Oodle Diet, Exercise & Enrichment
Feed the dog in front of you. Make movement enjoyable. Leave room for rest.
Food that fits their life
Choose a complete, balanced food appropriate to life stage and health. The right amount depends on body size, condition and activity. Measure portions and review them with your vet as needs change. For a growing large Groodle, ask specifically about food suitable for large-breed growth.
Use the manufacturer’s feeding guide as a starting point, then monitor weight and condition. Include treats and food used in games in the daily intake. Change diets gradually unless your vet directs otherwise; persistent digestive signs need assessment.
Look beyond the front of the packet
WSAVA’s toolkit helps owners ask about the formulator’s qualifications, nutritional adequacy and quality control. Ingredient lists and marketing words alone do not establish quality. Ask your vet about supplements and any home-prepared diet.
Build movement gradually
Start from your dog’s comfortable level. Growing dogs should not be forced into sustained running or repetitive high-impact activity. Adult exercise also needs to match fitness and health; there is no universal daily minute target for all three Oodle types.
A menu of shared activities
- A walk with time to sniff
- A short reward-based training session
- A supervised food puzzle using part of the normal ration
- A simple scent search suited to their ability
- A quiet resting place afterwards
Rotate activities and choose toys that fit your dog’s size and chewing style. Remove damaged toys. Enrichment supports wellbeing but does not replace assessment for persistent anxiety.
Make it practical
Pick one meal habit and one enjoyable activity to focus on this week. Notice comfort, willingness and recovery, then adjust with your vet if you have concerns.
