Any Q

Goldendoodle puppies don't stop growing and aren't ready for adult food… until they reach 15 to 18 months of age. Because they're considered large breed dogs, switching your goldendoodle puppy to adult food too soon may increase your pet's risk of developing a diet-related and crippling form of canine hip disease.


How long should I feed a goldendoodle puppy food?

6–12 months: Begin feeding twice daily. Spaying or neutering lowers energy requirements slightly; after the procedure, switch from nutrient-rich puppy food to adult maintenance food. Small breeds can make the switch at 7 to 9 months; bigger breeds at 12, 13, even 14 months.

At what age should I quit feeding my dog puppy food?

A good rule of thumb for transitioning from puppy food to adult dog food is: 9-12 months old for small breeds (under 25 pounds expected adult weight) 10-12 months for medium breeds (25-50 pounds) 12-16 months for large breeds (50-100 pounds)
