Feeding

# Feeding your Goldendoodle well

United States

The Goldendoodle needs a complete, balanced diet rich in good-quality animal proteins, with intakes adapted to its age, size and activity level. As it can be greedy, regular meals and portion control are essential.

A menu for every age

## Their needs change as they grow

- Puppy: Choose a complete growth diet and split meals into several daily servings to support development without excess.
- Adult: Adjust the ration to weight, activity and body condition in order to maintain proper muscle mass without excess weight.
- Senior: Reassess energy intake, digestibility and joint support with the veterinarian when activity decreases with age.

Which food?

## Kibble, wet food, or homemade meals?

Kibble or a complete ration of good quality, formulated for a medium to large-sized dog and adapted to the life stage, generally work well. The specific choice must take into account age, weight, activity, possible neutering/spaying and any digestive sensitivities.

Portion sizes

## How much should you feed?

The daily amount varies according to actual weight, the energy density of the food and the level of exercise. It is preferable to rely on the manufacturer's recommendations and then adjust with the veterinarian according to the dog's body condition.

| Weight | Daily amount | Meals per day |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 16 - 19 kg | 310 - 425 g | 2 |
| 19 - 22 kg | 327 - 449 g | 2 |
| 22 - 25 kg | 369 - 506 g | 2 |

Changing food

## How to switch foods successfully

Any change in diet must be gradual over several days in order to limit digestive upsets. A gentle transition makes it possible to observe the dog's tolerance and to adjust the portions or the formula if necessary.

Hydration

## Don't overlook water

Clean, fresh water must be available at all times, especially after exercise, in hot weather and when feeding dry food. Good hydration contributes to digestive comfort and recovery.

A little extra

## Treats in moderation

Treats can be useful for training and motivation, provided they remain occasional and are included in the total daily ration. It is better to favor simple, easily digestible rewards to avoid excess calories.

Good habits

## Make mealtimes count

- Weigh portions rather than estimating them by eye.
- Include treats in the daily calorie intake.
- Maintain regular mealtimes.
- Adjust the diet to changes in weight and activity level.

### Never feed these foods

As with other dogs, it is necessary to avoid in particular chocolate, grapes, onions, garlic, alcohol, xylitol, cooked bones and very fatty or very salty foods, as they can cause digestive, neurological, kidney disorders or severe poisoning.
