Best Dog Food for Cockapoos — Nutrition That Matches the Breed
Cockapoos inherit Cocker Spaniel ear and coat needs and Poodle allergy sensitivity. Omega-rich, clean freeze-dried raw supports coat, ears, and skin together.
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 clean diet reduces dietary triggers.
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, allergen-free food reduces triggers.
Skin & Coat Health
Omega-3 fatty acids from real salmon 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, allergen-free diet particularly well-suited to the breed.
Ear infections in Cockapoos are frequently diet-linked, 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 salmon oil omega-3s support the coat and skin barrier. Loyal Saints addresses all of these together.

Loyal Saints was built because of one dog's transformation. King — Kristina Voltin's dog — developed chronic digestive issues and food allergies eating processed food. She formulated a human-grade, whole-food, freeze-dried raw diet and King's health transformed. 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 are often diet-driven. 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. Removing dietary triggers (wheat, corn, soy, synthetic additives) reduces the inflammatory response that contributes to infections. Combined with routine ear cleaning, a clean diet helps reduce recurrence.
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. A 18 lb Cockapoo needs roughly ¾ cup of rehydrated Loyal Saints daily, split into two meals. Adjust based on size, body condition, and activity.
