What Cockapoos need most from their food
As a Cocker Spaniel-Poodle cross, Cockapoos inherit needs from both parent breeds:
Ear Health
Both parents have floppy, infection-prone ears. Food sensitivities often contribute — a simple, single-protein diet makes a known trigger easier to avoid.
Coat Quality
The wavy, low-shed Cockapoo coat depends on protein and omega-3s for health and reduced matting.
Food Sensitivities
Both parent breeds are allergy-prone. Single-protein food with no wheat, corn or soy makes a known trigger easier to avoid.
Skin & Coat Health
Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil support skin barrier health and coat quality from the inside out.
Why freeze-dried raw is right for CockapoosCockapoos
Cockapoos blend the Cocker Spaniel and the Poodle — both breeds known for floppy, infection-prone ears, coat-care needs, and allergy sensitivity. This makes a clean, omega-rich diet with no wheat, corn or soy particularly well-suited to the breed.
Ear infections in Cockapoos are sometimes linked to food sensitivities, and the wavy, low-shed coat depends on dietary protein and omega-3s. A clean diet free of wheat, corn, soy, and synthetic additives removes the most common food sensitivity triggers, while fish oil omega-3s support the coat and skin barrier. Loyal Saints addresses all of these together.

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 Cockapoos 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.

Cockapoo ear infections and skin issues can have a dietary component. Removing wheat, corn, soy, and synthetic additives addresses the inherited allergy sensitivity at the source.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Cockapoo keep getting ear infections?
Both parent breeds have floppy, hair-filled ears that trap moisture, and food sensitivities are a common contributing factor. 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.
What is the best dog food for a Cockapoo?
Turkey + Salmon is the top pick — the omega-3s support the coat, skin, and ear health that matter for this breed. For Cockapoos with active food sensitivities, start with single-protein Chicken to assess tolerance first.
How do I care for my Cockapoo’s coat?
The wavy, low-shed coat depends on dietary protein and omega-3s and is prone to matting. Turkey + Salmon provides the EPA and DHA that support coat health. Regular grooming remains essential for the low-shed coat.
How much should I feed my Cockapoo?
Cockapoos typically weigh 12–25 lbs. An 18 lb Cockapoo needs about 1⅔ cups of freeze-dried raw a day as a complete meal (Beef or Turkey + Salmon; 1¾ cups of Chicken), split into two meals. Adjust based on size, body condition, and activity.
