The Foundation of a Healthy Start: Why We Feed Our Dogs WholeHearted All-Breed 30/20

A fluffy Cockapoo enjoys its meal from a cheerful polka-dotted bowl.

One of the most common—and most important—questions we get from our new puppy families is, "What should I feed my puppy?" It’s a question we love, because it shows a deep commitment to the puppy's future health and well-being.

At Dreamy Night Doodles, we believe that a lifetime of good health begins with an exceptional nutritional foundation. After careful research and seeing the fantastic results in our own parent dogs and their litters, we have confidently chosen to feed and recommend WholeHearted All-Breed Active Performance 30/20 Formula.

We want our families to feel as confident as we do, so here’s a look at why we trust this specific food for our cherished Cockapoos and Cavapoos.

Decoding the Numbers: What Does "30/20" Mean?

The numbers on the bag are the key to understanding why this food is so beneficial for growing puppies and active dogs. This formula is specifically designed for high performance.

• 30% Protein: Protein is the single most important building block for a growing puppy. It's essential for developing strong muscles, healthy organs, and a robust immune system. This high-protein content provides all the necessary amino acids your puppy needs to thrive during their critical growth phases.

• 20% Fat: It's a common myth that fat is something to avoid. For a playful, energetic puppy, healthy fats are the most important source of concentrated energy. Fat is also vital for brain development, nutrient absorption, and maintaining healthy skin and a lustrous, soft coat—something every doodle owner wants!

This 30/20 ratio provides the perfect high-octane fuel needed for both our active parent dogs and our puppies as they grow and explore the world.

More Than Just Numbers: Quality Ingredients Matter

Beyond the protein and fat content, the ingredient list is what truly sets a quality food apart. Here’s what we love about the WholeHearted formula:

• Real Meat is the First Ingredient: The recipe starts with real animal protein, ensuring the nutrients are wholesome and easily digestible.

• Canine Probiotics: Every bag contains live probiotic cultures that help support healthy digestion. This is especially important for a puppy's sensitive stomach.

• No Unnecessary Fillers: The formula is made without corn, wheat, or soy, which can be common allergens for some dogs.

• Omega Fatty Acids: In addition to the high fat content, it's fortified with Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids to further support that beautiful skin and coat.

Consistency is Key for a Happy Tummy

Your puppy has been raised on WholeHearted 30/20 since they were weaned from their mother. Their digestive system is accustomed to it, and they are thriving on it.

To ensure the smoothest possible transition into your home, we strongly recommend you continue feeding your puppy this same food. Switching food brands suddenly can cause digestive upset like diarrhea, which is the last thing you want to deal with during the exciting first few weeks.

You can find the WholeHearted brand exclusively at Petco stores or on their website.

If you eventually decide to transition to a different food, please do so gradually over a period of 7-10 days by mixing the new food with the old, slowly increasing the new and decreasing the old.

Our commitment is to raise the healthiest, happiest puppies possible, and that mission starts in their food bowl. By providing a diet rich in high-quality protein and healthy fats, we are giving every Dreamy Night Doodle the best possible start in life.
