they need, so measure every meal and adjust to keep the ribs easy to feel 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 |
| 45 lb (medium) | 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.
