We fell in love with Doodles when our son raised a puppy to be a future service dog and we wanted to do more. You can read more about how we began this journey by reading Our Story below. We understand how difficult it can be to identify reputable breeders from the puppy mills and online brokers, so we have partnered with TellTail. Feel free to click the TellTail badge to verify our ID and confirm our identity. We are also happy to connect by phone so you can feel comfortable in who you are choosing to raise your future family. Our Story My husband and I have been married 30 years and have two sons. Over a dozen years ago, we fell in love with Doodles when our youngest son raised a Doodle puppy to be a future service dog as part of his Eagle Scout Project. In the blink of an eye, we welcomed Luke, a shaggy doodle puppy into our home and hearts and my son spent a year taking this sweet boy with us everywhere. This was our introduction to Doodles and we were smitten - low shedding, low allergen, affectionate and Muppet cute. We set about learning all we could about responsible breeding practices, canine health and longevity, canine genetics, inheritable diseases and their prevention and very importantly the best methods of puppy raising to shape future temperament. During our deep dive into all things Doodle, we considered many breeds, including Goldendoodles and Labradoodles. We wanted a medium size since not all veterans had large homes and yards. We prioritized health, trainability, intelligence and friendliness. And of course we needed to ensure we had the low allergen, low shedding qualities that would make them easy to live with and take into restaurants and retail establishments. We loved the Goldendoodle puppy we raised, but his energy level was high and Goldens and Labs are know for maturing slowly, essentially staying a puppy until they are a year or two years old. It was essential to us to include a working breed that comes into their brains quickly as this would be an important trait for a service dog. And knowing what traits were important for a service dog, meant they would then also be excellent for therapy work and as family companions. So we began our program with Australian Mountain Doodles at the time, we called them Aussie Bernedoodles , as well as Bernedoodles and Aussiedoodles. To my knowledge, we were the first to do the Aussie Bernedoodle cross which combines the good natured, calm and strong attributes of the Bernese Mountain Dog, the smart, work-oriented Australian Shepherd and of course the versatile, intelligent, low shedding, low allergen Poodle. We consider ourselves fortunate to have been raising these amazing Doodles in Southern California since .In , we made the decision with extended family to re-locate my parents and ourselves in order to be more present in their later years. So we rounded up the Doodles and my coffee pot okay there was a lot more involved but those were essential and made the transition to the Oregon Coast where we continue to raise healthy, affectionate, family-friendly, hypo-allergenic Bernedoodles and Australian Mountain Doodles. This is a family affair and we are devoted to our Doodles full time. This means no vacations, no out of town weddings, no being away for more than a few hours and every day begins and ends with their needs being put first. It takes a huge commitment and a lot of passion to devote ourselves so entirely to placing healthy, happy puppies with new families. We are always evaluating, refining and striving to improve our program. We try to do what is best for our dogs and future puppy owners while trying to maintain a balance with our family. Below are some photos from a trip to Knotts Berry Farm with the Doodle that started it all. We would like to see every family pet come from a responsible source. If you truly love dogs and want the best for all canines, you should also support the idea of responsible breeding. If the only dogs you deem acceptable are the messes made by irresponsible breeding or negligence, purchased through the proxy of rescue, and you demonize the practice of breeding or the expansion of healthier hybrids, then what you are saying is that the only dogs that should have a place in this world are those bred irresponsibly. Better breeding goes hand in hand with responsible rescue. The critical window to set puppies up for good adult behavior is when they are weeks of age with being the most critical. Our puppies are raised in a loving environment and from healthy, happy parents who were genetically tested to be free of common issues so they can live long, happy lives with their people. We take great care, raising each puppy to ensure they are well-rounded and prepared for their new life with you. When making decisions about our breeding programs, we prioritize the physical and emotional health, and well-being of our breeding dogs above all else. Healthy, happy moms make for healthy, happy puppies. We ensure the moms feel loved and cared for so that they in turn are excellent tenders of their puppies. The puppies are held everyday and weight checks are done regularly to ensure they are gaining weight and thriving. Every puppy in addition to mom is loved on and nurtured every day. We follow and utilize three methods of early neurological stimulation and handling for our puppies, timed to coincide with specific periods in the puppies life where they are most receptive to it. This method utilizes tactile and thermal stimulation and 3 positioning exercises, done once daily when the puppies are days old. When puppies receive consistent, non-traumatic handling, they become more outgoing and friendly and show less inclination to be fearful when they are older. This encourages the puppies development into an emotionally balanced mature dog and ultimately a better family companion for you. Puppy Culture is a comprehensive guide as to what can be done with and for puppies at each point in their development to ensure the best possible outcome for the puppy. It's a "how to" on raising confident, happy puppies, using early neurological stimulation, enrichment and resiliency exercises to encourage the best out of each puppy at each stage of its development. Puppy Culture utilizes clicker training however we believe the doodle breeds we are raising are easily motivated with treat training and rely on that method instead. So many breeders underestimate the role a good gut biome plays in the health of their breeding dogs. What mom is eating while pregnant and lactating, passes to the puppies and affects their health as well. This is huge! The fact that breeders have the ability to influence the health of their puppies into adulthood for their future families is a game changer. We feed a nutrient-dense, biologically appropriate food to our dams and sires. We include prebiotics, probiotics, digestive enzymes, goats milk, fresh foods and veggies and no inflammatory grains or excess carbohydrates. We raise chickens and ducks using fermented organic feed, sprouted barley and fresh scraps from our garden so our canines have the very best natural eggs for their meals. We rotate proteins and products, including raw, lightly cooked, freeze-dried, air-dried and a small amount of Farmina kibble in different varieties. All of this is done to support their gut, skin and coat health. We believe in the most natural approach possible. We use no pesticides around our home, We exercise great caution to only use necessary deworming protocols and minimize toxic chemicals on and around our dogs. Protecting their immune system improves gut health and consequently the health of their future puppies. We ensure our adults and puppies lead happy lives. Some of our pack live with different family members so we still have great influence on their condition, feeding and vet care. I groom them at my home so they regularly visit and hang out. A few live in local guardian homes that we trust. They whelp and raise their puppies in our home. They love and trust us and are comfortable going through such a momentous and emotional time as childbirth with us close by. I cannot emphasize enough how stress on mom channels as stress in the puppies and can influence their future personalities. Happy moms make happy puppies.

The health and smarts of the Australian Shepherd, the sweet and gentle nature of the Bernese, plus the allergy friendly properties and longevity of the Standard Poodle! Our goal for our Australian Mountain Doodles is to create a lower energy Aussiedoodle while improving the lifespan of the Bernedoodle side, thus enhancing the main trait that the other breed lacks. Can't decide between the Aussiedoodle or Bernedoodle? Consider the Australian Mountain Doodle where you get the qualities of the Aussiedoodle and Bernedoodle that we love all in one package! We were one of the very first breeders to intentionally produce this unique cross! Our idea for mixing the Australian Shepherd, Bernese, and Poodle stemmed in early when we brought home Ozzy, our first F1 Aussiedoodle male and shortly after our very first F1 Bernedoodle female, Zoey. We fell completely in love with the personalities and characteristics that both breeds had to offer and thought how wonderful this mix would be combined together. Our goal was to create the perfect family dog that not only had a longer lifespan, but also had an energy level that would be ideal for the average household. We wanted the smarts, willingness to please, athletic Australian Shepherd heritage to round out and compliment the easy going, gentle nature and lovable Bernese Mountain Dog that everyone adores. Combined with the stellar temperament, loyalty and coat traits derived from the Poodle we knew this would be one extraordinary cross! Over the course of two years we then sought out the perfect pairing to produce our first F1 generation Australian Mountain Doodle litter in .We truly hit the Jackpot with our first litter from Willow and Jack! We are now working towards perfecting a Multigen Australian Mountain Doodle line and hope to continue to spread the word about our newfound love, the AMD!

First and foremost, you want to give your dog or puppy something safe. Otherwise, it can be unhealthy for them or even worse, dangerous. If you follow the tips listed below, it should help you find something perfect for them in the end. As tempting as it may be, never give your dog bones that are cooked. When considering store-bought bones for your dog, you should check with your vet first to make sure they are the right ones after all. If you choose rawhide bones, make sure there are no additives, preservatives, gelatin, or artificial sweeteners. Make sure the bones are all-natural. Feel free to give your dogs raw bones made of chicken, lamb, turkey, or beef. You should always give your dog a bone only after a meal, and your dog should never be given pork or rib bones. Finally, always give your dog a bone that is longer than its muzzle to make extra-sure your dog is safe. These bones are perfect for German shepherds because they are durable, safe, and last a long time. They also come in a variety of flavors that will keep your dog coming back for more. Related Questions 1. Can German Shepherds Chew on Bones? Yes, and the best bones for German shepherd dogs and puppies are either natural or synthetic bone chews. Can Dogs Digest Cooked Bones?

If you have any questions or concerns, always feel free to consult with your vet before providing bones to your dog. Why Trust Us? At TrainYourGsd. Related posts:.

Giving your German Shepherd a bone can be safe if you take the proper precautions. However anytime you give a dog a bone there is a risk involved. Here are the risks of giving your German Shepherd a bone: Blockage Fragments of bone can become stuck in the small intestines resulting in a blockage. Surgery may be required to remove them. They can also pierce the wall of the intestine causing Peritonitis. Parts of the bone can also make there way all the way down the GI tract to the large colon. They can collect there, causing constipation and severe discomfort. The resulting trauma can cause bleeding in the rectal area. The vet may have to use an enema or manipulate the bowel to remove the fragments. Bone stuck in the stomach If a piece of bone is too large, it may be unable to make its way out of the stomach. This can result in abdominal surgery or an endoscopy to remove the bone fragment. This can cause an infection referred to as Peritonitis which can be fatal. Cracked Teeth Dogs can crack their teeth chewing on a hard bone such as a store bought cooked bone.

German Shepherd feet come in a variety of sizes and shapes, and even have their own set of paw problems. The SV standards state that the German Shepherd paws are rounded, short, well-closed and arched. The pads are very hard, but not chapped or too rough. The nails are dark, short, and strong. Dewclaws may appear sometimes on the hind legs and are removed during the first few days after birth. Nails are short and dark. Dewclaws on the forelegs may be removed, but are normally left on and accepted. The dewclaws, if any, should be removed from the hind legs. Pads well-cushioned and durable. With short nails, strong and dark in color. Dewclaws are removed from the hindlegs. German Shepherd paws come in three basic shapes: cat shape hare shape webbed feet Each shape is suited to particular tasks and ground. Cat feet The cat-shaped foot is small and has a compact, round form. It is built for balance, endurance, and strength. Hare feet While the cat-shaped foot is compact, a hare-footed dog has two elongated central toes that project out from the rest of the paw. This style of foot is intended for speed and quick movement, especially out of a relaxing position. The elongated toes help propel the body forward with quickness and agility, much like the feet of hares or rabbits. Dog breeds with hare feet include the Whippet, Greyhound, and Borzoi. Webbed feet Webbed footed dogs are those built for swimming, but they are similarily proficient on land and especially boggy or slippery surfaces. Many hunting breeds have webbed feet, for example, the Weimaraner, Portuguese Water Dog, and Labrador Retriever which are all hunting breeds. These German Shepherds have long middle toes hare feet shape and the feet on the right have thick pads. These pads provide them with extra cushioning to protect their bones and joints from the shock of running. The pads also provide insulation from weather extremes and aid in walking on rough surfaces like concrete, rocky ground, or asphalt. The Purpose of the Paw The paw pad is made of keratin, collagen, and fatty tissues to serve a number of useful functions. And the pad supports a GSD with balance, decreasing speed, and quick stopping. Here we see the underside of the paw and the dark paw pad. This is a normal, healthy paw pad. Notice the roughed skin? The thick, coarse tissues that form the paw pads do not freeze as quickly or easily as normal skin, so they are able to withstand freezing temperatures for longer periods but only when necessary. The paws are covered in thick, tough skin that feels like sandpaper when rubbed against the grain of their skin. For working breeds, like the German Shepherd Dog, or dogs that spend much of their time outdoors or on rough ground, the paw pads become calloused and coarse. As the dog develops, their paw pads also become highly perceptive and flexible to the ground beneath their feet, which is why you rarely see a German Shepherd lose their footing and slip. Some owners state their German Shepherd has long feet and long toes, for example, the hare foot type we discussed earlier. Furthermore, each type of foot style gives the German Shepherd an advantage. Take a look at these different feet types. The breed information tells us that shorter, more compact feet are the Standard for German Shepherd Dogs, as this foot type provides the dog with better stability and a strong foundation for athletic abilities. Even the smallest cut or tiniest bit of debris can create a large problem for your dog. Here are a few tips for daily foot care and maintenance that are easy and prevent major foot problems from developing. Trim their nail regularly. Coat Hair Trim Some German Shepherds have longer coats and foot hair that sticks out between the toes. Shorter fur is less likely to collect stickers and rocks. Check Between the Toes Check between the toes for any debris, such as rocks, caked-on mud or twigs. Any debris stuck in the toe area can cause discomfort or skin irritation. Remove the debris with a warm cloth and soapy water. Reapply, especially after walking in the snow, on the blacktop, or rocky ground. First Aid Treatment Have supplies on hand for any minor first aid treatment. Wounds, cuts, and abrasions smaller than half an inch are generally treated at home with a mild antibacterial cleanser and a wrap. And taking care of their paws is a routine and easy task that you can do daily. Common causes of foot sensitivity include: running too often on hard or hot surfaces, unclipped fur between the toe pads which snags irritating objects, and overgrown, painful nails. You can prevent paw sensitivity by taking simple precautions. That means YOU are responsible for their feet and you must stay alert to problems before they need serious medical attention.

Aug 9, Share Nearly all dogs have a bit of skin between their toes in order to connect the paw together, giving the illusion of webbed feet. However, this bit of skin is rarely referred to as webbing, especially in the context of German Shepherds. So, German Shepherds do not have technically webbed feet, even though their toes are connected with extra skin. German Shepherd can have webbed feet, but this is not normal and should be examined by a vet. According to the American Kennel Club standard for German Shepherds, the breed is not known for having webbed feet. Although there is a bit of webbed skin that connects the paw together, the toes do not classify as being webbed. Image Credit: profcalamitous, Pixabay Breed Standards Although purebred German Shepherd breed standards do not apply to mixed breeds, the American Kennel Club does not reference webbed feet in German Shepherds at all, which means purebred German Shepherds do not have webbed feet. Instead, the American Kennel Club explains that German Shepherds have compact and short feet that include toes with a good arch. They go on to explain that German Shepherd dogs have thick and firm paw pads and short and dark nails. As you probably noticed, there is no mention of webbing, which means German Shepherds do not have webbed feet. That is not to say that it is impossible for German Shepherd to have webbed feet, it just means that the standard of the breed does not include webbing. If you look at your German Shepherd, you still may feel that your dog has a bit of webbing because of that extra flap of skin between each toe. Although nearly every dog has a bit of skin in this way, this skin does not create a true webbing on the German Shepherd. Instead, the skin simply connects the paw together so that it can act as one. In between each finger, you will notice excess skin that connects your fingers together. Although this excess skin exists, it can hardly be classified as being webbed. The German Shepherd paws are the same way. Even though German Shepherd breed standards do not include webbed feet in the description, it is possible for German Shepherds to have webbed feet. Irresponsible breeding or certain health conditions can cause German Shepherds and other non-webbed breeds to have webbed feet. Unfortunately, some German Shepherds with webbed feet have to get the webs removed surgically with the help of a veterinarian. Webbed feet can result in a number of long-term conditions for the German Shepherd, which is why they need to be removed. Before you start panicking, not all German Shepherds with webbed feet have to undergo surgical procedures. If you think that your German Shepherd has webbed feet, you should take it to the vet to get checked out. There is a chance that your German Shepherd may need to undergo surgery if it has webbed feet. Your vet should be able to determine if separating the webs is required for your dog. You might want to check up on the webbed feet every now and then and clean them. Yeast, bacteria, and mud can get caught in the web. Simply clean them out to keep your dog healthy and happy. Even though webbed feet are not normal in German Shepherds, there are some benefits to having webbed feet. Most notably, webbed feet help dogs to swim. Breeds that are known for their swimming abilities often have webbed feet because it helps push them forward in the water. Webbed feet can also help breeds walk faster across muddy land. The excess webbing allows the paws to have a larger surface area, which prevents the dog from sinking as easily as non-webbed varieties. Breeds that were bred to work on soft, muddy terrain are sometimes found with webbed feet for this reason. What Breeds Have Webbed Feet? Some of them are just as popular as a German Shepherd too! Here are some of the most common dogs that have webbed feet:. Regular paw care can prevent lots of the problems that lead to painful irritation, infection, itching, and reduction in their quality of life. Since dogs depend on their paws to get around, when they have problems, they can quickly become obsessive about their feet, leading to constant licking and chewing, which only makes the problem worse. Owners suffer when their dog is miserable and keeps them awake at night with their constant chewing, licking, and biting. Not to mention expensive vet bills. When checking their paws, be sure to check the sides and bottom of the pads for abrasions and splits, between the toes for foreign objects and unusual redness, and the nail length and condition. Hot asphalt can cause painful, devastating burns. However, freezing cold temperatures, ice treatments, salt, sand, and chemicals can also injure their pads. To help protect their paws, prevent your dog from walking on rough, hot or freezing surfaces or on harmful chemicals without protection, such as booties. If paws do get occasionally irritated due to weather extremes and unexpected events, the tips below can help heal them. When nails are too long, they can also cause tendon problems and reduce traction. Products such as these can give you peace of mind when cutting nails at home. You can sooth dryness, roughness, abrasions, minor cracks, irritation, hyperkeratosis, and even itchiness and dry elbows with a healing paw balm that contains natural butters and plant oils. Balms such as these also help keep paws healthy and skin flexible, thus less prone to minor injuries, cracks, and irritation. Paw Protection Booties or shoes are a great option when your dog will be walking on hot or super rough surfaces. However, when booties are too much but you want a little extra protection, a paw protection wax can protect paws from damage caused by abrasive surfaces, not overly hot or cold pavement, ice, and salt. It can also help sooth irritated paws and help heal sore feet. Grooming, regular nail trims, and intervening at the first sign of a problem will keep your pup happily zooming around and playing their favorite games. Please feel free to share these paw care tips with your family and friends. Depending on their genetics, diet, and environment, among a variety of other things, German Shepherds will be around 71 to 90 pounds. I used to have my dog checked over every month as a puppy. Suppose you are feeding your GSD dry kibble. To learn more about this topic, check out this article, Do German Shepherds need large breed food? However, for the most part, large paws mean that your dog will be higher in weight and height. This is simply because your larger-sized dog — such as a German Shepherd — needs paws that are large enough to support him. They would look ridiculous, right? Could you also imagine Chihuahua-sized feet on your German Shepherd puppy? I guess not — he would be falling all over the place! Dogs can grow at different speeds, and sometimes their paws may look disproportionate. Certainly not, as he may be about to go through a significant growth spurt. My female German Shepherd is a classic example of this. As an adult, she weighs a massive 88 pounds, and she is exceptionally tall, standing at 27 inches — she is therefore nicely proportioned. However, as you can see from the below pictures, her paws at both 8 and 11 weeks certainly do not appear overly big! At this time, they should be more proportionate and may give a bit more accuracy. Other Ways to Indicate Adult Size and Weight A straightforward way to predict how big your German Shepherd will be is to double his size once he has hit the week mark. Of course, your German Shepherd could be a bit larger than that actual calculation, seeing how many of them continue growing at a slower rate — between 18 months and sometimes up to 2 years old. Here are a few tips and tricks for guessing how big your German Shepherd puppy will end up as an adult: Look at the mom and dad. Even then, the puppy may end up with smaller-sized paws. Paws should not be the only thing to look at as an indicator of height and weight. Look at the skin and how loose it is. Generally, a puppy that has a lot of excess loose skin will have more room to grow. So, if your German Shepherd is a bit on the saggy side, it simply means he will be able to grow into his skin. Lots of loose skin can certainly mean you will have a larger German Shepherd. Use a calculator. They will ask a few simple questions, such as type of breed, how old they are, and how much they weighed at birth. So, are any of these methods accurate? You will need to go to the final paragraph to find the answer! Other Puppy Proportions Some breeds have pretty different proportions. At three months, the corgi pup weighs around 15 pounds. Then, at one year, they are about 25 pounds. These proportions are attributed to their short legs! The Corgi puppy has a lot less body to grow into than a German Shepherd puppy and a lot less leg, too! Because German Shepherds grow very quickly, their paws must adapt early to support them in their growth journey. Final Thoughts German Shepherd puppies have big paws because they are necessary to support this large breed as they grow older. You will need to use a combination of different methods to obtain a better estimate of how large your German Shepherd puppy will eventually be.

Not all mini Goldendoodles are equal, there are a few different versions to choose from each having a little different genetic background based on the pups parents. We will explain all the differences in Mini Goldendoodle puppies and how they are bred below. We raise all versions of the mini goldendoodle breed. F1 Mini Goldendoodle Pups. A F1 puppy is also known as a First Generation puppy. The puppies mother is a Golden Retriever and the pups dad is a Mini Poodle. This version of mini goldendoodle usually has soft wavy or curly puppy fur. They will shed until they lose their puppy fur, after shedding they will shed a lot less, but will shed. This version is partially hypoallergenic and usually requires low maintenance. F1 mini goldendoodles usually need to be groomed every 6 months along with daily brushing to keep their curly hair from matting and getting tangled. The dogs usually grow up having great temperaments similar to golden retrievers. They usually get about inches high at the shoulder and range in weight from pounds. F1b Mini Goldendoodle Pups. An F1b is known as a second-generation mini goldendoodle with the pups mother being already an F1 Goldendoodle and the pups dad being a mini poodle also. So the difference between F1 and F1b is that the mom is not a golden retriever but an actual F1 Goldendoodle. They also have very soft curly hair but with almost no shedding. This F1b version is semi-hypoallergenic and a better choice for anyone who has pet allergies. The F1b also should be brushed on a daily basis but will need to be groomed more frequently then a F1. A 6 to 8 week grooming schedule is recommended to keep their coat in perfect condition. F1b Mini goldendoodles get around 18 to 20 inches tall at the shoulders and range between pounds in weight. F1bb Mini Goldendoodle Pups. An F1bb goldendoodle is also known as a third-generation mini goldendoodle. This mini goldendoodle version has a coat more similar to a poodle than of a golden retriever. This is because the pup is more of a poodle than a retriever. Making it the very best version for anyone with pet allergies. A 6 to 8 week grooming schedule is required to help prevent knots or matting. This version is super intelligent and loving, and usually seems to have more energy than the other versions of Mini goldendoodles. This version is usually smaller in size, weighing around pounds and only getting inches tall at the shoulders. The smaller size makes them a great size for smaller homes and apartments.

These puppies are enormous and develop quickly, so you may be wondering how much to feed a Goldendoodle puppy. What is the recommended daily amount of food for a Goldendoodle puppy? Most Goldendoodle pups need to be fed anywhere from 2 to 4 times a day, with each feeding consisting of around a third of a cup to as much as four cups of food, although this varies greatly with age and size, and type. Puppies develop rapidly, thus their dietary needs, including the amount and frequency of their meals, evolve with them. Keep in mind that this is not a question with a universally correct answer. Also remember that Miniature, medium, and standard Goldendoodles will have different feeding needs. Goldendoodle Puppy Feeding Chart There is a lot of nuance involved in feeding a Goldendoodle puppy since their nutritional requirements change with their age, size, and degree of activity. To do so, just divide the weight in pounds by 2. With this method, you may roughly estimate how many calories your Goldendoodle need each day when at rest. Keep in mind that this is only a guideline. They need to be with the mother and the rest of the litter, putting on weight healthily. You should count on them sleeping for the most of the day and moving just for brief periods. The best way to get them adjusted to the new routine is to feed them three to four little meals a day, gradually increasing the quantity and lowering the wetness. You should begin by giving them a quarter to a half cup of a soft, moistened puppy chow every meal. You should modify the dose according to their weight and hunger levels. Reduce the quantity of food at first, and then gradually increase it to three or four small meals per day of dry puppy food. You can bank on them being a lot more self-reliant and inquisitive. Make the necessary adjustments according to their weight and degree of exercise. Give them lots of chances to play and interact with others, and take them on short walks. Goldendoodles are prone to becoming overweight, so watch how much food you give them. Choose a suitable quantity by considering their weight and degree of physical activity and breed size. Keep close track of their weight to determine the appropriate dosage. Make sure they have much to do physically and mentally to keep them from becoming bored and acting out. Learn the basics and begin interacting with others. Keep an eye out for symptoms of separation anxiety in your Goldendoodle. This depends on breed size. Keep up with their education and socializing, and give them plenty of chances to play and exercise. Pay attention to how active they are feeling and feed them appropriately. Never stop encouraging physical activity, intellectual challenge, and social interaction. Make necessary adjustments based on their weight gain or loss. To maintain their health and happiness, provide them frequent opportunities for physical activity, fun, and intellectual challenge. Inspect your Goldendoodle often for indications of joint pain. Taking them to the vet on a regular basis is crucial to maintaining their health. Understanding Goldendoodle Puppy Nutritional Needs Puppies of the goldendoodle breed should be fed a healthy, well-rounded diet to ensure their optimal development and growth. Depending on their age, height, and amount of activity, a Goldendoodle puppy typically needs to 1, calories per day. Keep in mind that there are three different sized Goldendoodles. The smaller dogs would thus consume much less food. They need to eat a balanced diet of nutritious proteins, fats, and complex carbs. Calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids are crucial for the healthy development of Goldendoodle pups. Healthy growth of bones, the immune system, and the brain all depend on these nutrients. To avoid obesity and encourage good digestion, pups should be given three to four modest meals each day rather than one or two big ones. This aids in controlling portion sizes and facilitating proper digestion. Because of their small stomachs, puppies need regular feedings to keep them energized and healthy. As your puppy gets older, you may cut down on the frequency of feedings and boost the amount of each meal. Kibble may aid in dental hygiene by scraping plaque and tartar off the teeth while the puppy eats. Picky eaters could be more enticed by wet food, and pups with dental issues or missing teeth might find it simpler to digest. In addition, you should make sure that the food is formulated for pups and prepared with high-quality components. Switching From Puppy Food To Adult Food Depending on their size and breed, you should transition your Goldendoodle puppy from puppy food to adult food between the ages of 12 and 18 months. You should start with a little quantity of adult food and puppy food mixed together, and then gradually increase the amount of adult food while lowering the amount of puppy food. This ease of adjustment may reduce digestive issues. When a Goldendoodle puppy stops eating, the first thing to do is to rule out any serious health problems. Feeding smaller meals more often, warming the food with water or chicken broth, or trying a new brand or taste of food are all options. Overfeeding, obesity, and gastrointestinal issues are all possible outcomes of free-feeding a Goldendoodle puppy. Because of their tiny stomachs, puppies need frequent feedings to keep them energized and promote their healthy development. Picky eating may be avoided and good eating habits can be established with a regular meal plan. Instead of two big meals, Goldendoodle pups should be fed three or four smaller meals a day. If you decide to free-feed your Goldendoodle puppy, keep careful tabs on how much they are eating so that you may alter their portions as they grow.

Introducing our tailored nutrition for medium breed puppies — a food designed to ensure your puppy receives the right amount of nutrients during their growth period. While free-feeding is generally okay when feeding your puppy, it is wise to introduce a feeding routine at around 13 weeks old. As for adult Goldendoodles, you can feed them one meal in the morning and another in the evening. This should be enough to make them feel full throughout the day. Senior Goldendoodles, on the other hand, can be fed once in the morning or once at night. If your dog still prefers two meals, you can feed them similarly as you would an adult. While on the topic of optimal feeding time, it is also important to know when to give treats to your dog. Usually, it is best to give treats to your pooch in between meals — not right before and not right after. Preferably, you should only use treats to reward your dog. In turn, this will also affect their potty schedule and interfere with the balanced diet they should be getting. Always remember that you can tweak these optimal feeding times so that it fits your lifestyle better. However, it is best to feed them around the same time each day. They love any food and can eat almost anything you serve. However, it is still essential to know the best foods to give your Goldendoodle. Providing the best kinds of food for your dog is not only good for their health, but it also helps preserve some of their best features, such as their hypoallergenic trait and calm disposition. Wet food is easier to chew than dry food and is suitable for dogs with weak teeth, senior dogs, sick dogs, or dehydrated dogs. Wet food is arguably the best puppy food. Its flavor and softness are excellent for developing teeth. Dry Food: Dry food or kibble is the most convenient food to serve your dog. In addition, dry food is also one of the best food choices for a Goldendoodle as it is excellent for their dental health. Dry food prevents tartar buildup and gum disease and promotes stronger teeth. Kibble is best for adult Goldendoodles as their teeth are as strong as it gets. Some ingredients you should look for when choosing kibble are chicken fat, flaxseed, omega-3, and meat protein. There are also grain-free options if your dog prefers those. This consists of raw meat, bones, fish meal, and a mix of fruits and vegetables. Feeding your Goldendoodle a raw diet reduces the use of commercial dog foods that have added preservatives and unhealthy processed foods. BARF diet has been proven to bring health benefits such as healthier and shinier skin and coat, good dental health, fewer ear infections, and less odor in Goldendoodles. Plus, Goldendoodles like the taste of raw food! Homemade Diet: A homemade diet is very much acceptable for Goldendoodles. They can thrive with this diet as long as proper nutrients are provided. Make sure to supply them with the six key nutrients a dog needs — protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and water. Preparing a homemade meal is also much cheaper. Moreover, it also gives you more control over what your dog consumes. Likewise, a Goldendoodle with an underlying health condition might be better off with a homemade diet. In addition, some Goldendoodles may benefit from specific kinds of foods or supplements that are tailored for their coat color. To learn more about Goldendoodle coat colors, read our comprehensive guide on the topic. On some occasions, the generation of a Goldendoodle can also affect the best diet for it. In conclusion, the best dog food is always on a case-to-case basis. Consult a vet if you want to be sure! These dogs are prone to bloating and often have different allergies to food. Certain foods cause pain, vomiting, and diarrhea in these dogs. Some of the most dangerous foods for your Goldendoodle are grapes, raisins, and prunes. These three foods contain an unknown toxic substance that can trigger major problems such as choking and kidney failure. Cherries are also notorious for your Goldendoodle. Its pits, seeds, stems, and leaves contain cyanide , a poisonous substance that can cause an upset stomach. Soda is not just unhealthy for humans but for dogs as well. The carbonation and sugar levels of soda can be hard for dogs to handle. It can cause dehydration, gastrointestinal problems, excessive flatulence , and diarrhea. Moreover, as we all know, chocolate is toxic to Goldendoodles. It contains a xanthine compound known as theobromine , which dogs cannot digest and metabolize. Needless to say, keep your Goldendoodle away from chocolate! But if your dog happens to consume chocolate and shows signs like vomiting, diarrhea, excessive urination, and increased heart rate, visit the nearest vet immediately. Onions and garlic should also be kept away from Goldendoodle because these contain a thiosulphate compound. This compound may cause discomfort, diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration, loss of appetite, and abdominal pain. Furthermore, any food with a high level of sugar and salt is bad for your Goldendoodle. Salty foods will dehydrate your dog, and excessively sweet foods can cause diabetes. It is a good habit to also check the sugar and salt levels of any food you give to your Goldendoodles. Other harmful foods are macadamia nuts, walnuts, raw or undercooked food, coffee, dairy products, citrus fruits, and avocados. Luckily for you, Goldendoodles are generally not picky eaters. The ideal time for the transitioning period is around 10 days. Do this until your Goldendoodle is comfortable enough to try completely new food. Refer to the table below for a more detailed breakdown of transitioning your dog to a new food: Day. Thanks to math of course! Yeah right, I used the calorie calculator. However, I have prepared a math formula for you guys. Weigh your Goldendoodle puppy and convert pounds into kilograms. This is called the resting energy requirement or RER for short. I honestly find this difficult and time consuming, so I stick to online dog calorie calculators. This is where you have to check the back of the dog food bag for the list of ingredients. You find yourself reading the ingredients and for a second it seems like you have figured it all out. But, the next thing you know, you have no clue what to look out for. When it comes to dog food, most of it is made out of four basic components: water, healthy fats, fiber, and protein. Ingredients in dog food are listed by their weight. You can use this as a tip on how to distinguish low quality and high quality dog food. Protein In Dog Food High quality dog food usually has meat listed as the first ingredient. The meat percentage is therefore normally written on the dog food package. So, look for whole protein in dry food, such as beef, turkey, salmon, rabbit, and pork. Although daily protein intake is a must, you can overdo it. Too much protein in diet is extremely unhealthy, especially if in small breeds. Excess protein can lead to problems with the digestive system, which lead to other health issues like obesity and heart problems. Healthy Fats Healthy fats such as beef fat and fish oil. Search for dog food with 3 and 6 omega fatty acids. These healthy fatty acids are often found in fish-based foods. Most quality dog food brands include these important ingredients in both wet food and dry kibble. Fatty acids such as omega 6 contribute to a healthy Goldendoodle coat. Working together with vitamins and other nutrients, these healthy fats help build a shiny, low-shedding coat with healthy skin. Healthy fats can be found in vegetable oils as well. Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are the second most important ingredient in dog food. Opt for healthy carbs like potato, squash, and berries. You can also hand-feed your Goldendoodle dog-friendly fruits and veggies. Well, such food helps maintain a healthy digestive system. Most dogs and cats too have sensitive stomachs. Grain-free dog food replaces grains like rice, corn and peas. It aids in maintenance of a healthy gut microbiome in dogs. Due to the fact that the Goldendoodles come in different sizes, the amount of ingredients found in dog food vary. Therefore, each puppy needs an individual diet plan. Here are some factors to keep in mind. This means that all three Goldendoodle sizes require different diets. Although they all show the same activity levels, their bodies require different amounts of food and nutrients. Normally, Goldendoodle males and females are different in terms of size. Females are usually smaller than male Goldendoodles. So, most of the time, female Doodles will eat less than males. Mini Goldendoodles are usually fed mini portions. Same goes for medium and standard Doodles, except they can eat a tad bigger portions. Without putting much thought into calculations, the main thing you have to worry about is to avoid your Goldendoodle puppy getting overweight or underweight. Age Goldendoodle puppies are some of the most high-energy puppies in the canine world. Considering their high energy levels, Goldendoodle puppies have different nutritional needs than older Doodles. This means that younger pups should be fed a proper diet that meets their nutritional needs. Age is an important factor in the Goldendoodle puppy growth which is connected to the feeding chart. Both the skeletal and digestive system of young Goldendoodle puppies benefit greatly from high quality dog food. Dog foods rich in calcium, protein, vitamins, and minerals are great for small Goldendoodle puppies in development. A healthy Goldendoodle puppy is the one that gets enough energy from food. Every puppy needs enough high quality nutrients. Finding the best dog food for Goldendoodle puppies will assure that they grow into beautiful adult dogs. Health Health and age go side by side. There is no way of raising a long-living Goldendoodle dog unless it is healthy. All creatures on this earth need some source of food in order to survive — so do puppies. In order to stay healthy and survive, dogs need a balanced diet. Moreover, Goldendoodles can develop different health issues because of their size. For example, Standard Goldendoodles that get up to 24 inches in height are more prone to hip and elbow dysplasia as most large dogs are. Besides physical activity, Goldendoodle puppies should get enough mental stimulation throughout the day. The amount of food you should give your Goldendoodle depends on how active it is — both mentally and physically. For instance, if a chart states a pound Mini Goldendoodle needs 1. The diet of a growing Goldendoodle puppy is crucial. There are numerous commercial puppy foods on the market. These foods meet their specific nutritional needs and should be fed until the Goldendoodle puppy is twelve to eighteen months of age, depending on its body condition and size. To avoid developmental issues, large Goldendoodles should start with a large-breed puppy food and then switch to an adolescent formula until they reach their full size. According to its age, here are some basic feeding guidelines for your Goldendoodle puppy: Birth To Two Weeks Old Goldendoodle Puppy A newborn Goldendoodle puppy must start nursing as soon as possible. The most important part of its tiny life is ingesting the right amount of colostrum. Colostrum is what we call the first milk the mother Goldendoodle dog produces. It is full of crucial ingredients, like enzymes, hormones, polyamides, nucleic acid derivatives, amino acids, proteins, and immunoglobulins. This means that the colostrum is the best substance that helps build a strong immune system to fight puppy diseases. There is no synthetic puppy formula that can completely replace colostrum. This is a one-of-a-kind product that is only produced by the mother dog. There are cases when the mother is not able to produce any milk due to hormonal, or other disorders , in which the whole litter of puppies is at risk. In fact, the whole litter may not make it in the next 48 hours. Newborn Goldendoodle puppies are to be fed every three to four hours. If it ever comes to this situation, dog owners must act quickly. One should either find a high-quality puppy formula to feed the orphaned puppies , or find a substitute dog mother. At two weeks of age, the Goldendoodle puppy becomes stronger and its immune system is developing. Two-week old Goldendoodle puppies still require meals per day. Mini Goldendoodle puppies should be fed up to 15 mL with each meal. Medium and Standard two-week old Goldendoodle puppies should eat from 20 to 25 mL with each meal. The best thing to do is read the instructions on the puppy formula package or consult your veterinarian. As they become more active, Goldendoodle puppies stop nursing by four weeks of age. Four weeks of age is when Doodle puppies are extremely active — for the first time! They enjoy learning new smells and sounds. Increased activity equals higher energy requirements. Make sure to choose the best dog food brand you can find. Puppy diarrhea and stomach problems may occur when they are first introduced to puppy food this usually goes away quickly. Grainy dog poop may be a result of improper diet. Now it may start to eat dry kibble. However, by eight weeks of age, a Goldendoodle puppy should already have an increased and healthy appetite. This means that its energy requirements are over the roof. And it will stay like this until it reaches its adult size. You can always prepare healthy homemade puppy food. But, before making your own dog food, make sure to know what human foods are bad for dogs. Smaller Goldendoodles usually require less frequent meals. By six months of age, most Goldendoodle puppies have a balanced feeding schedule. A twelve month old Goldendoodle puppy is basically an adult dog. However, some Goldendoodles may reach adulthood when they are 18 months old. After twelve months of age, your Goldendoodle puppy can switch to adult dog food. During this period you can experiment with vegetable meals. Try boiling chicken for your all grown up Doodle. So, start with breakfast. Your Goldendoodle puppy should eat breakfast at the same time you do preferably at the same time every day. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right? Therefore, make sure to give your Doodle puppy a proper, measured meal. Lunch should be around five hours away from breakfast. In between two meals, your Goldendoodle puppy should get some exercise. But, not straight after a meal — wait at least two hours before any major physical activity. Dinner is served in the evening and should contain light foods. Avoid feeding your Goldendoodle treats during the evening. Dog treats may lead to your puppy becoming restless at night. When your Goldendoodle puppy reaches adulthood, you can switch to feeding it two meals per day with healthy snacks in between. Supplements are a great source of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and probiotics. Calcium and phosphorus are two minerals that you should give to your Goldendoodle puppy because they are necessary during its development years. However, frequent and high intake of supplements may lead to health problems. So, I highly recommend taking notes and keeping a puppy feeding schedule. Feeding your Goldendoodle puppy a high quality diet assures raising a healthy puppy. And the key to long life is a well-balanced diet, along with lots of physical activity and lots of love! Using the Goldendoodle feeding chart helps you keep track of how much food and how many meals per day your Goldendoodle puppy eats. Related Content.

Rickets: Rickets is a rare disorder of young, growing animals that causes soft and distorted bones. It is generally caused by poor phosphorus or vitamin D in the diet.

Occasionally, there may be watery release from the eyes or nose. How much should I feed my Goldendoodle puppy? Feel about its ribs — you should be capable to feel the ribs but not seeing them separately when simply glancing at them. Also, do your best to observe the advice in the chart above. You can also ask the breeder who sold you the puppy to see if they have any suggestions. Yet, this does not suggest that you should have big amounts of food willingly available to your dog all of the time. Since puppies grow fast, the importance and frequency of meals change as they develop. Summary Feeding a Goldendoodle can both be difficult and comfortable at the same time. Since they are not choosy eaters, these dogs can adapt well to new meals. The downside is that the Goldendoodle manages to have an acute stomach. This means you have to be alert about what you give your puppy. Remember, satisfied dogs are the healthful ones. If your Goldendoodle is overfed, it can lead to a host of health problems. Here are some signs that your Goldendoodle may be overfed. Similarly, underfeeding your Goldendoodle will cause it to become incredibly skinny, and it will be more prone to getting sick. This is why you need to strike that balance when feeding your pup. Feeding Chart for Goldendoodles Here, we present to you a feeding chart for Goldendoodles of different ages. They are energetic and playful, and they make great family pets. Goldendoodles typically reach their full adult size between 8 and 12 months old, but they can continue to grow until they are two years old. During this time, it is important to feed them the right amount of food to help them grow at a healthy rate. This will help to ensure that they get the nutrients they need without gaining too much weight. Goldendoodles are active dogs, so be sure to provide plenty of opportunities for exercise as well. With the proper care, Goldendoodles can be happy and healthy pets for many years to come. When they are aged months, they should be fed three cups a day. If they start to gain too much weight, reduce their portion sizes. If they start to lose weight, increase their portion sizes. Feeding a Goldendoodle is not difficult but requires some attention and care. With a little bit of effort, you can ensure that your Goldendoodle stays healthy and happy. This should be split into two meals, with no more than 1. With the right food and care, your Goldendoodle will stay healthy and happy for years to come! Plus, all that fur means they tend to lose a lot of body heat, so they need extra calories to stay warm. Of course, every dog is different, so you should always consult your veterinarian to determine the best diet for your Goldendoodle. But as a general rule of thumb, cups a day is a good amount of food for an adult Goldendoodle. What Foods Should You Feed Your Goldendoodles Here are some of the best food choices for Goldendoodles: Dog food based on meat and vegetables: This type of food is packed with nutrients that your Goldendoodle needs to stay healthy. This type of food is designed specifically for puppies and contains all the nutrients they need to grow and develop properly. Grain-free food: Some Goldendoodles have grain sensitivities, so grain-free food is a good option for them. This type of food is also generally easier for dogs to digest. Which Food Types Are Bad for Goldendoodles While Goldendoodles are generally known for being one of the most food-friendly dog breeds, there are still some foods that they should avoid. The worst food for Goldendoodles is actually quite a common one: chocolate. Chocolate contains a compound called theobromine, which can be toxic to dogs in large quantities. Other foods to avoid include onions, garlic, grapes, and raisins, all of which can cause gastrointestinal distress or even kidney damage. Signs Your Goldendoodle Has a Bad Stomach Goldendoodles are generally healthy dogs, but like all breeds, they can sometimes suffer from stomach problems. Sometimes stomach issues can be caused by something as simple as a change in diet, but other times they can be indicative of a more serious problem. If your dog is lethargic, has a loss of appetite, or is vomiting blood or bile, these are all signs that something more serious may be going on, and you should seek veterinary care immediately. This unfortunately is common in the Poodle breed and Lexie at a 8 years old just had a near death experience with this issue! So, how much should you feed your mini Goldendoodle puppy? Depending on his breed, activity level, and size, you may need to adjust the amount of food you are currently giving him. Always remember — puppies need plenty of water to stay hydrated! Related Reading. Senior formula Notes: Adult Formula: Adult dog food is formulated to meet the nutritional needs of dogs aged years. It usually contains a balanced ratio of protein, fats, and carbohydrates. Senior Formula: Senior dog food is specially formulated for older dogs and usually contains fewer calories and more fiber, along with joint supplements like glucosamine. This is a serious and life-threatening condition that can affect deep-chested breeds. Research indicates that the risk of bloat is reduced when dogs are fed smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day, as opposed to one large meal. F1B Doodles, which have a higher percentage of Poodle genetics, may be more likely to inherit the deep chest characteristic and, consequently, may be at a higher risk for bloat. Large Doodles may also be more prone to this condition due to their size. Not only does this feeding strategy help in reducing the risk of bloat, but it also provides excellent training opportunities for your intelligent Doodle. Before each mini-meal, you can ask your dog to perform specific commands or behaviors, reinforcing good habits and mental stimulation. By being proactive and informed, you can take steps to minimize health risks while also providing a stimulating and enriching environment for your Goldendoodle. For Mini Goldendoodles, it is ideal to feed them meals per day during the first four to six months of their lives. As they grow older, you can gradually decrease the meal frequency to times daily.

What is the recommended food amount for 6-month-old Goldendoodles? At six months, Goldendoodles are growing and require more nutrients and calories. As a rough estimate, you might feed your 6-month-old Goldendoodle cups of high-quality dog food per day, divided into meals. Always consult your veterinarian to establish a customized feeding plan. Which is the best food for Goldendoodle puppies? The best food for Goldendoodle puppies is a high-quality dog food specifically formulated for puppies. Look for a brand that has a good balance of protein, fat, and carbohydrates, as well as essential vitamins and minerals for proper growth and development. When should I transition my Goldendoodle from puppy food to adult food? Gradually mix the adult food into the puppy food, increasing the proportion of adult food each day until the puppy food is completely replaced. This means you should avoid leaving food out for them at all times, as they can eat too much and become sick or even develop bloat, which can quickly become deadly. How To Feed Your Goldendoodle Puppy This may seem like a silly question, but it is relevant because the answer is actually not that obvious! You should be able to cover the food with your hand without your puppy making too much fuss. Allow them to start eating. While they are eating, stroke them and pet their heads. This is an excellent time to brush them, too, as they are occupied and not scrambling around. This is an important practice to get them used to your presence and prevent food guarding and aggression. Considering how large Goldendoodles can get even when they are puppies, this is an important part of their training. Next, give your puppy about 15 minutes to eat their food. During this time, they will either eat all of their food or eat until they are full and lose interest in the rest. After 15 minutes is up, remove any of the uneaten food left behind. If your puppy is still eating, then let them finish their food. The number of options can be overwhelming! Hopefully, I can whittle it down for you and make the decision a little easier. The American Kennel Club recommends using premium or high-end puppy food as they typically have a higher nutritional density and are more consistent, whereas cheaper foods can be inconsistent and contain filler products. Puppies have higher nutritional needs than adult dogs. Their food should be more nutrient-dense because they can only eat a little bit at a time. Their food will generally be more expensive owing to its quality; however, it should last you longer than a bag of adult food. Just like with adult dog food, you can choose between kibble or solid food, pouches or semi-moist food, or canned soft food. Top Puppy Food Suggestions For Goldendoodles While there are innumerable options out there for you to choose from, I have carefully narrowed them down to three products that I highly recommend for your Goldendoodle. Your Goldendoodle will grow to be very large and be prone to joint problems, so it is a wise decision to start them on puppy food that will support their growth through the time when they are doing most of it.
