Your aim in feeding a bulldog puppy should be to aid in muscle, bone and joint growth as much as possible without causing your puppy to become obese. It is best to feed a 2-4 month old puppy 3 or 4 times a day. Be careful not to overfeed. Until you are familiar with your bullies eating habits avoid making his food accessable all the time. If you notice your puppy is putting on too much weight you may want to restrict his food consumption. Obesity can be a serious health threat to your bully. You can begin feeding your bully adult food at about 12 to 18 months.
If you have your bully spayed or neutered or if because of old age he becomes less active you will want to switch to a "light" or "low fat" version of his food to avoid obesity. If the kibble is hard you may want to soften it with warm water. We suggest Quality dog food such as Nutra Nuggets Puppy Formula, Royal Canin Medium Breed Puppy (32), Pro Plan Puppy Chicken & Rice Formula or Hill 's Science Diet Nature's Best Puppy Chicken & Brown Rice.
We have chosen Nutra Nuggets Puppy Formula. But we stress that any of these dog food brands can change their ingredients and ways of processing for the better or worse at any time. So educate yourself on the different brands and check the labels periodically for any changes. Basically the less "junk" in it the better. Avoid food with lots of preservatives and fillers. And never feed a Bulldog anything with soybeans or soybean oils as these are very difficult for bulldogs to digest. Adding yogurt and/or cottage cheese contributes to bone growth and digestive system health and most bullies love the taste. (1 teaspoon-1 tablespoon per feeding). Maybe 2 when
your bully is an adult. Corn oil or canola oil (1-2 teaspoons a day) are great for the coat and skin.( No soybean oil! ) Hard boiled eggs(1/2 to 1 per day) are great too. We suggest supplementing your bullies diet with vitamin C for good immune system support and joint development and strength. You can get this with %120 Vit C orange juice or real oranges(2-3 times per week). Add it to their food or serve it separately based on your bullies preference. Fresh water should be available at all times! However if your bully is very winded or panting heavily after a run you should let him have just a little at a time until he is cooled off.
