What dog food is right for my panting 14-month-old Labradoodle?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

I’m confused about what dog food we should be feeding my 14 month Labradoodle. She’s been getting Natural Balance which comes in a roll along with Life’s Abundance dry food. Recently, she’s been panting heavily and resting in shady spots on our walks as much as possible. Any suggestions?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! As far as the diet goes, I recommend Purina, Royal canin and Science Diet as they are of great quality though you could continue feeding her Natural balance as long as it is not grain free. She could be hiding from the heat if it is too hot. Make sure that she remains inside if it is too hot outside. Best of luck!
