Are you considering adding an Australian Labradoodle to your family? The intelligent, affectionate, hypoallergenic dogs make wonderful companions but come with a significant financial commitment. The standard pricing for an Australian Labradoodle from The Labradoodle Corral is $3,000 minus your down payment, covering your new furry friend plus a range of essential services and benefits. Let's break down what's included and the additional costs you might encounter.

How Much Do Australian Labradoodle Puppies Cost?

The adoption fee for one of our premium Australian Labradoodle puppies is $3,000 (minus your $200 deposit). When you break it down, this comes to about 45 cents a day for the next 18 years, a small price for the purest unconditional love you’ll ever receive. All Australian Labradoodle breeders in the Midwest are priced similarly, but costs can creep up to $4,000 as you get closer to the coasts. The Labradoodle Corral provides exceptional value compared to other breeders in our price range.

Our all-inclusive fee covers:

A veterinary puppy health check
A spay/neuter agreement
Micro Chip implantation
Current vaccinations and deworming
Generation Pedigree
2-year genetic health warranty (covering any inherited life-threatening disease)
Puppy kit
Go home training video on proper crate, potty, leash and command training
Crate training and litter training
A blanket with other pup smells for an easier transition
All vet records, including first vaccinations
Parent and grandparent pedigree
Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) training (Learn more about ENS training)
Car rides to prevent car sickness
Sound therapy to reduce fear of thunder, horns, vacuums, hair dryers, fireworks and more
Grooming training using an electric toothbrush to acclimate puppies to the sound and vibration of clippers, reducing stress during grooming sessions

When you pick up your puppy, they will be bathed, trimmed and ready to join your family. Our breeding dogs are the pick of the litter, having passed rigorous standards for eye, heart, liver, hip and elbow dysplasia, bite, coat and temperament. Our process helps guarantee your puppy is free from many of the expensive health issues common in other breeds, which is why we confidently offer a full 2-year health guarantee.

Choosing the Best Dog Food for Your Australian Labradoodle

When it comes to keeping your Australian Labradoodle healthy and happy, nutrition plays a crucial role. These intelligent, active dogs thrive on a balanced diet that supports their energy levels, coat health and overall well-being. Here’s what to look for when selecting the best dog food for your Australian Labradoodle:

Key Nutritional Needs

High-Quality Protein: Look for dog food with real meat as the first ingredient, such as chicken, turkey, lamb or salmon. Protein supports muscle development and provides energy for your active Labradoodle.
Healthy Fats: Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, found in ingredients like fish oil or flaxseed, promote a shiny coat and healthy skin—essential for Labradoodles with their unique, hypoallergenic coats.
Digestible Carbohydrates: Ingredients like sweet potatoes, brown rice and oats provide sustained energy and are gentle on sensitive stomachs.
Vitamins and Minerals: A balanced mix of vitamins (like A, E, and B-complex) and minerals (such as zinc and copper) supports overall health, immunity, and vitality.
No Fillers or Artificial Additives: Avoid dog foods with artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives, as well as low-quality fillers like corn, soy, or by-products.

Special Considerations for Australian Labradoodles

Hypoallergenic Needs: Many Australian Labradoodles have sensitive skin or allergies. Opt for hypoallergenic dog food formulas that avoid common allergens like beef, dairy, wheat and soy.
Life Stage Appropriateness: Puppies, adults and senior dogs have different nutritional needs. Choose a dog food specifically formulated for your Labradoodle’s age and activity level.
Grain-Free vs. Grain-Inclusive: While some Labradoodles do well on grain-free diets, others thrive with whole grains like oats or brown rice. Monitor your dog’s response and consult your vet if you’re unsure.

Feeding Tips

Portion Control: Follow the feeding guidelines on the dog food packaging, adjusting based on your Labradoodle’s age, weight, and activity level.
Regular Meal Times: Establish a consistent feeding schedule to help with digestion and training.
Monitor Your Dog’s Health: Watch for signs of food allergies or sensitivities, such as itching, digestive issues, or changes in coat quality. If you notice any concerns, consult your veterinarian.

By choosing the right dog food and feeding practices, you can keep your Australian Labradoodle healthy, energetic and ready to enjoy life by your side.

Additional Costs to Consider

Unexpected Fees & Emergencies

We recommend setting aside $500-$1,000 in an emergency fund for unexpected veterinary care. If you're renting your living space, be aware of potential pet fees from one-time payments of $200-$500 to monthly fees of $10-$50.

Training

Australian Labradoodles often benefit from professional training because of their intelligence and eagerness to please. Plan $50-$200 per session for professional training to help with socialization and obedience.
