What soft and hard food should I feed my Goldendoodle puppy now and later?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Goldendoodle | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 7 days old | 10 lbs

Is there a specific (unbiased) soft-dog food you recommend for a puppy petite Goldendoodle? I don't intend to always utilize soft canned food, but was told it would be good to introduce to him at a young age. Also, any recommendation in hard food (kibble) as he progresses in age? Thank you!

Congratulations on your new puppy Diggy! In general I like the brand Royal Canin. The dogs that I see (including my own) that eat that diet tend to have nice hair coats and good stool quality. They make a variety of breed specific and size specific diets. The breeds for the small dogs also have enzymes that make harder for bacteria to cling to teeth (which helps reduce tartar build up). I also like Purina ProPlan and Iams. Please post again if you have any further questions!
