Dog Food for Saint Berdoodles
The Saint Berdoodle crosses the Saint Bernard with the Poodle, creating a big, goofy, affectionate dog with a teddy-bear look. Standard Saint Berdoodles can weigh 110 lb or more, while minis are closer to 40 to 60 lb. Coats are typically wavy to curly and need regular grooming.
With giant-breed parentage, careful puppy growth is the most important thing to get right.
Why Your Best Friend fits Saint Berdoodles
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.
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 thick, cuddly 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.
Heart health, guaranteed
Guaranteed taurine (0.10% min) and L-Carnitine (300 mg/kg min), in one formula from puppyhood through the senior years.
How much to feed a Saint Berdoodle
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 |
|---|---|---|
| 50 lb (mini) | 3 | 5½ weeks |
| 110 lb | 5½ | 3 weeks |
| 150 lb | 7 | 2½ weeks |
Feeding tips for big, deep-chested dogs
Large, deep-chested dogs like Saint Berdoodles can be prone to bloat. Many vets recommend splitting food into two or more meals a day and avoiding hard exercise right before and after eating. For dogs over about 90 lb, many owners choose two bags per delivery. 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.
