What Cavapoos need most from their food
As a Cavalier-Poodle cross, Cavapoos inherit predispositions from both parent breeds:
Coat Quality
The wavy, low-shed Cavapoo coat depends on protein and omega-3s. Fish oil supports coat health and reduces matting-prone dryness.
Food Sensitivities
Both parent breeds are allergy-prone. Single-protein food with no wheat, corn or soy makes a known trigger easier to avoid.
Heart Health
Cavalier heritage brings cardiac predisposition. Lean weight and omega-3s support cardiovascular health.
Ear Health
Floppy, hair-filled ears prone to infection, sometimes linked to food sensitivities. A simple, single-protein diet makes a known trigger easier to avoid.
Why freeze-dried raw is right for CavapoosCavapoos
Cavapoos blend the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Poodle — inheriting the Cavalier’s cardiac and coat considerations and the Poodle’s allergy sensitivity. This combination makes a clean, omega-rich diet with no wheat, corn or soy especially well-suited to the breed.
The wavy, low-shedding coat depends on dietary protein and omega-3s, and both parent breeds are prone to food sensitivities and ear infections that are sometimes linked to food sensitivities. Maintaining lean weight and feeding an omega-3-rich diet also supports the cardiovascular health the Cavalier line is predisposed to. Loyal Saints addresses all of these.

The standard is King.
Loyal Saints was built because of one dog. King’s digestive sensitivities pushed Kristina Voltin to question the ingredients, processing and nutrition behind every bowl. She formulated a whole-food, freeze-dried raw diet from human-grade quality ingredients — food she felt confident feeding King every day. Every formula is held to that standard: would I feed this to King?
For Cavapoos owners navigating the same questions Kristina faced — about ingredients, about what’s really in the bag, about whether the food is actually good — Loyal Saints is the answer she built for them.

Cavapoos inherit allergy sensitivity and ear-infection tendency from both parents. Removing wheat, corn, soy, and synthetic additives addresses the most common diet-driven triggers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best dog food for a Cavapoo?
Turkey + Salmon is the top pick — the omega-3s support the Cavapoo’s coat, skin, and cardiovascular health (a Cavalier-line consideration). For Cavapoos with food sensitivities, start with single-protein Chicken to assess tolerance, then introduce variety.
How do I care for my Cavapoo’s coat?
The wavy, low-shed coat depends on dietary protein and omega-3s, and is prone to dryness and matting without adequate nutrition. Turkey + Salmon provides the EPA and DHA that support coat health and reduce dryness. Regular grooming remains essential for the low-shed coat.
Why does my Cavapoo get ear infections?
Floppy, hair-filled ears trap moisture, and food sensitivities are a common contributing factor in both parent breeds. When food plays a part, a single-protein diet with no wheat, corn or soy makes the trigger easier to avoid. Routine ear cleaning and drying, and your vet’s care, do the rest.
How much should I feed my Cavapoo?
Cavapoos typically weigh 9–25 lbs depending on the Poodle parent’s size. A 15 lb Cavapoo needs about 1½ cups of freeze-dried raw a day as a complete meal (Beef or Turkey + Salmon; 1½ cups of Chicken), split into two meals. Adjust based on size, body condition, and activity.
