Every food below is scored against a Schnoodle (Miniature) 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 Schnoodle (Miniature) sits between 23% and 29%, with fat ideally under 10%.
Resting requirement scaled for activity, for a neutered adult. Divide by the kcal per 100g on the pack to get grams.

Scan the pack and PawsePal scores it against your dog's actual weight, age and any health conditions, then gives you the portion in grams.
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.
