Every food below is scored against a Dalmadoodle (Dalmatian x Poodle) specifically, not against dogs in general. Breed changes how much each factor counts, which is why the same food can rank very differently from one breed to the next.
Target protein for a Dalmadoodle (Dalmatian x Poodle) sits between 23% and 28%, with fat ideally under 12%.

Open PawsePalCalorie figures use the same resting energy calculation as the PawsePal app and assume a neutered adult. Weight ranges are breed typicals, not targets for an individual dog. This page is information, not veterinary advice.
