Food

Just like people, dogs thrive when they eat a balanced, high quality diet. Good nutrition plays a key role in your puppy’s growth, energy, immune system and over well-being. We take nutrition seriously starting with our parent dogs.

Nutrition and feeding Guide for Your Australian labradoodle

Why Acana

At Ohio Valley Labradoodles, we feed ACANA Wholesome Grains Puppy Recipe because it provides a balanced, thoughtful foundation for growing puppies. It is built with a high percentage of quality animal ingredients to support muscle development, paired with fiber-rich grains like oats and sorghum that are gentle on digestion and help maintain steady energy. The inclusion of prebiotics, probiotics, and omega fatty acids supports gut health, coat quality, and overall development, while DHA contributes to brain growth during these early stages. We value that it is made without artificial additives or unnecessary fillers, allowing us to start our puppies on a consistent, nutrient-dense diet that supports both their immediate growth and long-term well-being.
