The Maroodle’s size and activity level call for a balanced, nutrient-dense diet. Choose a high-quality kibble or fresh food tailored to large or active breeds, with a solid protein source like lamb, chicken, or fish as the main ingredient. Look for formulas that support:

• Joint health, with glucosamine and chondroitin

• Skin and coat condition, especially for curlier coats

• Steady growth in puppies, to avoid joint stress

Puppies should be fed 3–4 small meals a day until six months old, then moved to twice-daily adult portions. Always provide clean, fresh water, especially after exercise or in warm weather.

Avoid overfeeding. Maroodles can carry excess weight if under-exercised, which puts pressure on hips and elbows. Stick to feeding guidelines and limit treats to training rewards or healthy chews.

This breed thrives on movement and purpose. A Maroodle that’s left idle will often turn to barking, digging, or pacing, so give them an outlet daily. Because of their livestock guardian ancestry, Maroodles often enjoy having a job—whether that’s watching the yard, accompanying you on hikes, or learning agility or advanced obedience tasks.

Avoid harsh physical activity while they’re still growing, as their joints are still developing. Shorter, controlled play is safer for puppies under 12 months.

This breed mix does best with consistent, gentle training that rewards good behaviour. Start early with positive reinforcement techniques. Obedience classes can be helpful for first-time large breed owners. Mental games and tasks can also be good to keep their working brain engaged.

Their independent streak (thanks to their Maremma roots) can make them seem stubborn, but with patience and clear boundaries, Maroodles blossom into obedient companions.
