Code information
What should you feed your Australian Labradoodle puppy?
I recommend Purina Pro Plan Puppy Food and All stages 30/20! Our puppies are raised on ProPlan Puppy Food Chicken and Rice and/or Lamb and Rice.
Purnina ProPlan can be purchased at Petsmart, Amazon, Rural King, just to name a few options.
It is important not to suddenly change your puppy’s diet – to do so can invite digestive problems such as diarrhea, constipation or tummy ache. So, to help you continue where we have left off, here is what your puppy is used to eating:
Variety is the key, and we have started them on protein cycling. Which simple put is alternating different forms of protein in their kibble. (chicken, lamb, turkey, whitefish) We use Purina Pro Plan puppy food I can give you other recommendations upon request.
- Commercial puppy biscuits or tins (very occasionally given as a “backup feed”)
- For treats, use kibble or high value treats for training. (high value-chicken, turkey-hot dog)
Do not over-feed your puppy! Forcing rapid growth can lead to health problems later, particularly with joints. Keep him trim and let him feel hungry now and then.
Whatever he can eat in 15 minutes at each meal is the right amount. Take leftovers away until the next meal.
Proper Nutrition with Paw Tree
Optimal Nutrition is key to excellent health and longevity for your pet. Paw Tree recipes are formulated with no corn, no wheat and no soy because they know our pets rely on us to make the best nutrition choices for them. Their recipes contain no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives or poultry by-products.
I recommend Chicken and Sweet Potato initially, but you may cycle through any of the protein foods as you wish.
Snuggle Puppy
You can purchase a sleep time friend from us that has a heartbeat and the scent of the litter for only $35.00
We send our puppies home with a snuggly comfort toy that smells like their littermates. The soft heartbeat and warmth help ease the transition from our home to yours, so your puppy can settle in feeling safe and loved.
